Article 2 of the 7-part series: Accelerating Growth In 2024 with Strategic Business Planning By: Scott Wright and Jack Bowen When we ask our clients why customers buy from them, much of the time, they either don’t know, or are completely off-base about the reason. In an uber-competitive marketplace and with so much at stake, this inability to define why people should buy your product or service can be a fatal misstep.

The employee scorecard was invented in the 1990s to solve a problem that most businesses struggle with – keeping employees engaged, motivated, happy, and productive in alignment with the company’s goals and mission and having a tangible way to measure employees’ progress.

It’s best to start any new project by fostering the right conflict mindset among team members. Productive conflict requires that all parties appreciate the competing demands and necessary trade-offs. But don’t expect stakeholders to show up with clarity about their position or empathy for the needs and demands of others. As a great project manager, you need to foster awareness, understanding, and respect for the different perspectives around the table.

I chuckled when I saw that memorable gummy bear commercial, featuring a board room filled with adult executives talking like toddlers about the chewy treats. Though achieving consensus-by-gummy-bear may work on television, we should be smart enough to know that the last place for petulant, child-like behavior is the C-suite. Yet I have seen my share of “Executive-Level Dysfunction” (ELD) in my years as a sales and marketing executive, and the results are predictable: Quagmires.

One of the biggest mistakes in project management is that simply telling someone to do something is enough for it to get done. In most cases, especially with longer and more complex projects, assigning work isn’t enough, explaining work isn’t enough, and even planning out work isn’t enough. Follow-up is the key to making sure the work actually gets done.

A new study finds that women are often cut off from the management pipeline early. The fix requires some data gathering and rethinking promotions. Good news first: There’s been some genuine traction in efforts to help women gain access to the C-suite.

Being happy at work isn’t just a win for employees; it’s also a win for employers. Research shows a causal link between happy workers and a 13% increase in productivity. On the flipside, unhappiness at work costs the world $7.8 trillion in lost productivity, equal to 11% of global GDP. But too many of us are disconnected, disengaged, and bored at work. 50% of the global workforce is quiet quitting and 18 percent are loud quitting – sharing openly that they are unhappy at work.
