As the executive sponsor or key stakeholder of large initiatives within your company, you'll have major concerns about such things as budget, timeline, user impact, quality, and sustainability. You'll often have teams that are already stretched and can't adequately manage or perform critical tasks in a manner that is best for the business. You may have matrixed resources who have competing priorities. You have more than likely encountered customers who challenge scope boundaries. Maybe you want to explore virtualizing part of your workforce but aren't sure how to manage remote teams. Or perhaps you want to consider alternative business models such as off-shoring or near-shoring but don't know where to start. You'll also know that solid proposals - compelling and competitively priced - are critical to existence, but resources are not readily available. Resource- balancing between mission-critical customer work and new business support is a constant theme at meetings.
