The secret about innovation secrets « Scott Berkun "This is good advice. But it’s advice few want to hear. What he describes is work. At least it looks and smells like work.

Everything is a project, even this « Scott Berkun "I wrote awhile ago about why project managers get no respect, and that’s because people who make a big deal out of the project-manageryness of their work, as opposed to the domain of the things they make (homes, software, films, cookies) come off as a kind of weenie, a pm-weenie if you will. They appear to be people who are more interested in schedules, budgets and methods than the results those tools help achieve, which is kind of weird.
