Almost a transcript of the video.<\/em><\/p>\n

Traditional PM tools are based on the attempt to predict the future in detail. This is really hard.<\/span><\/p>\n

Listen to this great podcast by the Freakonomics economists that studied predictions, \u201cWhat do Wall Street forecasters and Romanian witches have in common? They usually get away, scot-free, with making bad predictions.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The increased flexibility of work, people, changing conditions, even more in times of crisis. Being capable of reform, changing ideas in companies can be a great strength.<\/span><\/p>\n
