Failure to start

It is a front page news in the NST to-day.The Work Minister warned to terminate contractors that fail to start work within a month from the date of possesion of site.The main reason is to avoid delays in project implementation.



As a student of project management( I also teach sometimes), we must list down ALL type of delays and the major causes of project delay.When we understand what, where, who,why,when and how,then only we can properly address the issue.



How about the higher issues of achieving project goals and objectives?



IMHO,most projects will have problems due to incompetent stakeholders.

Failure to start is failure to complete.

GPSr GG

Today,I attended the gathering of GPS usergroup at Lotus Nasi Kandar restaurant next to Nikko Hotel.I was impressed by the menbers' enthusiasm and efforts taken to update their maps.The photo above shows Arsyan Treo650 being used as a reader of data from the GPS receiver sitting next to it. My first question: Is my iBook compatible with their GPS maps? No one has the answer.

BBB:BBM and Whatsapp

Lately,I communicate more with my friends who are connected to me via BBM and Whatsapp.Now,I can send as many messages as I want because I have BBM that cost RM10 a month and my unlimited data package with DiGi at RM68/month. As a practioner of project management disipline,the top of my agenda is communication.BBB is one gadget that can facilitate communication not only for business but for family and friends to stay in touch.One wise word from the first CEO of Mimos that was still rings in my ear: If you are not connected,you don't exist! Let us stay connected and maintain our silaturrahim-all the time.
