BOSTON & NEW CANAAN, Conn. (Business Wire EON) February 27, 2008 --
McCreight & Company,
in conjunction with Cambria
Consulting has released their guide to successful project management
focused on creating customer value in new, difficult, or untested
situations. “Breakthrough Development: A
Concept and Process,” is chapter 18 of
McCreight’s publication series, Strategy
Implementation Insights, and is available as a free download from www.implementstrategy.com
or www.cambriaconsulting.com.
“Whether inventing something new, combining
existing elements in a new way, or overcoming operational barriers,
organizations competing in today’s global
economy must have the right people, processes, and tools to achieve
breakthrough developments to outpace competitors,”
said John McCreight, Chairman of McCreight & Company.
“We’ve worked with
many sophisticated and talented clients, who are well-versed in the
science and methodology of project management, innovation, and
high-performing teams,” continued McCreight. “Yet,
their projects can be unsuccessful in delivering customer value in a
timely or financially feasible way. Over decades of partnering with
these clients – usually following a program
that has failed to achieve expected value –
we have identified a broad range of actions and competencies that can
improve the chances for breakthrough success.”
Steve Neubert, partner and co-leader of Cambria’s
Consulting practice, added, “While we believe
the blueprint for breakthrough performance is unique to each
organization, we can group actions and competencies into seven guiding
principles for breakthrough development success.”
Neubert continued, “None of the elements of
our Breakthrough Development Model are new. However, taken together the
elements focus on a new way to assemble the puzzle pieces and to behave
differently in the launch and management of breakthrough initiatives.”
“By definition, delivering a breakthrough is
delivering something that has never been done before. Therefore,
breakthrough development initiatives should not be considered a training
appointment for fledgling team members.”
McCreight pointed out.
McCreight added, “Because of the
nontraditional freedom and charter to act quickly, not everyone can be
successful in a breakthrough development environment. When constituting
a team, senior leaders need to deliberately define competency
requirements for the challenges presented by the breakthrough.”
The Breakthrough Development Model will be described in detail in a book
to be released this summer.
