I'd like to say I never experience customer frustrations on any of my projects, but the truth is I've experienced some degree of customer frustration on nearly every project at some point during the process.

If the very mention of “Public Speaking” causes you to hurl, that’s OK. It’s a perfectly natural response. A Gallup poll ranks our fear of speaking in front of people as 2nd only to our fear of SNAKES. You’ve all heard the tip: overcome your fear of speaking by picturing the audience naked. Yikes.

Over the past decade, companies have embraced innovation with enthusiasm—Chief Innovation Officers have been hired, and in-house incubators, accelerators, and co-creation labs have been launched. CEOs have spoken with passion about “making everyone an innovator” and the need “to disrupt our own business.” But after years of experimentation, senior leaders are asking: Is this still just an experiment, or are we in it for the long haul?

A June 2010 survey that I personally conducted of project managers and project personnel showed that 57% of responders indicated that they conducted lessons learned sessions either not at all or less than 10% of the time.
