Zen and the art of Business Operations Management #4

10

Do not lose your way
in the forest of finance.
Swap cake for guidance.

11

Dragon's piercing gaze
falls on RAG status reports,
probing for weakness.

12

Departments: towers
of bamboo. Between, torrents
of resources flow.

Zen and the art of Business Operations Management #3

7

Target: our desire.
Forecast: your expectation.
Plan: mutual journey.

8

Projects, when gardened,
grow, live, breathe. Left untended,
they wilt, choked by weeds.

9

Targets are as dreams
on waking: swiftly fading,
barely remembered.

Zen and the art of Business Operations Management #2

4

Among the columns
imagined figures flicker,
grow, become real.

5

Your project sets sail
on dark and stormy oceans.
I am your lighthouse.

6

In the beginning,
no process, no procedures;
great minds, working hard.
