There is a type of project that will not only create a product, but will also cure all ills in an organization. “Get well projects” exist largely in fantasy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There is a type of project that some of us know as a “get well project.” Such are usually found in organizations that have major problems. The get well project will not only create a new product or service, but it will also cure all the major problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Got problems? Find a get well project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Easier said than done. This is largely because get well projects rarely exist in reality, but are the objects of fantasy and wishful thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Get well projects are easy to identify. They begin with a description of current problems in the organization. Such problems occur over time and can be traced to poor management. They end with a description of a new product or service that has nothing to do with the current problems. It is this dissociation that characterizes the project. Unrelated but major problems will go away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sorry. Doesn’t happen. Problems grow slowly. Solutions to such also occur slowly with time, patience, and diligence. That is a major appeal of the get well project: it wipes out all problems quickly and without effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hmmm, solving problems quickly and without effort. Yes, that is the stuff of fantasy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" by Dwayne Phillips There is a type of project that will not only create a product, but will also cure all ills in an organization. “Get well projects” exist largely in fantasy.
