My fellow blogger at www.pimpyourwork.com is hosting a New Year&#8217;s Resolution Contest. It inspired me to come up with a few for firms wanting to improve strategy execution and innovation:
1. Take a project inventory.
2. Align projects with strategies.
3. Set up a PMO-like organization.
4. Learn about Theory of Constraints.
5. Adopt a value (vs. cost) orientation.
6. Research innovations outside your company and industry.
Subscribe to my blog for more on these topics. Begin your transformation journey today. Tremendous benefits are in store.
