  1. Your customers have changed - physically. With mergers, take-overs and buy outs many are no longer in business or at least not in the same business.
  2. Your customers have changed - mentally. The mind set is very different. The “recession” thinking has companies cutting back and reducing their workforce. Your product positioning has to change.

  3. Your customers have changed organizationally. They do business in very different ways with the new technologies.

  4. Your competitors have changed – physically. Just like your customers they may have been subject to major changes. Many organizations are in disarray after the cost cutting mergers or buy outs. Opportunity!!!!

  5. Your competitors have changed – strategically. Our findings indicate that many have no strategic plan. Therefore your plan can have dramatic impact.

  6. You may have changed. You are smaller, leaner, more focused. How can you capitalize on the increased speed that it brings?

  7. Your channels have changed. The dot coms brought many new ideas. The goods ones stuck.

  8. Your opportunities have changed. Companies that are ready can really capitalize on the upswing that is certainly going to happen as the economy improves.

  9. Your available talent pool has changed. Many top quality people are available and loyalty has taken another knock. Trade up and get the right people.

  10. Your outsourcing opportunities have changed. Successful companies outsource all but their core competencies.

Consultants are available to help you create a new plan. Get a good one.

I want to share here this really good article posted in Project Times about ensuring project success. You might have already heard a lot of half finished projects or might have encountered one, ensuring success for every project is critical.

Be inspired with this post entitled, ‘Innovation is a Must for Project Success’.

Lisa Anderson, writer of ‘Innovation is a Must for Project Success’, talks about culture of innovation as the key for project success. She have also shared the basic ways to implement culture of innovation:

So, instead of following this path to work hard yet leave many half-finished projects hanging around, we need to create and implement a culture of innovation. How do we go about doing that? There are three basic ways: 1) Focus on the customer. 2) Value your project team members’ input. 3) Support trials & failure 4) Encourage flexibility
