Communication is key in any business.
MM, Partners and the City are not very good at PR.
I think a simple monthly update in some basic form would go along
way. Of course, people will file every piece of paper and underline
every word of that communication- but at least everyone has
something to look at.
Look at when major companies issue "forecasts" for the upcoming
quarter or year - "projected earnings". In reality, they are a joke.
Why?
If x, then y, else oops (error statement).
There is no accountability for the oops in the earnings statements.
The CEO isn't usually canned, the analysts blames the CFO for for not
providing accurate info, the CEO blames the economy or natural
disaster and life goes on. So they lower expectations for next year.
Why? That way you hit the target and everyone's happy.
In project management, you make sure you goals that are attainable -
even weeks in advance. That's how you get promoted, regardless of how
much the project cost. You can plan for 30 days, get it done in 20
days and play cards for 10 days. Do we tell them it only took 20
days - or come in on target?
