As 2019 comes to a close, all of us at Intelligent Management send our warmest wishes to those who have taken the time to read our work. We are proud to have concluded another year of disruptive thinking. It is not disruption for the sake of it, but the creative disruption that comes from challenging […]

If Top Sectors Apply Critical Chain Method to Accelerate Projects, Why Does PMI Keep it Secret?

If Top Sectors Apply Critical Chain Method to Accelerate Projects, Why Does PMI Keep it Secret?

Every company has to coordinate and synchronize internal and external actions to get results. That’s the way every industry works and success depends on it. We can call it Project Management. There are thousands, if not millions, of well-meaning Project Managers around the world whose job is to help projects work. People spend millions of […]

The End of the McKinsey Model of Management Consulting?

Changing How We Think Business for the Digital Age

Changing How We Think Business for the Digital Age

We were recently asked an important question following an article of ours about the dangers of linear thinking: “I can see how organizations could get stuck in one way of thinking as it often happens.

Why Management Urgently Needs the Scientific Method

Why Management Urgently Needs the Scientific Method

The following is an excerpt from Dr. Domenico Lepore’s new book ‘Moving The Chains’. Before I began working in the field of management, I was educated as a physicist. However, it is not necessary to be a scientist to appreciate that from Galileo Galilei and Newton onwards, all the things that we know (as opposed […]

The Managing Director of the World Economic Forum recently published an article called ‘Why the World Needs Systems Leadership, Not Selfish Leadership’ The article concludes: The self-important don’t always win.

How to Take the SWOT Analysis to a Whole New Level

How to Take the SWOT Analysis to a Whole New Level

This week,  a client of ours drew up a SWOT analysis and it turned out to be a very productive event.  The SWOT analysis tool has been around for a very long time.

If it’s so spectacularly effective to manage an organization around a constraint, why doesn’t everyone  use the Theory of Constraints?

While working with a client at their plant last week, our Founder, Dr. Domenico Lepore, told the dramatic story of his visit to a German aluminium plant, part of a multi-billion, multi-national business.

Why Projects Complete “Sooner or Later”…

Why Projects Complete “Sooner or Later”…

What is a project? It’s a word that everyone is familiar with but it can mean very different things to different people. This can lead not just to misunderstandings but to intrinsic unreliability in delivery.
