"Please tell us what is going to happen now, not back then, Edmund!"
Demanded Frank, the department director who is furious with an ad hoc unplanned interruption to the production line that is now risking millions of dollars worth of missed committed deadline to customers. He needs to know why in the urgent review meeting with his stuff before his conference with the customers to manage their expectation and to damage control.

But all Edmund was telling him for the past 20 minutes are all the plans and decisions taken back then 1 month ago when they declared a new portion of production floor release for production.

Now and not then is important as times have passed, things have changed and people grow, worse they also come and grow thus in such a situation, we need to stay in the current to make the best decision with the best of what we have now for the best possible solution and decision.

Past is what we had, now is what we own and future is what we look forward to.
