Update on An Excellence Agenda

Today's post is on the progress of the Excellence Agenda Project launched in mid-September. 

I am pleased to report that the web site and the weblog are both getting excellent traffic.  The blog now has readers from Canada, Russia, Germany, the UK and the US.  It gets regular hits and the momentum is building nicely. 

Recent posts include conceptual models of an Excellence Agenda, posts on personal Excellence Agendas, and Managing the Gap.  The most popular posts are Meagan's Story and Caelan's Story, which tells me the blog needs more stories! Megan's Story was passed on to Metro Customer Service office and was referenced in their management newsletter.  If you have any examples of an Excellence Agenda that you think might make a good story for the blog feel free to contact me through the website: an-excellence-agenda.com

I am currently working with one client on an Excellence Agenda project and in negotiations with  three potential clients to do an Excellence Agenda project with them.

Upcoming topics for posts will include comments on Leadership and Management, the New Key Success Factors, Mediocrity and some case studies of excellence.  Other coming attractions: A Managers Guide to An Excellence Agenda and a Kindle Book.

I was one of the presenters at the ALI conference on Performance Measurement and Management in Government on October 18th.  The presentation was very well received.  The Conference was very impressive.  Great organization and terrific speakers.  Based on the response to the presentation in October, I have been invited back to present at the ALI conference on social media in government to be held in March.  I will post the link as I get more information.  The presentation from the 18th is posted on the website: an-excellence-agenda.com/Clients.html

I will be presenting a keynote on the New Key Success Factors at the Brockville Chamber of Commerce Breakfast on Thursday, November 24th at the Brockville Golf and Country Club.  Registration starts at 7:30 am, breakfast at 8:00 am and you are out by 9:00!  For more information contact the Brockville Chamber of Commerce here: Brockville Chamber of Commerce.

I am looking for additional potential sites for an Excellence Agenda demonstration project.  As well, I would be pleased to present An Excellence Agenda to any workgroup, team or management.  Feel free to contact me with any ideas or suggestions.
