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 […]
Our b5media Theme Day focuses on Graduation - New Beginnings in a Challenging Economy led by Darlene at www.interviewchatter.com. Since my three daughters are in their “new beginnings” periods, I’m a sought after advisor. They are: 27 years old- just married and building fitness business, 25- radio show host of S&H Culture Club and fashion […]
I have some great, reliable, commentors. One of them is Alan Wilensky. Commenting on my June 7th post ““Fewer, More Successful Projects”: The New HP” he gave one of his great personal examples of an IT organization run amuck. Here is his comment (edited by me) and my response:
Alan W: A while ago, I was […]
I had to laugh at the headline from Manufacturing Business Technology:
Focus on Innovation: HP expects restructured labs to produce fewer, more successful projects
MBT went on to say, in an almost sad way, that HP consolidated its research to focus on 20 to 30 large research projects from about 150, with, lo and behold, a strategy […]
CIO Insight’s piece on innovation led me to try to find some gold nuggets. After wading through the article I did! Page 4 reveals a comment about governance models when talking about FedEx:
“You won’t find FedEx’s innovation-driven culture at most companies. McKinsey’s research points to one obstacle to innovation: While a vast majority of corporate […]
Here are the top viewed posts for projectmanagement411.com for May 2008. Interesting that the first two are much older (2-3 months) but continue to be top vote getters. Everything from innovation to PMO governance boards. The recent series on collaborative innovation seems to be sparking some great interest- very much a ground breaking “best of […]
I’m realizing that I’m a focal point for all things “project” having to do with executing strategies and innovation. In other words, I usually read what I’m interested in on this topic and then pick and choose the best for YOU and put my slant on it. This is my small way of changing things- […]
The Google way involves many approaches and policies that release innovation. Miki at Leadership Turn sparked my innovative synapses with her post. I focused on one item in my last post: letting people do what they want for 20% of the time. Brilliant! The second item that caught my attention was NOT managing but rather […]
Miki at Leadership Turn deals with innovation the Google way. It’s a great read- take a look. I’d like to focus on a couple of things that she brought up:
1. Google’s allowing people to work on their own ideas 20% of the time as long as they track what they are doing.
2. The idea of […]
Another country that provides readers to projectmanagement411 is Brazil. In fact they are fifth and rising (behind the US, Australia, Czech Republic and Canada) on the list of most readers by country this month.
One reason I’m intensely interested in Brazil is because of their energy policy. Wikipedia says that Brazil…:
“is the world’s second largest producer […]
