After a little delay in getting things organized, “Minding the Plan” is open for postings. At this point in my life I have never been more excited about where I am and the opportunities that await, and the purpose of this blog is to express some of my thoughts and experiences. Not only will I talk about my career as a project manager and how I have transitioned into the world of consulting, but I will also attempt to explain interesting situations of human behavior that I have been involved with. More importantly my main goal (albeit probably the most difficult) is to create a community where people freely post comments and engage in discussions. I will do my best to facilitate that.
Now on to a few disclaimers. All of the opinions expressed in this blog are my own, and any references to people in my articles are personas that I have created. While past acquaintances and situations may have helped shaped that creation there is not a direct relationship to specific people. In the cases where I have specific consent to reference real people then I will make sure that it is clearly stated. Lastly, I do encourage people to post and email me comments, but I do reserve the write to delete posts as I see fit. While I will always err on the side of freedom of speech, if a comment is obscene, spam or infringes on the rights of others it will be removed.
Lastly, before I wrap up this first post I have yet to finalize a design and layout for this site, and as such things may change. I felt it was more important to start posting and getting in the flow then have an catchy site established. Thus, please forgive me if it looks a bit bland.
Best,
Josh
