Principles of Professional Change

You have to define your critical organizational improvements quantitatively
You have to judge all organizational strategies in relation to these critical objectives
You have to roll out change early and often, and Measure the effect immediately
You have to prioritize change strategies that really work, and kill off those that don’t, before scaling up
Focus on Meta-Strategies: those that allow decentralized feedback and change during projects (like Evo and Spec QC)
Project Architecture must explicitly address quantified project objectives
All cost-driving specification must be quality controlled and have high quality (1 Major defect/page) exit levels
Projects must deliver Stakeholder Value incrementally and measurably
Thorough Stakeholder Value analysis must be used to prevent cost surprises later
Always prioritize the most efficient strategies next: high value/cost wrt risk
Sub-contract for no cure no pay, not for fixed cost or time and materials
