Crucial Instructions To Ensure You Are Largely Ineffectual
- Just start doing stuff. You’ll get it right the first time so don’t worry about gathering and examining at any kind of success-data, nor setting any targets against them.
- On that note, your job is pretty much done once you’ve selected your solution. Just configure it and run some training.
- To ensure everyone does the new thing, make sure you mandate it.
- Managed to secure a huge project budget? – Make sure you put aside at least 70% of it for an army of consultants from the big firms. If you don’t have an average of 2 consultants for every 1 internal FTE on your project, you’re in trouble.
- It’s crucial that your executive board know how well the project is going – so ensure that your project reports get at least 1-3 full days of joint effort dedicated to them every week. Also – your project must never be anything but green.
- Ensure you start and sponsor lots of projects. Then use those projects to leave for greener pastures; if not before go-live, then before anyone looks at post-implementation.
- Paperwork & templates are god. Worship accordingly.
See you all next week.
