Knowing you
Robert Heinlein
'Progress isn't made by early risers. It's made by
lazy men trying to find easier ways to do
something.'
The science of laziness
The Pareto principle was
suggested by
management thinker
Joseph M. Juran; it was
named after the Italian
economist Vilfredo Pareto,
who observed that 80% of
property in Italy was
owned by 20% of the
Italian population.
The intelligence of laziness
Helmuth
Karl
Bernhard
Graf von
Moltke
The focus of laziness
Theory by Miss Anne Elk:
'All brontosauruses are thin at one end, much, much thicker in the
middle, and then thin again at the far end. That is the theory that I
have and which is mine, and what it is too.'
The focus of laziness
Theory by The Lazy Project Manager
'All projects are thick at one end, much, much thinner in the
middle and then thick again at the far end. That is the theory that I
have and which is mine, and what it is too.'
Thick at the start...
‘A bad beginning makes a bad ending’ Euripides
? Ahead of the Game
? Manage the Sponsor
? Manage the Creep
? Communication Breakdown
Much, much thinner...
‘A whole is that which has beginning, middle and end’ Aristotle
? All in a Fun Day’s Work
? Breathing Normally
? A lot of ‘Love’ in the Room
? The lights are on (but no-one’s at home)
Breathe Normally
Breathe Normally
In the event of an emergency, an
oxygen mask will drop in front of
you from the panel above. Place
the mask over your mouth and
nose, straighten out the strap, and
pull the strap to be sure it is tight
on your face. After you are wearing
it securely, a tug on the hose will
start the oxygen flow. It makes
sense to put your own mask on
first, before helping others.
Breathe normally…
The art of ‘breathing normally’
? Stay calm in a crisis
? Plan for the crisis
? Breathe normally
? Filter, filter, filter
? Delegate, delegate, delegate
? Prioritise, prioritise, prioritise
Thick again at the far end...
‘The world is round and the place which may seem like the end may also
be only the beginning.’ Ivy Baker Priest
? The Missing Link
Donald Rumsfeld said...
Donald Rumsfeld said...
‘As we know, there are known knowns
There are things we know we know
We also know there are known unknowns
That is to say we know there are some things we do
not know
But there are also unknown unknowns
The ones we don't know we don't know’
Insanity
Definition of Insanity
“Insanity means doing the same thing
you did in the past … but expecting
different results”
Based on Norman L Kerth’s book – Retrospectives
The Project Retrospective
Regardless of what we discover, we understand and truly
believe that everyone did the best job they could, given
what they knew at the time, their skills and abilities, the
resources available, and the situation at hand.
? Ask the 5 Key Questions
> What worked well that we don’t want to forget?
> What should we do differently next time?
> What still puzzles us?
> What do we need to discuss in greater detail?
> What did we learn?
