  1. Your customers have changed - physically. With mergers, take-overs and buy outs many are no longer in business or at least not in the same business.
  2. Your customers have changed - mentally. The mind set is very different. The “recession” thinking has companies cutting back and reducing their workforce. Your product positioning has to change.

  3. Your customers have changed organizationally. They do business in very different ways with the new technologies.

  4. Your competitors have changed – physically. Just like your customers they may have been subject to major changes. Many organizations are in disarray after the cost cutting mergers or buy outs. Opportunity!!!!

  5. Your competitors have changed – strategically. Our findings indicate that many have no strategic plan. Therefore your plan can have dramatic impact.

  6. You may have changed. You are smaller, leaner, more focused. How can you capitalize on the increased speed that it brings?

  7. Your channels have changed. The dot coms brought many new ideas. The goods ones stuck.

  8. Your opportunities have changed. Companies that are ready can really capitalize on the upswing that is certainly going to happen as the economy improves.

  9. Your available talent pool has changed. Many top quality people are available and loyalty has taken another knock. Trade up and get the right people.

  10. Your outsourcing opportunities have changed. Successful companies outsource all but their core competencies.

Consultants are available to help you create a new plan. Get a good one.

Success is what all project managers are after. In the first place all projects are designed for success but why is there still unfinished projects?

I would like to share this wonderful article written by Lisa Anderson entitled, “Innovation is a Must for Project Success”.


We must find a way for execution and innovation to live hand-in-hand in business, from the executive suites to the shift workers on the production floor. Certainly one possibility is to embrace the lean culture; however, I find there is almost more confusion than clarity among organizations in how to ensure all these “great” concepts yield results. Instead, think of innovation as deeply rooted in your culture. It is not complex or confusing. Innovation must start as culture change.


Read her post in Project Times website to also check the 4 basic ways on implementing culture of innovation.
