Major change doesn’t happen by itself.  The following steps help you unleash organizational creativity:

Get attention; foster openness; build creativity Project participants need to know the Ten Basic PGI PROMISE rules which include:
		No exclusions or special cases (everyone is part of the process)
		No inquests (executives won't ask: “why didn’t you do this before?”)
		No targets
		Ask dumb questions

Get the right people on the project team
Middle Managers will work side-by-side with PGI to develop solutions for growing the company and improving performance. The project team will work with managers selected by you, who have drive and ambition, and who are willing to challenge the status quo. The CEO and the Executive Team are highly visible, but spend little time on the project.

Manage time
The project is fast (100 days) and runs to a strict timeframe. That means no time can be wasted on unnecessary analyses or ideas that won't fly. The focus is only on what a line manager can change, and all presentations and measurements are in a common format, so there is no dispute over numbers.
 
Create accountability and 100% implementation
Projects are implementation focused from start to finish, with the goal of achieving a minimum of  100%
implementation. This only happens if the ideas are truly owned by those who implement them. There are a number of
ways to achieve this: build consensus; agree upon a start point; perform rigorous analytics; use the line manager’s numbers; under-budget the impact and devise alternative ways to make up a shortfall. And, of course, track implementation with zeal.
