8. Focus on the right things
The basis for the procurement process should not be allowed to become too detailed. Initial project planning has its advantages, but if the work becomes too detailed it runs the risk of getting bogged down. It can become difficult to make corrections and alterations and to take advantage of the entrepreneur’s expertise. The alternative is to ease off on the detail somewhat and to manage the project continuously through clear guidelines rather than a strict framework. Such an approach leaves scope for adjusting one’s position throughout
Be humble. As a rule, an arena project is something that people become involved with only once during their working lives. Surrounding the project manager with the right skills and expertise will enable him/her to make the right decisions during the course of the project, even if there is a lack of adequate experience from similar projects.
