Process this...

In the end it is about the process. You can look back on past projects and evaluate what the hell happened! Look to your processes, if you in fact did have some, to be the why you either succeeded, failed, or landed somewhere in-between. Get better at process and you'll get better at success.

"What is a system? A system is a network of interdependent components that work together to try to accomplish the aim of the system. A system must have an aim. Without an aim, there is no system. The aim of the system must be clear to everyone in the system. The aim must include plans for the future. The aim is a value judgment." ~ W. Edwards Deming
