Business (Not) As Usual

Stakeholder management and organizational politics...two topics near and dear to both our hearts. In this episode, Vince and Mike explore the management of project stakeholders...the good and the not so good.

As the title would suggest, this episode covers a lot of ground. In this special cross-over edition, we catch the livestream of Vince's Analysts After Work, with a familiar guest, and also, Gregg Brown, who is a leader in change and the future of work.

Huh?! What's a high level deep dive? Find out in this very tactical episode, where Vince and Mike break down how to manage business processes, from defining the hierarchy, to building in controls, and everything in between.

In this episode, Vince and Mike explore the proverbial chasing of the tail, when your transformation seems to be constantly adjusting to the whims of leadership, to grow scope, but somehow without impacting budget and timelines. Also, the flipside, where you become so rigid, you fail to pivot when required. And btw, the original name of this episode was I've Got a Plan, so Rot...

How can leaders push the proverbial envelop, and get comfortable in extending beyond pre-defined boundaries, and challenging their existing way of working, even if it means failing in transformational efforts?

In this episode, we'll explore the question of how to align business processes and channel management, from the strategic to the tactical perspective.

There's an old song that says, you gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em...well, in this episode, we'll explore the latter part...when to fold, and when to run...and when NOT to.

What is a portal, and why does everyone think they need one for a business transformation?

What a ride (and don't worry, it's not over yet)

Let's explore the evolution of the show, and it's hosts, through the first 50 episodes of the show.

Sometimes, in an effort to do things right, and get back to the right things, you need to peel away the complexity that plagues many transformation programs. Or, simply said, you need to get back to basics.
