• Admit that you don’t know

• Ask

• Ask those who come, how they know they know

• Ask them to go from beginning to the end of the project

Logic Models

• Use logic instead of experience

• Price based system vs. best value

• Minimize the flow of information between parties

• Blind vs. the visionary contractor/vendor

• Minimize risk that they do not control

Result of Using Logic

• Forces vendors to know what they are going to do before they do it

• Transfers risk and control

• Forces vendors to manage, document, and ensure that they are providing best value

• Makes the vendor accountable

• Makes the client’s personnel accountable

• Accountability brings efficiency and value

Logic and accountability stops “foolish

actions”

There is something wrong with the delivery of services…..

No one knows how bad the problem really is…..

Entire system is broken….

Requires more management….

Performance is decreasing….

Relationships are more important than results….

Skill levels are decreasing….

Management

….it becomes less important to be skilled, accountable, and able to minimize risk

As management, control, and direction become more important…..

A lot of folks can't understand how we came To have an oil shortage here in our country.

~~~ Well, there's a very simple answer.

~~~ Nobody bothered to check the oil.

~~~ We just didn't know we were getting low.

Dominant Informationminimizes surprises

The reason for that is purely geographical.

~~~ Our oil is located in:

ALASKA, California, Coastal Florida, Coastal Louisiana,

Kansas, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and

Texas. ~~~

But our DIPSTICKS are located in

Washington, DC.
