That happened to me as well. It started out that they used IA as sort
of a bandaid on the failing projects. It was annoying, but we made
certain to offer plenty of insights at meetings so that the light
began to dawn on them that it would behoove them to bring IA in
earlier in the projects, rather than as a corrective measure.

It worked, it was painful and I will not lie; it took months. Now they
won't even think of starting a project without asking me to of
investigative work upfront. You'll get there, but you have to be
proactive and get to be buddies with the Project Managers. They can be
your closest ally.
