How to Lead Change Successfully - Apr 19, 2008 - 3:47:25 PM
Almost every manager I know struggles at some point with managing change. This can be for many reasons, but foremost among them is the degree to which people 'buy in' to the proposed changes. So why do some people resist change, while others thrive on it?
Some key answers I believe can be found stemming from the grounbreaking work of Prof. Albert Bandura, of Stanford University, who is renowned for his work on Social Cognitive Theory and in particular what he has to say about the power of Self-Efficacy Beliefs.

The Balanced Scorecard: Overcoming the Challenges to Implementation - Feb 18, 2007 - 8:13:25 AM
Developing and implementing strategy is a messy affair.

The Balanced Scorecard in Government - Feb 11, 2007 - 5:35:07 PM
The story so far...
Ever since the early nineties when Kaplan and Norton introduced the concept of the Balanced Scorecard, organizations have been quick to adapt the approach. Originally designed with the private sector in mind, where as a result of the work of such powerful leaders as Deming, Crosby, Juran and Senge, cause and effect or systems thinking took hold and paved the way for such thinking at the strategic level, the scorecard promises once and for all to lay the ghost of 'management by results', (in favor of 'management for results'), and abolish 'command and control' styles of management.
