The first half of the year has certainly been eventful as we just recently completed our annual Professional Development Day Conference as well as Dinner Meetings and Mixers in Broward, Miami/Dade, and Palm Beach. Our Community Outreach Team also completed a competition between High School Project Management Teams to coordinate two of our Mixers. Both teams did a great job! We look forward to the second half of the year as we start off in July with our Think Tank event in Miami Lakes and added a Geek Day Event in September to complement our Day Of Excellence to get the "back to school" season revved up. Thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing and engaging with you at our upcoming events. Also, please reach out to us to see if we can support your upcoming activities as well. Sincerely, Evr ar d? Spen ce? Spen cer Pr esiden t PM I Sou t h Flor ida

2 PLANNING IS GOOD BUT YOU MUST HAVE TO FOLLOW THROUGH I have a colleague who is an expert at planning. A dreamer, innovator and a good planner as well. He can create the vision, he understands how to create a plan and he can visualize the journey to success. Ram Charan, noted author and consultant on strategic planning, is quoted as saying?execution is the great unaddressed issue in the business world today. Its absence is the single biggest obstacle to success and the cause of most of the disappointments that are mistakenly attributed to other causes.? For years we've built up an abundance of knowledge, skills and talent to help organizations build solid strategic plans. But then we all go back to work. Larry Bossidy, past CEO of Honeywell International put it best when he said "Many people regard execution as detail work that's beneath the dignity of a business leader. That's wrong... It's a leader's most important job." If you are involved in the strategic planning process of any organization (your own, a local charity, PMI chapter or any other Association), may I suggest that you stand up at the end of the process and propose one more meeting: how are we going to make this happen? Take all of the work that has been proposed, lay it out on a board and go through each action item or group of work and ask these questions: who is responsible? who is going to do the work? how long will it take? how much money will it take? are there any milestones during this work packet? what does completion look like? And then the last, uncomfortable question... what happens if this does not get done? A solid strategic execution plan starts with these questions. Just taking the time after the initial planning phase, to go through this list, is more than most organizations will do. David Bar r et t is the National Program Director for Project Management and Business Analysis with the Schulich Executive Education Centre, Schulich School of Business, York University. He is also an author, a regular blogger, podcaster and professional speaker specializing in leadership, strategy execution and professional growth. For more info, visit his website: 22
