Management as a Grand Staging
Welcome to the Grand Performance of Management! Projects, programs, and portfolios aren’t just numbers and plans—they’re full-scale productions with highs and lows, with grand visions, unexpected twists, and the occasional drama behind the scenes.
Project Management and Opera – A Liaison Full of Drama
Anyone who thinks project management is dry has clearly never spent time backstage at an opera. That’s not where chaos rules—it’s where the fine art of staging reigns! From the first director’s concept to opening night: everything is a project.
And yet—as always—it never goes exactly to plan. The tenor loses his voice (risk management!), the set jams (critical path!), and the prima donna squares off with the director in a top-tier jealousy duel (stakeholder drama!).
In short: Opera is a project—just with more glitter and a higher risk that someone dies tragically.
On Stage Tonight: Projects, Dramas, Opening Nights
Repertoire
Portfolio
Not every project belongs on stage! Just like in the opera house, what matters in business is choosing wisely what gets performed.
Cast
Staffing
Every production lives and dies by its casting. Who plays what? What do you do when someone drops out? Good planning keeps everything on track—even when tensions are running high backstage.
Performance
Project
Great art requires precise planning. Without smart direction, opening night quickly turns into improvisation—thanks to endless meetings, chaos, and unexpected plot twists.
Tour
Program
Multiple projects, one goal—this is where it all comes together. Whether you’re a conductor or a crisis manager: the right direction makes all the difference.
Behind the Curtain: Scores, Dramatic Moments, Backstage Tales
Score
Framework
A proven score, freshly staged: Master the fundamentals, and you’ll bring projects safely to the finish line. Clear structures instead of last-act improvisation!
Scandal
Turnaround
When chaos reigns, what you need isn’t luck—it’s a strong stage manager. Otherwise, opening night ends in boos.
Stage Fright
Stories
Every production writes its own story—usually amusing, but often only in hindsight. Those who can laugh at mishaps learn the most.
Critique
Columns
Projects are like operas: grand plans, strong egos, wild twists. “From Chaos to Opening Night” doesn’t offer hero’s tales, but sharp-witted columns.
The preparations are complete—and the show begins!
Whether it’s about your career or your personal life: everything stands or falls with smart planning, the right cast, and a well-thought-out dramatic arc. Have I caught your interest? Then join me as I walk you through these themes and discover how it all comes together.
