Implementing Change

For most ideas, no real value is added until something is implemented. In fact, most projects are designed so that it is not until the project is 100% complete that any value is added. Let me explain that...

Consider a project to build a road that connects five citites that are sitiuated in a row. If the road is complete between two cities, then people can start to use that stretch - even though the total project is not complete.

Now consider a project to build a bridge to connect two cities across a river from one another. Until the bridge is complete, no traffic can start moving.

If your project is like most, it works more like the bridge than the road; that is, until you are 100% complete, no real value is added. What about all those projects that are discontinued? Well, if they add any value at all, it would could probably be labeled as "entertainment!"

Since so few initiatives are ever implemented successfully, ideas are cheap and easy; it is implemented ideas that are rare and valuable. And it is the ability to get things implemented that distinguish effective managers from rest of the crowd.
