Have you ever driven by a project that was half finished........ but was now abandoned?
It is a "lasting testimony of something that ONCE had a vision", often with significant (now wasted) resources invested, but "something" happened that killed the project.
Why do most projects fail to be completed?
There could be a number of reasons.....
- There could have been a failure to raise adequate funds (resources) to complete it.
- There could have been a fall-out among management. (relationship issues)
- The project could have been simply ill-conceived. (Lack of R&D /Due diligence)
Good planning is key to estimating what it will take to complete a project.
"Then the LORD replied: 'Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it. For the revelation awaits an appointed time ?'" ( Hab 2:2-3).
We must conceive the project and clearly write out the vision with detailed specifications that identify what will be needed to complete it, -not ignoring to visualize what the end result might look like, -once it is successful
Entrepreneurs have a tendency to conceive projects without estimating the financial and manpower requirements to complete the projects.
Many a project has died because of this trait in entrepreneurs.
Great entrepreneurs understand their need to have detail-people around them that can take their ideas and put the details around them. (=HJ)
These are wise entrepreneurs who have learned to complement their weakness with those who can help them achieve their vision.
Do you have a vision for a work God has called you to do?
See to it that you complete the work you have received in the Lord.'" (Col 4:17).
Identify what will be needed to achieve success.
Leave it in 'your head' is NOT good enough.....
Put it in writing....
- 1st Brainstorm it with ALL participants
- Prioritize the remainder
- Set milestones of when to follow-up & check progress
- Set a definite start & completion date
* Find out WHY ? you want to do it; the motivation ; the reward
Do it !
Manage it
Change where necessary when it is necessary
