For decades the gold standard for measuring project success has been the project management iron triangle: on time, on budget, on scope. Despite increasingly more rigorous planning strategies, the average project is still 45% over budget, delayed by 63% and missing 1/3 of the promised functionality.
Beyond the iron triangle more impactful measures such as business value and sustainability, are even more elusive. Only 2% of organizations report that all their projects achieved the desired benefits.
It’s time to start changing that.
In this presentation we will look at the key reasons projects fail and more importantly what to do about it. We will review how agile project management achieves success sooner with fewer resources. We also look at innovative methods for maximizing project value and business impact.

Im an chem-e by education. But after to internships decided to falback to programming.
I think one of the biggest thing lacking
Outbound marketing involve many traditional advertising tactics such as buying ads, TV, radio or even online. Direct mail, cold calling, etc. The goal of outbound marketing is to interrupt your day and get you to take notice…
So there is a balancing act every results oriented website must achieve between what the users want and what the organization wants. Users have goals, the organization has goals. The secret is the user is in charge. So companies that give their visitors what they are seeking in a strategic way, can move people down the buying cycle to achieve organizational goals.
By delivering the right content to the right peron, we seek to build trust.
Trust is not a simple concept. It is comprised of several components.
To draw people into a site, we need attraction content.
…
But how do we get people from this attraction content, i.e. the research stage of the buying cycle and move them into the consideration stage?
The typical website most organizations have is what I call a brochureware website. It is bunch of page talking about the company and their products and services.
The good part about these kinds of sites is they are cheap to do, particularly if you don’t care how impressive the look and feel is. But anyone who has owned this kind of website realize the problem, they don’t generate any business.
Hardly anybody comes to these sites and those that do rarely turn into leads.

It powers some of the world’s top websites such as whitehouse.gov, The Economist and Examiner, all of Sony / BMG’s mission websites.

Apply the relevancy taxonomies to all content and user profiles.
So now what happens is on our same page, instead of 5 terms being pushed, now a sixth, C-Level is also pushed making testimonials get a higher priority. Or landing pages and case studies targeted at C-Level.
