The 8 Secrets To WOW Projects…

Monday 1 April 2024

1. Projects are complex thingies, so ensure your project proposal reflects that

2. To get it approved promise massive financial benefits

3. Have at least two co-owners – it splits the workload, which is only fair

4. Focus on process not outcomes – “It’s not the destination, it’s the journey”

Ralph Waldo Emerson – and he should know, as he was a philosopher

5. Use Prince 2 – it got the pyramids built in no time

6. If there are any delays, say you are not getting co-operation from other departments

7. If it fails, say it succeeded, and when you are asked about the promised financial benefits, say that processes are more streamlined, people are happier and customers love what you have done – you will likely get promoted

8. And as 8 stands for infinity – for your next project, return to 1

With my love and best wishes to you all
