Tom and I also talked about where other major companies such as Dell, Starbucks, Nike, Apple, Google, GM, IBM, Johnson &#038; Johnson, and Honda fall on that elusive spectra known as "Excellence".  By the way, if somehow you have not heard of Tom Peters:  Simply put, Tom Peters is the last of the still living and truly great 20th Century management thought leaders and, incidentally, is more relevant in today's business environment than ever before.]]></description>

Mail Okay, so I just got around to watching the debut of the new CBS reality show, Undercover Boss, which I recorded after the Superbowl on Sunday evening. I am really not a fan of reality shows, although I did watch the first season of The Apprentice back in 2004 since it had project managers competing to secure a single lucrative position of overseeing the building of Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago, Illinois. After watching the first few episodes of The Apprentice, I actually felt anxious.  I think that The Donald’s continual criticizing, interrupting, and “you’re fired” climaxes of each board room episode of The Apprentice struck a little too close to reality for me.  I have never been fired, but I have been in my share of meetings and board rooms where politics are at play, people’s defenses are bristling, and at times career paths are changed.  I have found that these corporate situations often have an appearance more like a scene from [...]]]></description>

Particular areas of expertise are online strategy, search engine optimisation, enterprise content management, project portfolio management and software development. Duncan shares his thoughts about project management, along with many other subject matter experts, through his website Project Smart It&#8217;s said there are no new project management sins, just old ones repeated. It&#8217;s also said that we don&#8217;t learn the lessons from past projects and this must be true, otherwise why would we keep making the same old mistakes.
