Evolution and Revolution

For the first time in months, I actually took the time to read back through the collection of missives, notes and ramblings that comprise this on-line cacophony. It's fun to watch the business grow and evolve over time, as we saw new markets and arenas where I could leverage our business and (technical-business-process) management skills continue to pop up. Some avenues, political marketing and management, we hadn't touched in years, only to find ourselves being pulled back (?) into the realm.

Right now, we're getting spread too thinly. We're involved in projects in the following areas:
1. Marketing Management
2. Business Management
3. Business Process Management.
4. Community Development and Economic Development
5. Political Management
6. Political Marketing
7. Technical review and analysis, Business Change Management
8. Public Development, Image and Perception Management

Yup, they overlap in many areas, but to cut down on the excess time and focus on our core strengths, during the remainder of this month we will be thinning the herd. This is a process that most businesses should go through at least once every 18 months or less, depending upon the rate of completion and turnover in your industry. In our case, it will allow us to reallocate our time more effectively on the most profitable arenas with the greatest long-term potential in Central Florida. We can cut down on the excess training time that my agents have been jumping through, training for projects that are likely to only be one-offs and not repeats. Hell, maybe I can even get an evening during the week where I can get to bed before midnight.

Speaking of which, I have a contract to wrap up before midnight.
