For My Readers...




I'm Not Jealous Of Alec Baldwin. I'm Just Jealous Of His HAIR.

Friends, Colleagues, Clients, Readers And The Occasional Paper Clip Thief:

I should be back to my usual pattern of obsessive blogging on too many subjects by August 8th, and I thank you so kindly for your patience while I'm rapidly on the mend.

In the meantime, would you please do me a great kindness and 1) visit my new blog at http://douglasecastleblog.com, and then 2) follow me (please...this only takes a quick moment) on my brand-new Twitter account at http://twitter.com/DECastleAdvisor?

Thank you, and I'm hoping that you've missed me.

Until then, please be healthy, safe, of good spirits and prosperous -- or on your way to prosperity.

Faithfully,

Douglas

p.s. Kindly look at the image below. When I've looked at it (in a darkened room) for more than a minute or two, I have found that simultaneous with my body relaxing, my mind starts to wander in a fascinating way. I recommend it. It's wonderful, easy meditation, and you don't need any dangerous drugs. Seemingly silly exercises like this one have made my "comeback" much quicker. You can click on the image to see it at its full size, which is considerably larger.





The fascinating shape is actually an impossible recursive pattern wrapped around a doughnut-like shape called a toroid. Really. Look it up if you like.

When Projects Become Unmanageable: Part 2

Image
Projects can, and frequently do, become unmanageable. There are a number of reasons for this, as discussed previously. The key is to understand these reasons, to anticipate their possibilities (or probabilities) of occurrence, and to take appropriate measures, during the earliest stages of the defining of the project scope and the construction of a plan to achieve the project's target objectives to both : 1 ) implement measures [right at the outset] to prevent them from happening, and 2 ) allow for adverse contingencies (such as delays, budget issues and any departure (i.e., variance) from the "trajectory" of the plan in the initial client expectation management process . Both of these are crucial to avoiding unmanageable projects and dissatisfied clients. Each plays a role. In quick retrospect, some of the central reasons projects become unmanageable (as discussed in Part 1) included: Project Scope Creep ; Individual Scope Creep ; Poor communications, monitoring and

Austerity Never Works; But Cost Containment Does. Know The Difference.

Image
We recently discussed the notion of Breakeven Analysis, and actions of increasing contribution margin (price less variable costs ) per unit; increasing the number of units sold, and trying to reduce fixed costs (our minimum hurdle) without injuring the profit-producing mechanism. Nonproductive fixed costs are purely wasteful and they accumulate in the business budget like dust over time. Productive fixed costs (those costs which are in some form or fashion related to or necessary to the production of revenues and/or the production of the business' product or service have to be separated from non-productive fixed costs. If we try to eliminate a productive fixed cost, we will damage our business - perhaps irreversibly. If we take the time to cull out all of those non-productive business costs, we will reduce our breakeven point and increase our potential possibility. Cost containment is the key to success at this surgical trimming. It begins with evaluating a proposed expendit
