Up until now, when thinking about risks, I defaulted to the risks in the project pyramid. That's because each project offers different value over the product's lifetime. (See Product Roles, Part 4: Product Orientation and the Role of Projects for images of why we want ever-increasing product value, but why we might space the projects out.) If we understand our boundaries and constraints, we can trade off the various risks in the project.

Knowledge retention and skill development are typically goals when organizations design training programs. Keeping employees engaged through the coursework is essential to achieving those objectives. Without engagement, it’s easy for learners to functionally tune out, reducing how much information they’ll recall later. Fortunately, it’s possible to boost employment by harnessing the power of gamification.

The world needs leaders that aspire to create a better tomorrow. Just as no one is perfect, no organization is perfect, and no organizational culture is perfect. Organizations, like all other natural systems, over time, head toward a state of randomness. Stated another way, if leaders are not continually investing in making organizations better, the organization will constantly decline.

Just because we're working with a distributed team doesn't mean we have to abandon time-tested tools and methods like whiteboarding. Digital look-alikes often cramp creativity and all but eliminate the humanity of shared interactions. Hardware solutions are also limiting and, of course, expensive and immobile. In an increasingly digital and remote-first world, it’s important for us to select tools and processes that allow us to mitigate if not eliminate the above problems.

I find it really hard to say no to colleagues’ requests – never mind my manager – and I feel like I’m drowning at times. Help! Ah, yes – you’re not alone. One of the biggest challenges participants talk about on our management training courses is ‘I just don’t know how to say no.’ Like many people, it sounds as though you want to be a team player and so end up saying yes to every request that comes your way – whatever your own pressing priorities.

Many nonfiction writers start books with outlines. I'm not big on outlines because they shortcut the writer's thinking. ( Nonfiction writers think and learn as they write.) However, some writers go off on tangents without outlines. Or, some writers (raises hand) are prone to put everything she ever learned about this topic into one book. Either of those problems make it difficult to finish a book before the writer dies.

There are generally two main approaches to solving problems in consulting, namely the: Investigative / data-based approach, and Hypothesis-based approach. The investigative approach is appropriate when the opportunity is well-defined, repetitive, and standardized, or where the solution is clear from the beginning. Progress is made by employing technical and subject matter expertise to drive towards the solution.

Machine learning has an “AI” problem. With new breathtaking capabilities from generative AI released every several months — and AI hype escalating at an even higher rate — it’s high time we differentiate most of today’s practical ML projects from those research advances. This begins by correctly naming such projects: Call them “ML,” not “AI.” Including all ML initiatives under the “AI” umbrella oversells and misleads, contributing to a high failure rate for ML business deployments.

LinkedIn is an often overlooked part of the management consulting application. A candidate might spend hours on their resume and cover letter but put little thought into their LinkedIn profile other than a profile picture and a cheesy blurb in the “about” section. LinkedIn is actually a key part of the management consulting application. Although it may be less important than a resume, it is a crucial way to sell yourself as a qualified candidate.
