I know there are plenty of things on the list of possible strategies for our business, and you might be thinking I am suggesting adding a new one. But for now, I am not (necessarily) suggesting an “AI Strategy” to compete with your Marketing Strategy, Supply Chain Strategy, or Go-to-Market Strategy. Instead, I am asking

Others, what we’ll call our limiting beliefs, aren’t so wonderful. It is those limiting beliefs I want to help you think about now. Before we get to the list though, I want
Today, I want to talk about a crucial aspect of project management that often goes overlooked—the learning look back. In this blog post, we’ll explore why the learning look back is essential, how it benefits both individuals and teams, and how it can propel your future projects to new heights.
