Word of the day. This is more like phrase of the day. So this phrase that we’re going to be talking about is project management, and that’s a big one in the digital creative space. Sometimes it’s called, producers now are digital project managers. But it’s a big deal and it’s something we’ve put in our firm, a number of years ago, we started the process of putting project management in a creative financial accounting and consulting firm. And of course we do that work for digital agency so we know what it’s like to have a project manager go into a company. And you know what? What we learned about is that project management has a philosophy behind it. It’s really a belief system. That’s why not all project management is the same. Not all people teach it the same. That’s why there are courses about it because it teaches you the philosophy and how to do it. And for sure project management, if it’s a belief and it’s like you believe work flows this way through companies and you believe project managers or producers care for team and work with clients in these particular ways.

If you believe those things, then everybody’s going to approach it different. And for sure, project management systems, computer software, that’s built too, because somebody built it with a belief system.
