Words and Variation: Eliminate Misunderstanding

Words and Variation: Eliminate Misunderstanding

Design Your Processes, Design Your Reality

Design Your Processes, Design Your Reality

A recent afternoon was spent looking at the meticulous flowcharts of processes drawn up by an innovative software company for a client. It was something the client had never done for themselves. They were astonished when they saw the result. What did they reveal? Many people, especially in more traditional sectors, are accustomed to just […]

How Should We Treat the Foreigners in our Midst?

How Should We Treat the Foreigners in our Midst?

Globalization is accelerating interdependencies among nations. A complex web of trade and power creates wellbeing as well as wars and this triggers patterns of migration that have always existed but never with such speed. Financial crisis, austerity and diminishing quality of life opens space for populist messages to take hold. Discontented citizens look to nationalism […]

The New Leadership Skills for Complexity

The New Leadership Skills for Complexity

If Business Schools are churning out people with the skills that are not adequate for today’s complex world, how do we prepare people to work with complexity?

Why Business Education is Failing

Why Business Education is Failing

Dr. Deming said it years ago – MBAs teach students to raid companies, not to manage them. In her new book Makers & Takers: The Rise of Finance and the Fall of American Business, Rana Foroohar, assistant managing editor at Time, points a finger at business education. She states that in spite of the increase in people studying […]

Everything Is a Project

Everything Is a Project

When you really think hard about it, everything we do of any relevance is a project. With the exception of repetitive processes, e.g. bookkeeping, whether it’s creating something from scratch, manufacturing a product, on-boarding a new employee or pitching to a new customer, all these activities require resources with certain competencies to carry out tasks that […]

How Can We Solve the Urgent Crisis in Project Management?

How Can We Solve the Urgent Crisis in Project Management?

How many things in our lives are affected by poor project management? We probably can’t even imagine. Time, resources and money are wasted every day around the globe when projects fail to deliver.

The Risk of Not Working to a Goal Plan? Just Filling Your Time

The Risk of Not Working to a Goal Plan? Just Filling Your Time

No matter how busy we may be doing stuff during the day, that “busyness” is not necessarily a measure of progress. In fact, if we haven’t established a goal plan for our work for the year, quarter, month or day, then we really don’t know what we’re doing or why. Unless, of course, our goal […]
