Project Management Resources
Professional success means delivering on ever-rising expectations and demands.
At Vision, our Mission is to exceed expectations. And our mantra: What’s possible… delivered!
We are dedicated to strengthening our clients, our consultants, and our own internal team. Most of the time, this means managing projects to a successful conclusion. It means understanding the principles and best practices of execution – the place where strategy and tactics intersect, and the life-blood of line managers.
In their bestseller The Discipline of Getting Things Done, Larry Bossidy and Ram Charan focus on three “building blocks:”
I. The leader’s seven essential behaviors:
- Know your people and your business;
- Insist on realism;
- Set clear goals and priorities;
- Follow through;
- Reward doers;
- Expand people’s capabilities; and
- Know yourself.
II. Creating a culture of execution
III. The right people in the right place
For years, Vision has been serving its clients consistent with these seven leadership behaviors. Today, we’re dedicating the capacity and resources to strengthen this culture among every Vision consultant through professional development and, in time, this Web site. Of course, getting the right people in the right place has always been at the very heart of our business and our value to our clients and our consultants.
Traditionally, execution meant efficiency: crisp, consistent, competent performance. Yet if we expect IT professionals to solve new, unanticipated challenges – day after day after day – then execution also entails learning and continuous improvement. This means going beyond ensuring that your process is carried out. It means helping it evolve through structured, data-driven collaboration.
All this is as true for our own methods of matching Vision talent to the IT needs of leading companies, as it is of our consultants’ approach to their collaboration on every IT project.
In fact, execution is what we do. It’s what our consultants help our clients do. It’s also a challenge and a priority on the lips of virtually everyone leading a business or a team.
We invite you to return to this page – or contribute – as we gather resources of value to IT project leaders, hiring managers, and everyone else striving to deliver what’s possible.
