Frank Patrick's Focused Performance Business Blog
This Focused Performance Weblog started life as a "business management blog" containing links and commentary related primarily to organizational effectiveness with a "Theory of Constraints" perspective, but is in the process of evolving towards primary content on interactive and mobile marketing. Think of it as about Focusing marketing messages for enhanced Performance. If you are on an archive page, current postings are found here .

List-o-Links -- Don't have time for extended comments (barely had time to skim and bookmark for future careful reading), but here's a handful of links that I suspect might be of interest to those of you who read this thing of mine... The Future of Product Development , from the McKinsey Quarterly. A lean, constraint-focused, conversational future. Sounds a lot like Seagate's implementation of critical chain-based project management, via the rss feed of CNET News.com .
The Supply Side of Design and Development , from Strategy & Business. What to rely on suppliers to design for you, also via the rss feed of CNET News.com .
Agile Project Management: Creating Innovative Products , the start of a set of pdf chapter previews of a new book by Jim Highsmith.
The Threat of Pigeons and Other Fundamentalists , from Fast Company. I've talked a lot in this weblog about erroneous assumptions and invisible dogma that inhibit organizational performance. Seth Godin talks about the same things and calls them superstitions.
Knowledge Center for IT PM , from Hi-Impact Project & Portfolio Management , a growing collection of links and sources for various aspects of IT PM. I hope these hold you until the weekend.
