George A. Liyeos gave a presentation about managing public/private partnership projects that have run into difficulties. He discusses factors to consider when deciding whether to continue efforts to save a failing project, such as legal entanglements, financial impacts, political costs, and developing an exit strategy to end the project gracefully if needed. He also outlines signs to monitor the "vital signs" of the project and determine if recovery is possible or if it is time to abandon the project and start over with a new partner.

A workshop on working with foundations originally presented to student at Elon University's Kernodle Center for Service Learning and Community Engagement.
Managing expectations is about perception and it is the primary measure of your success . Managing expectations well is an important skill no matter what business you’re in. Are you in the business of developing an On Demand product on the internet? Tell your customers as soon as possible if there’s going to be a delay in their shipment, and then throw in a freebie unexpectedly. Are you in the business of being a typical employee in a typical company anywhere in the world? Make sure you know exactly what your manager expects of you, and then find ways to go beyond their expectations and make sure they know all about it.
The majority of people and businesses simply meet expectations, and some don’t even manage to do that. With a little attention towards managing and exceeding expectations it’s easy to stand out in the crowd.

Corporate managers have a responsibility to act in the best interest of the company over the long term. One of the characteristics of a corporation is that its existence is not tied to a specific owner or partner and it should continue to operate past any one manager or CEO. A corporation’s current stock value can fluctuate a great deal from day to day for a number of reasons. News reports related to political issues, actions by foreign governments, sales forecasts, and predictions of production costs or prices can all have a significant effect on the current stock price of a company. The stock price may not be an accurate representation of the company’s long term profitability or actual performance. A large component of the market value is analysts’ expectations of the company’s cash flows and performance, not necessarily the actual performance. Manager’s primary focus should be on creating and maximizing wealth for the shareholders of the corporation (Byrd, Hickman, McPerson, 2013). Their goal should be creating that wealth in the long term with real revenues and profits, not attempting to reach a short term stock price. A focus on the short term and stock prices can lead to unethical business decisions and a distorted account of the company’s performance. An emphasis on the market price can decrease shareholder value, create misguided incentives for managers, and generate dishonesty in executives (Denning, 2011). A strategy that emphasizes long term profitability and growth is in the best interest of shareholders, executives, and customers.

This is an interesting discussion post for me. In a hospital setting, long term goals are so vital to sustainability, as billing for procedures and reimbursement take a few months to get on the books. So for my current state, I would say short term profit are important to keep at the forefront, but to not get discouraged if the value drops for a timeframe as you can forecast what should be coming in. Personally it seems that the short term feeds into the success of the long term. Short term goals allow me to adjust quicker in order to help save the bottom line of a long term goal. Our organization is switching from a normal budget to a real time financial planning. This is in hopes to make decisions that affect the now, in a timely fashion, before it negatively affects the long term goals. This is our first quarter of such a program, so we shall see how this new st ...

Think of your organization as a long canoe
The canoe has a destination
Everyone in the canoe has a seat and paddle
Everyone is expected to paddle
Those who won’t paddle have to get out of the canoe
Those who prevent others from paddling have to re-adjust or get out of the canoe
There are no passengers in the canoe
The canoe theory understands crisis
The canoe theory says you have the right to be happy
