Cyber Monday: Tech Flops and Turkeys at Work (the Theme Song)

Posted by Jeannette Cabanis-Brewin in Culture & Change Management, Project & Program Management, Human Capital | 0 Comments

Since today is the relatively new "holiday" Cyber Monday (on which I for one will be buying exactly nothing, techno or otherwise), I thought it might be fun to check out a few technology topics that might be of interest to project managers. Here's a rundown:From TechRepublic's aptly named "Sanity Check" feature:… Read More »

Re-Establishing Trust with Great Project Management

Posted by Jeannette Cabanis-Brewin in Culture & Change Management, Project Management Office (PMO) | 2 Comments

Over the past decade, it has become increasingly common to hear business problems attributed to "a lack of trust." Trust between brand and consumer; between financial institutions and investors or depositors; between labor and management.

Summertime ... and the Leavin' Is Easy

Posted by Jeannette Cabanis-Brewin in Culture & Change Management | 1 Comment

Recently, the HR director at our company shared a thought she had gleaned from one of her HR colleagues on the topic of exit interviews. Why, she asked, do we only do exit interviews? Instead of focusing on why people leave, why not ask the employees who stick around what keeps them engaged with our… Read More »

Ah, the Bad Old Days ...

Posted by Jeannette Cabanis-Brewin in Culture & Change Management, Project Management Office (PMO), Site News | 1 Comment

We've just finished prepping the Second Edition of Kent's award-winning book, The Strategic Project Office, for press. (Look for it to be available this October.) The first edition came out in 2001, but was mostly written and edited in 2000, and it was a big job to incorporate the changes that have taken place over… Read More »

Looking Back at Some Winning PMOs

Posted by Jeannette Cabanis-Brewin in Culture & Change Management, Project Management Office (PMO), Resource Optimization | 0 Comments

Since today kicks off the 2010 PMO of the Year Award application period (see the contest information, and download application materials here), and since I've been writing a series about roles in the PMO, it seems a good time to review the previous winners of the award, and see what they have in common with… Read More »

How Are We Doing?

Posted by Jeannette Cabanis-Brewin in Culture & Change Management, Project & Program Management, Governance, Performance Measurement, Project Management Office (PMO), Strategy Execution | 0 Comments

Around here, we believe in baselining ... otherwise, you can't tell if you are making any progress. The start of a new year seems an appropriate time to look around at the business environment, as well as our internal organizational environment, and make a few resolutions based on a clear-eyed view of present circumstances.Looking… Read More »

PM Training: Not "One Size Fits All"

Posted by Jeannette Cabanis-Brewin in Culture & Change Management, Project & Program Management | 2 Comments

Whether you call it The Vanishing Mass Market (as Business Week has done), or The Long Tail, (as Wired blogger Chris Anderson terms it) or Nouveau Niche, it's obvious that the way we interact with the marketplace has changed. Consumers want what they want, not some lowest-common-denominator, one-size-fits-all product. That's why we have 100… Read More »
