Just like in the ‘real world,’ there are things you should and shouldn’t do in the virtual world – especially if you want to be respected and taken seriously. I call this ‘managing yourself smart,’ and here are some guidelines to help navigate social media. Operate with integrity. Just as you would in your office, […]

As an organization grows, so does its number of divisions, departments, and work groups. The subsequent dispersion of management responsibility and encapsulation of attention on distinct business functions can cause leaders to lose sight of all the initiatives being authorized across the organization. This unavoidable phenomenon increases the risk of project duplication and diversion of funds from relatively high value projects to less impactful ones. To avoid this risk requires informing management decisions with comparable, value-based data related to the entire body of organizational initiatives. When properly configured and governed, a centralized project registry services as an effective tool to provide managers with the information needed to eliminate redundant work and ensure appropriate resource allocation.

The extension of Bush-era tax breaks, healthcare reform and an increase in the rate of hiring in November suggests that the economy is gaining momentum. Unfortunately, few expect a change in the 9.6 percent unemployment rate. Yet despite this constant, many economists are optimistic about the Nation’s hiring forecast. Two pillars of the economy – […]

But as with face-to-face meetings, there are certain rules of etiquette that must be followed to achieve the desired outcome.

Projects optimally progress toward the achievement of their ultimate goals when team members individually and collectively contribute to the completion of project tasks in a non-redundant fashion. While project schedules should assign individuals or groups of individuals to each task, the schedule itself is not likely to include minute tasks or to clearly assign the very specific nuanced contribution of each individual within a group assigned to a task. Another tool, the roles and responsibilities matrix, provides the needed performance assignment clarity for those minute undocumented tasks and group activities; helping eliminate the risk of redundantly performed work that would unnecessarily slow progress and raise costs.

The first question salespeople ask themselves when they lose in a new business situation is, “Why did I lose?” Salespeople often ask prospects why they lost a deal, but they don’t typically get a straight answer. In fact, according to sales research data, the complete truth from prospects is shared only 40 percent of the […]
