Executive's Guide to Project Management: Organizational Processes and Practices for Supporting Complex Projects

Organizational Culture and Velocity

The familiar nursery rhyme “Jack be nimble, Jack be quick” was never more appropriate to the business world as it is today.

If you can't quickly do something that needs to be done to protect or enhance your market position, there is an existing or new competitor out there who will. So you have to cultivate a culture of quick change response!
