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.
Tolerance is a technical term. In the world of engineering, tolerances are integral components of the designs of our products. To eliminate the tolerances from a product's drawings would be to destroy valuable information regarding the design of that product. Such a boneheaded move would expose a company to the loss of tens of millions of dollars.
Similarly, tolerances are integral components of the designs of our projects. To eliminate the tolerances from a project's model is to destroy valuable information regarding the design of the project. This boneheaded move regularly does expose companies to the loss of tens of millions of dollars. It must stop.
We must be the ones to stop it. Rather than allowing ourselves to be browbeaten into using erroneous, deterministic models of projects, we must accept our own fiduciary responsibility. We must do first and foremost that which is right.
A buffer by any other name...
