Getting Projects Creatively Underway

The key ingredients of relax control are one clearly defined outcomes projects and the next actions required to move them toward closure. This is what i call horizontal focus. Sometimes, however, you may need greater rigor and focus to get a project or situation under control. Knowing how to think productively in this more vertical way is the second powerful behavior set needed for knowledge work. The greatest need i've seen in project thinking in the professional world is not for more formal models. Instead, ive found the biggest gap to be the lack of a project focusing model.
