Google on the ropes? Zappos the best ever? Neither. One uses organizational planning. How’s that relevant to my organization?
In my efforts to talk about issues organizations face and then weave SF into the conversation (vs weaving client issues into the SF conversation) I posted this blog.

Notes
Jumpstart into Solution Focus
You want to learn more about "Solution Focus"?
You prefer a "step by step" introduction instead to start with reading some voluminous books?
You would appreciate to have a complete "helicopter view" on SF after the first step…

Greetings from Holland
BIG BIG thank you for the pictures!!! What a great way to remember a magnificent evening!! Let us know when and how we can do something for you!
good to hear from you.
yes, you are right projectmanagement and IT are great areas for the SF approach.
It make a big difference to the usual approach.
Especially important in projects as it is an area where listening is so important - and taking your clients view - who is the expert on his needs.
Take care
Monika
