Good solutions come from open techniques

Oftentimes the best solutions come for the most unsuspected places and people.  We need to open our minds to working with others in a judgement-free environment.  Some would disapprove and call this a free-for-all.  Others would savior the experience for its quality outcome.  It is worth the time and effort to practice the techniques discussed in this lesson.

Visionary Thinking!

Even though content, tips, and structure provide the tools to successfully deploy a strategic plan, I think it is as important to have a visionary mindset that goes hand in hand with drive, initiative, innovation, and entrepreneurship, these soft skills are key components to the project success.

Having a skilled team that not only possesses the knowledge and experience but also performs under pressure, it's creative and confident about making decisions or adjust to situations that are very important to accomplish the tasks at hand efficiently and timely. Such accomplishment is only possible with leadership and patience.
