Building the Enterprise in Flow

Something isn't right, but you can't pinpoint it.

Maybe you're a program manager who can't get your arms around the true health of your program. Maybe you're running a PMO and struggling to find clarity across the portfolio. Maybe you're a technology leader flying blind, no clear line of sight into delivery or spend.

The tools change every eighteen months. The processes get rebranded. Nothing improves where it actually matters. There are only so many hours in a day. So where do you focus, when everything is on fire and the day is already gone?

You start small and scale incrementally. One program, improved from the bottom up. Take what works and scale it to the others.

Building the Enterprise in Flow is not a methodology. It exploits what works, discards what doesn't, and stays loyal to none. Twenty-six rules, earned through thirty years of enterprise experience. Through enough trial and error to know the difference between what holds up under pressure and what just sounds good in a slide deck.

This is the book for the person, team, or enterprise that has repeated the same patterns with little or no success. Start with one program. Solve one problem at a time. Scale from there.
