Is It Time to Renovate or Rebuild?

Renovate or rebuild? Let’s look at a timeline for any application. This may seem like a broad generalization, but this is usually how most timelines of new applications go. At first, you are all excited because you just got a new application. It’s all shiny like a new car and maybe even has a fun new car smell. You start using it and it is working just like you wanted and things couldn’t be better. Let’s fast forward about 3 years after the initial install date. Now you have been using the software for a few years and it’s still great. All your employees love it because it is simple to use and never gives you any trouble. It is getting a little old, so the overall look of the site, as well as the new car smell, are long gone. However, you don't worry about it because it's still ...

Six Keys to Effective Project Management

Most projects are about change – and change is seldom easy. Both individual people and organizations seem hard-wired to resist it, and often for good reason: It’s often messy. It’s usually difficult. And however careful the planning, preparation, and execution beforehand, there is often a sense of uncertainty about the results – if not about the outcome, then about the response to it. Easy or not, though, change is necessary – and actually, it is inevitable. If there’s one thing that seems abundantly clear in our mobile, technology-driven, fast-paced world, it’s that nothing stands still for very long. Change is the environment we live in - whether purposeful and directed or accidental and chaotic. The choice becomes whether to resist it, to succumb to it grudgingly – or to embrace it wholeheartedly, with a sound plan for turning it into an advantage. That’s what project managers are for: Making change ...

The Charitable Side of TEDxDetroit

This was my second year attending TEDxDetroit. Last year, I sat in the Fox and took in all of the inspiration, perspective and glory that the presenters had to offer. This year, I attended as a volunteer – specifically the TEDxDetroit charitable giving volunteer. While I loved the presentations from the first year what blew me away this year was all of you. I spoke with hundreds of attendees and presenters, and listened to your stories as you told me how you were personally impacted by the charities we sponsored. To each of you who donated or took a moment to express gratitude – thank you for giving me my best TEDxDetroit experience. I had many people ask for more details on the charities represented on the day of TEDxDetroit, so here they are! Detroit Area Pre-College Engineering Program The Detroit Area Pre-College Engineering Program is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization ...

Here’s a Good Idea: TEDxDetroit

Think of every good thing you’ve ever seen happen – in your own life, in the lives of your family and friends, or in the world around you. What do they all have in common? Chances are that they all started with the same thing: A good idea. Ideas are powerful things. They have a way of setting events in motion – for better or for worse – and transforming themselves from possibilities into probabilities, and from probabilities into realities. A groundbreaking scientific discovery, a lifesaving medical procedure, a major humanitarian initiative, a brilliant work of art – all begin from the same modest foundation: An individual or a group asking themselves “What if?”, and letting a new idea come into the world. One thing about good ideas: They tend to feed off of each other, and multiply by mitosis. When a good idea is shared, it has the power ...
