Overview: When organizations and their executives finally tire of funding dozens or hundreds of projects that never deliver, they begin to seek projects and project managers whose efforts reach into and affect the outside world. But the question is, how do we stimulate them? How do we weed out the weak and identify the sleek, highly focused project? We must insist that project managers and sponsors engage in the conceptual thinking required to plan projects from the end result they will achieve. This is a great deal more difficult than planning the activities we will include in the project. Only then can we properly marshal the cross-functional resources we required to actually have our project change performance in the outside world. Only with a measured result as the focus of our project, can we subdivide this measure of success into clear assignments for which we can hold members of the project team accountable.
