Episode notes
Projects Are Bets On The Future
- Projects are bets on your organisation's future and should be chosen sparingly and with care.
- Fewer, simpler and more purposeful projects deliver more meaningful change than many small initiatives.
Simplify And Measure Benefits
- Simplify project management and focus only on what matters rather than heavy documents and forms.
- Prioritise measurable benefits over being merely on time and on budget when judging success.
Teams, Not Groups, Deliver
- Groups don't deliver projects; teams do, yet most initiatives start as loose groups.
- Investing time to build a real team and shared culture dramatically improves commitment and pride.
