Beyond Problems - why the fire-fighter is not the most appropriate model for business leadership success
Jul-16-2008
In a demand-driven world, the fire-fighter is the pinnacle of virtue. They are asked to address critical issues through the extraordinary application of their efforts. The only problem with this mind set is that the tyranny of the urgent will continue to outweigh the benefits of applying resources to longer term issues of building strategic capability and capacity. What should an organization do?
Mind the Gap - In Troubled Times filling the space between Choking and Panicking
Jun-29-2008
The news today is filled with tales of woe. Global fuel prices are increasing at a phenomenal rate. Access to basic necessities such as water, food and shelter is being impacted by a more chaotic and changing climate. The global economies are suffering from the after effects of an economic downturn, the result of the United States subprime mortgage debacle and its investment banks Structured Investment Vehicle follies. All in all, the world seems very much in turmoil. In troubled times, clarity of thought helps you aim for the gap between choking and panic to use data in a way that helps you do what you need to survive and thrive.

KT Shutdown Services Meet Growing Demand
Jun-27-2008
Among the Kepner-Tregoe services experiencing growing demand is our support for shutdowns, turnarounds and outages. KT's focused planning and implementation programs have a huge impact on the success of the planned activities that are accomplished during a limited timeframe, and they reduce the risk of substantial cost and time overruns. This summer Rio Tinto made a presentation about their shutdown work with KT at the Shutdowns, Turnarounds, and Outages Conference in Indianapolis where KT also hosted an Expo booth. KT Asia-Pacific is sponsoring a breakfast meeting on this topic in Sydney in July; and a live, global webcast on Shutdown Excellence will be scheduled later this summer.

Big Decisions Demand Process Rigor - on Vice Presidential selection and Decision Analysis
Jun-06-2008
Only 18 months and the primary election cycle in the United States has (finally) ground to a halt. The victors, or almost victors, are steeling themselves for the general election process and one of their first critical decisions as their party’s representative for election to the highest office in the land – the selection of a running mate. For those of you who know KT, these are the beginning of a more robust set of objectives in what should be a comprehensive Decision Analysis.
KT Chief Innovation Officer, Drew Marshall, at Day 3 (May 21st) of the PMI EMEA Congress in Malta
May-21-2008
KT's Chief Innovation Officer, Drew Marshall, is attending and presenting at the Project Management Insitute's EMEA (Europe, Middle East & Africa) Congress this week in St Julians, Malta. May 18-21.
The final day at the PMI EMEA Congress ended well. Today, the range of subjects covered was almost as broad as the project management profession is applicable. To start, though, I led the day off with a presentation titled, "Filling the Baby Boomer Vacuum." The interesting fact of the presentation was that many in the audience had little understanding of the extent of this generational transformation taking place in around them in the organization in which they work.

New Tools from the Tregoe Education Forum
Feb-07-2008
Since 1993, when Ben Tregoe founded the Tregoe Education Forum (www.tregoe.org), the Forum has worked to enhance collaborative problem-solving skills in schools and students. Central to its mission is its belief in the value of equipping young people with rational process in order to better meet life's challenges. To that end, the Forum has announced the launch of www.yourtake.org, a dynamic new problem-solving site for teenagers and educators. School subscribers to the site will have access to a variety of resources including SCAN, an innovative online tool for the classroom that draws on Situation Appraisal to help teens collaboratively examine complex issues and develop their own take on them.
As a member of the KT community, you are invited to donate a free subscription to your local school or any school in the US or Canada. A subscription is normally $299/year. It allows schools full access to the site and the opportunity to use its online resources with as many students as they like.
