Apple is grabbing headlines by announcing an Apple Online TV service this year. Some predict more disruptions ahead as midmarket companies, unhindered by big-company infrastructure, launch new strategic initiatives.

Such uncharted territory makes it likely that the wrong kind of disruption will occur: the unknown or unanticipated issues that delays or derails projects, as one PSI client recognized. He spearheaded a complete re-engineering of a core function of a finance powerhouse, with a tight deadline and hundreds of staff…with “…no time for training, and we needed more than just a review of techniques.”

“The Project Success MethodÒ was simple to learn with a relatively modest investment of time and money,” he said of the two-day session. PSI’s decisive factor was “A powerful methodology…that provides a set of reliable and proven problem-solving methods…. There will be unknowns as you process through a project. You have to be equipped with methods to identify them early and plan new solutions as needed.”

With PSI’s training, his team was able to bring a $100 milllion project to a successful conclusion right on schedule. That’s what I call the right kind of disruption.
