Management Tool of Choice Imagine you’re an NBA basketball team coach. You’re down by a point with eight seconds to go, and your team has the ball. Your point guard calls time out, and you have to decide who will shoot the final shot. If you win, your team makes the playoffs; if you lose, you can pack your bags for Maui. Your best player, your point guard, is having a terrible game. He is two for twelve from the field, but he is your best ball handler and usually your best shooter. Your former All-Pro forward has had a sensational game, twenty-six points on ten for thirteen from the field. Yet, this season he hasn’t done well under pressure. A tough decision, if you win, you’re a hero, and if you lose, you may be looking for your next coaching gig. Now imagine you’re the CEO of a $250 million a year high technology company. The competition for your automated home environment system is becoming very competitive. To date, you seem to be near the industry norm in conducting successful projects. Nearly sixty percent of your projects satisfy the triple constraint of schedule, cost, and scope. Your staff working on existing products and processes are reasonably productive, you think. You hear about a tool from a tennis buddy in a different industry that solves many of the problems seeming to cause your company’s failures. Yet, the company providing the software tool isn’t Microsoft, Google, Amazon, IBM, or Oracle. They are a start-up that launched their product this year. Your decision will affect your tenure with the organization at next year’s board meeting.
