Sometimes you don't get to see things through to completion but you don't also get a stonewall from management based on fear, inertia, and just sticking with the vanilla old familiar. All the best.

What's the worst that can happen? some ups and down and you might go hungry for a bit at some stage? that beats having regrets... @Stephen

Heh: those senior managers are right; it is risky. To them. These technologies and approaches are utterly disruptive of top-down control. Change happens at glacial speed. Better to step outside and work where people are receptive. Congratulations on having the courage to pursue what you believe in.

Sounds a bit risky focussing on short-term contracts, especially in your industry where it seems few people understand what you and the value you bring to organisations; I have to admit I don't entirely understand what you do! But I entirely understand wanting to do what you want to do rather than what narrow-minded control freaks want :-) Good luck!
