Looking for a few early adopters of a new staff feedback platform focused on helping improve project success.
Michael GabrielCEO| Quantum BarometerOld Greenwich, Ct, United States
The failure rate of projects and change management, whether technological, organizational or process, was 50-75% when I first started working in 1980. And, even with better tools, better training, and better frameworks for project management, that success rate remains UNCHANGED!
Why? Because while all of those improvements are great, it's all about the people - and always has been. Listening to them before you start the project to confirm the goals and approach, during the project, and then after implementation. Yet we still don't focus on what the people have to say, believing they will gripe about any change - which is true - but that gripping also often tells us what we should be paying attention to and addressing.
The Quantum Barometer combines a structured approach of Goals you define per initiative, with an ability for all involved to provide real-time continuous feedback, including spot notifications for great performance as well as improvement opportunities, so that you can see both the positive and negative before it's reflected in your project tracking systems. Correct problems early and quickly, before they become engrained and far more costly.
Looking for some early adopters who champion staff feedback as a solution, not a problem. Saving Changes...

Joanna, That's great! The next step would be to have a brief chat over phone or video to discuss the platform and your potential usage as an early adopter to make sure we have a good fit.
If you have time tomorrow afternoon or Tuesday morning that would be great, otherwise let's look at the week of the 15th.
My best, Mike

Although I'm not applying to be an early adopter, I want to applaud you for taking the route of the human factor (it's all about people). I propagate that approach for decades now and I even came up with a people-centered approach to leadership, my signature Pragmatic Leadership Formula. Good luck with your platform project.

Hi Joanna - I hope things have cleared up a bit for you. I will actually be in Boston next week on Monday for a "Lead Change" Association for Talent Development (ATD) all day conference on Monday, and staying over in Boston.
Are you available for a meeting Tuesday morning, or a chat that day or later in the week?
My best, Mike

good discussion...re this "that success rate remains UNCHANGED! " not sure I buy that...do you have any research or metrics to support that ?
Obtaining exact specifics is impossible, as what defines success, and who is willing to admit failure, is always an issue. But the articles over the years, from even when I started working in 1980, all have comparable statistics. Of course, many projects don't even define their KPIs - which is a whole other issue - but I contend that while technology and process does matter, it's all about the people dynamics. A team with good dynamics can usually accomplish miraculous things - whereas if the people dynamics are poor (and there are many causes), and you can gauge that pretty quickly, even simple projects become impossible to achieve if actions aren't taken.
