This month and next I will be speaking about the subject of my coming book. I start this week on a concall with project managers from Jones Lang LaSalle. Frankly, I'm a little intimidated. I've got so much I can speak about, but only one hour to do so. I really don't know what I'll do. Except, I had to submit slides last night. Won't they be surprised! I understand it will be taped. I'll share it if I'm able.

Read the latest story of how green meets lean, or should I say kaizen? It's a Wall St Journal article that you don't want to miss.
It irks me when people play games with their writing. It wastes the readers' time, turns them off to what one has to say, and creates idealogical warfares. Write clearly...for the readers. Sorry for this outburst. Let's speak (and write) so we can be understood. Our projects will benefit from that.

Hal, glad to hear the long-awaited book is coming to fruition. Look forward to hearing more.
Good session with the PMs at Jones Lang LaSalle. I had a little too much material and we started a few minutes late. The questions were good. They did record the session. When I get the copy I’ll post it.
