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.

A Real Olympic Stadium Project -- I often use the phrase "Olympic stadium project" as shorthand for a project that has a lot riding on a specific completion date (as opposed to an "oil well project" whose value is subject to asap completion). I just got an email asking for comment on a real Olympic Stadium project...
"But the major worry is another day will be lost on Wednesday [due to a general strike in Greece] in the race to finish building before the Games open in Athens on 13 August [...] It is now predicted, for example, that the main stadium will not be completed until 20 July."
I hesitate to wade in on the subject without more intimate knowledge, but given the history of delays and overruns, a three-week buffer against three months of projected remaining work that requires round-the-clock attention is worth watching carefully.
