This post is, inexplicably, number one month after month. Maybe it was stumbled a few times; could be it is simply great advice that was passed around. The simplicity of “go and see” IS remarkable. Don’t miss it.

I am very pleased that this one is well read- it indicates a realization that what corporate boards want is important AND reveals a clear link to excellent governance and PMO processes. This is the clearest, simplest advice I’ve written about.

Politics and suppressive organizational cultures are the enemies of innovation and strategy execution. Sometimes nothing can help these kinds of companies; but occasionally an upstart, tell-it-like-it-is consultant can have a tremendous impact. Read this and see how.

Do you care about economic freedom? Maybe you will after reading this post. GET INVOLVED!
