Enable change to achieve the envisioned future state

Imagine you work in a government agency and have a fixed budget to build a few clinics in remote cities. This budget is enough for building 10 clinics; however, if the projects are managed properly, it may be possible to build 11 of them. That one extra clinic would exist because of good project management, and any lives saved because of that could be partially attributed to proper project management. Isn’t that great?

Many projects are undertaken around the world to educate children in low-income countries, to help various groups of people to build a proper life, to find cures for diseases, to gain new scientific achievements, etc. All of these are the elements that make the world a better place for everyone.

Unfortunately, many have focused too much on fancy projects in recent years. While entertainment is necessary as well, it’s not the biggest concern, and what is done in those areas cannot be easily expanded to all domains.
