		<description><![CDATA[In a consulting role for the past 12 years, I&#8217;ve worked with organizations from an outside perspective. Whether mentoring project teams in an academic environment, performing due diligence for a venture capital firm, or facilitating key team discussions, the value that I bring from the outside is something that is difficult to replace. Here&#8217;s my [...]]]></description>

All of these activities involve practice and drills intended to improve proficiency in fundamentals of each activity: dribbling and passing in soccer and basketball, scales and chord progressions in guitar, footwork drills and off-ice practice in [...]]]></description>

We are entirely convinced that we are correct as we use these beliefs to guide our way through life. It also seems that if we look back in time, whether that is 50 years ago, twenty years [...]]]></description>

Every pucilanimous creature that crawls on the earth or slinks through slimy seas has a brain. Back where I come from, [...]]]></description>

Certainly household chores can fall into that category, and around the office there are similar activities like month-end reporting that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Everyone has heard of that metaphor of a frog in a pot of water: put the little guy in hot water and he&#8217;ll jump right out, heat the water gradually and he&#8217;ll just hang out there. The gradual changes are too subtle for him to perceive them and do anything about it. This explains why [...]]]></description>

One thing that they all have in common is that many of the issues have to do with team dynamics, and the many ways in which [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In all kinds of projects, despite all the theory behind project management best-practices or &#8216;branded&#8217; methodologies or lifecycles, I would say that the majority of projects get done with more than a little &#8216;seat-of-the-pants&#8217; effort. In construction circles you will see &#8216;as built&#8217; notations on the drawings, in many projects you will see a lot [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was running a workshop on project management yesterday, and one of the first things I did (as usual) was to go around the room to ask what people were looking for in the session. One person volunteered that back on their project, they have a PMO that drives things, and what he wanted to [...]]]></description>

If we are trying to make life on our projects better, we certainly effect the behaviour of others, as well as their character. We can influence them. Understanding the basis of influence and working to sharpen our [...]]]></description>
