Keeping the Focus On What’s Important

August 1, 2018 | MIT Sloan Management Review | Strategy

Managers often spend too much time doing things that are not high priorities. This collection of articles from MIT Sloan Management Review examines how both individuals and organizations can best align goals with plans, keep projects on track, and use outside voices to help them remain focused on opportunities and not just threats.

Articles included with this collection:

Aligning Corporate Learning With Strategy by Shlomo Ben-Hur, Bernard Jaworski, and David Gray

How Executive Sponsors Influence Project Success by Timothy J. Kloppenborg and Debbie Tesch

The Importance of Structured Management Practices by Nicholas Bloom, Erik Brynjolfsson, Megha Patnaik, Itay Saporta-Eksten, and John Van Reenen

Own Your Time, Boost Your Productivity by Leslie Brokaw

Bringing Opportunity Oversight Onto the Board’s Agenda by Larry Bennigson and Frank S. Leonard
