Grinnell Scott & Associates has been following the failure of project management for many years with sadness (nothing seems to change over time) and interest (there are solutions).  We have put our thinking into action and developed a thorough and practical approach to managing critical projects: innovation, new product development, new market penetration and even acquisitions.  We call it Value Proposition Management.  Please take note of our summary presentation on VPM.
