1. Clear objectives. The vision, the goal should be abundantly clear. Repeated often, symbols put on. Logo etc.
2. Unclear methods. When there is a clear goal, let the participants find the way. Many IT projects have a clear methodology (design model) and an unclear goal!
3. Dreams. It is important to make the participants start dreaming. Thinking the unthinkable. Creativity. Out of box. Narrow scope but dream it would. Everything can be scaled!
4. Exact communication. Dramatize, simplify, story-telling. A blade is a blade.
5. Start with a small organization. Few people can be controlled. Wait until they scream for resources. To ensure that they are limited to "need to have".
6. Open plan office. Project participants must sit / be open space all the time. Make special rooms for private things. To ensure communication, rules, sense of status
7. Risk willigness. His principle was that they had to give up 3 times on a job before he listened to them. They should try some things.
8. Fix-points. Find fix-points as you can use for reference points. Both follow-up, milestones, communication and celebration.
9. Delegation. Project managers need to know all about the mood of the project and be present. They do not know everything about technology.
10. Acceptere errors. The usual: Just not 2 times
11. Deals must be win-win. All agreements (internal and external) must be based on win-win.
