My latest Project Management video ...

Staff complains that management “doesn’t get it”. They don’t understand how much work there is to do, and how long it takes to get it done. Yet the work keeps on piling. Management complains that staff “don’t see the bigger picture”. They are focused on their tasks, but don’t understand how it relates to the rest of the organization.

We have experience in product development, electric utility, construction, finance compliance, business process design, building code, fire code, real estate development and real estate brokerage compliance.

INSIGHT
The overall success of a project is measured by how much it contributes to the profitability of an organization. However, if multiple departments are participating in a project, individual success metrics need to be aligned to achieve the common goal.

For example, if Sales is measured by Revenue, and Manufacturing is measured by cost control, and Project Management is measured by profitability … projects are likely to fail, and the culture of the organization is likely to be toxic.
