Running a Pilot Program
Rosalind: How is the Pilot program coming along?
Jimmy: We’ll be ready To launch it in another month, but I have some serious Reservations.
Rosalind: Like what?
Jimmy: We haven’t Worked out all of the bugs yet and we might Come up against some Resistance from the community.
Rosalind: Isn’t that the Nature of a pilot program? When you’re Paving the way, you’re always going to have Skeptics and Dissenters.
Jimmy: You’re right, of course, but there’s a lot At stake. I just hope this Trial run will Win over some of those skeptics. It would be a shame to scrap this program after we’ve put in so much work.
Rosalind: After the program is launched, you’ll have six months To prove its worth, right?
Jimmy: Yeah, that’s right.
Rosalind: That’s plenty of time for the dissenters To see the light.
Jimmy: From your lips to God’s ears!
