A House of Cards


Your best bet: Gather: ideas, uncompleted initiatives, unheard voices, unsold solutions. Seek participation from impacted areas of the enterprise. Strategize: based on safety, based on market and enterprise opportunity windows, based on scarce resource available, based on time to put-on-production and time to go-to-market, based on financial thresholds. Weight benefits from the mix of options.   Select: initiatives that separate from the rest in backing up your enterprise mission, vision, and values for the longer run. Use the 80/20 rule. Execute: select a Project Manager with a natural craving to seek understanding of the pulling forces in a project rather than a “box checker” person. Monitor: Promote sincere report outs. Avoid watermelon projects.
