The Problem Of Fragmentation

PFR Interim Management Services Posted on July 23, 2002 by Peter FransMay 18, 2023

Developing Innovative Organizations

PFR Interim Management Services Posted on July 23, 2001 by Peter FransApril 1, 2023

Innovation rarely, if ever, just happens. It requires imagination, coordination and a sense of purpose. Sad to say, a great many boardrooms lack some or all of those qualities. So it’s not that surprising that some companies find it hard to innovate. Before we look at how you – as chief executive or as an ordinary manager – can create an environment where innovation will flourish, we should first demolish several common and highly pervasive myths. First Myth The first … Continue reading →

A dour Englishman was seated on a train between two ladies arguing about the window. One claimed that she would die of heatstroke if it stayed closed. The other said she would expire of pneumonia if it was opened. The ladies called the conductor, who didn’t know how to resolve the conflict. Finally, the gentleman spoke up. “First, open the window.
