Stavros Michailidis Explains His Winning Project!

Thank you for the very kind words Keith.

Our workshop was called "Make it Happen with Momentum" and the purpose was to present a new method for diagnosing, and building momentum for implementation initiatives.  

A little back story: 

Two years ago I started a graduate program in Creativity and Change Leadership.  A foundational part of what I learned there was a process called Creative Problem Solving.  (sorry for all the links, I just want to make sure you can access the information if you want it)  This method is designed to engage groups in a proven process that helps generate and develop new ideas to solve problems.  At the end of this process the group has developed what is called an Action Plan.  This action plan is the guiding document for implementation of the new initiative.

As an entrepreneur, I know the value of good ideas.  I also know the value of all the hard work it takes to achieve success.  I asked myself, why do some ideas succeed while other, equally noteworthy ideas, fail?  After some intuitive searching I realized that many people used the word momentum to describe this.  "We have momentum!" a client of mine declared to communicate that success was a certain destiny.  Another prospective client asked for my help by explaining that - "We were doing well, but then momentum wained and our initiative fell apart." 

So, I began to ask myself about momentum.  What is this thing that people attribute to helping with the success of their projects.  The presentation we delivered in Brussels was the culmination of our research.  It includes a guiding formula for momentum, a diagnostic tool that helps identify 8 types of momentum, and basic strategies that can be used to devise tactics for building momentum.  I am in the process of building a webpage to share this framework.  In the meantime, if you would like more information you can reach out to me directly at StavrosCM at G mail. 

Thanks for your interest.
