Equations behind successful change: I2 = M2

I2 = M2
If managers are Informed as they were always Informed,
managers will Manage in the way they always Managed
                             (Stefan van Aalst)                          


A good equation is usually simple and beautiful and is perfectly capable of explaining itself. This is definitely one of them.

Equations behind successful change: M2 = D2

M2 = D2
If people Do what people always Did,
you Get what you always Got
                             (Stefan van Aalst)

Project Portfolio Management

A lot has been written on Project Portfolio Management (PPM). However, I needed to piece things together to get a picture of why it is good to have PPM in place. This blog is sharing this picture.

Equations behind successful change: D2 = G2

D2 = G2
If people Do what people always Did,
you Get what you always Got
                             (anon)                          


A good equation is usually simple and beautiful and is perfectly capable of explaining itself. This is definitely one of them.

MIN = MAX-rule

MIN = MAX-rule
The MINimum that is required
is the MAXimum that we'll do
                        (Stefan van Aalst)                     

In the top 3 of reasons why projects fail or are less successful than they could have been, is scope creep / changes. The min=max-rule significantly reduces this cause for failure.
