Does anybody know what the "Tipping Point" is? "In sociology, a tipping point or angle of repose is the event of a previously rare phenomenon becoming rapidly and dramatically more common" Wikipedia
I believe that project controls and project planning is being acknowledged to be extremely useful for project management, but has not hit that tipping point that we are looking for. A good example is that we still struggle to implement this philosophy and techniques to the foremans, construction managers and construction engineers, and this is where it all happens, and these individuals are the ones who can make or break a project.
I am proposing to develop some kind of world wide marketing strategy to be able to move our field from "it is a good thing to have" to "it is indispensable to have", and with take our field to its "tipping point".
I believe that the main reason these individuals reject project management techniques is due to ignorance on the subject as well as fear of change. I believe that with a good information strategy they will realize the benefits of it and support the effort, rather than refuse them.
Any ideas on how to take upon this monumental endeavour?
