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.

Tom Peters at PMI -- Tom Peters is presenting at the Denver chapter of PMI this week. His slides are available online (in PowerPoint downloads) from his blog. A couple quotes in them stand out...
"A focus on cost-cutting and efficiency has helped many organizations weather the downturn, but this approach will ultimately render them obsolete. Only the constant pursuit of innovation can ensure long-term success." -- Daniel Muzyka, Dean, Sauder School of Business, Univ of British Columbia (Financial Times/09.17.04)
"To grow, companies need to break out of a vicious cycle of competitive benchmarking and imitation." -- W. Chan Kim & René Mauborgne, "Think for Yourself — Stop Copying a Rival," (Financial Times/08.11.03)
Sound familiar?
A lot of the slides are probably pretty cryptic without Peters' usual bombast presentation, but there are more interesting bits to be found in them. I've got to look into his Project 50 a little closer.
