Strategic Framing

I have not updated this page in quite a while.  Thanksfully, that has been because of some challenging projects.

During the first week in May, I will be co-teaching a class at the 2010 GSA Expo in Orlando.  Feel free to drop by and say hi.  I will also be answering questions at the Booze Allen Hamilton booth on Wednesday from 10-12 and 2-4.

Change Management-A Discipline Crucial to Implementation Success

3. Create an engagement strategy
4. Identify trigger events
5. Plan to be wrong
