Innovations Are Under Your Nose is No. 1!

For months the Innovations Are Under Your Nose post is the most viewed post on my blog. Funny that it only has two comments. Maybe you can help me out by telling me why it’s number one. Is it the picture of the nose? the revelation that most innovations are copied? or could it be […]

Economic Myths: We’re in a Recession

Jim Lee’s economic analyses in the APICS on-line newsletter are a breath of fresh air. I’ve written about his thoughts before because he strips the discussion down to the facts of the matter. His latest demystifies today’s economy by attacking several myths. Here’s the first:
Myth #1: The consensus is that the world economy is in […]

What Does Competition in the Health Care Have to do with Project Management?

Glad you asked. I’ve been extremely interested in the medical “problem” of late- rising costs, increased government intervention, corporate interests, doctor’s interests, insurance interests, and lack of ability of the patient to select procedures, doctors, and be cost effective. With political campaigns tied to universal health care, the issues are front and center.

Does Process and Information Visibility Help Increase Competition?

Forbes magazine recently wrote about the medical industry in “Cranking Up the Volume“. Presumably, higher “volume” means more visibility into the processes behind medicare, medical equipment, and diagnosis. My contention is that our medical costs will go down if we can increase competition. Competition usually comes into play when information becomes available- information about services, […]

Getting Over an Impasse: Pursue Funding Now or Later?

Last week I dealt with an impasse related to a start-up’s decision to pursue funding now (my preference) or 6-9 months later. The founder is being advised by one group to wait until a new sales approach bears fruit before pursuing angel funding. My take is that he has enough of a business case for […]

What Do You Think?

When I ask “what do you think?” I’m really looking for thoughts, reactions, different ways to use concepts, and how you feel about what I write. Something as simple as a word being used in a different way can spark my thinking and drive my writing. For example, one commentor, who admitted he was intimidated […]
