Sadly I could not make the TPMA session this evening, but it looked like it was pretty damn intriguing.

The Twitter chat on balanced scorecards was a ton of fun! If you would like to check out the full log, you can.
I’m working on a balanced scorecard post, as I think all organizations can benefit…
(Q5) how would u go about, or would u, creating a product scorecard that measured all functional elements the product touched? #SAfPM
Folks, thank you for the awesome Balanced Scorecard chat today - it was great! DM me with any follow-ups you may have and thx! #SAfPM
I’ll post questions - when answering you can @ reply to folks, but always reference the question number that’s indicated. #SAfPM
(Q3) OK, so based on metrics and actual execution, could you successfully group strategic elements in to bigger areas of business? #SAfPM
(Q3) Example: Finance, Customers, Internal Process, and Learning and Growth #SAfPM
(Q2) How do you ensure your strategies are turned in to actionable goals / plans visible across biz functions? #SAfPM
OK, between @piplzchoice and @DavidWLocke (Q1) is approached at slightly different scales it seems, which is natural based on size #SAfPM
OK, since it’s only 3-4 of us I’ll move on to second question - just trying to get picture of where folks are at a bit. #SAfPM
(Q1) - Currently, how do you measure strategy execution and day-to-day activities that contribute to overall strategy? #SAfPM

How can Night at the Museum beat Terminator? Maybe it had a better screenplay? http://bit.ly/AjkS3
Getting ready to head to Yorkville for an art auction. No, not to buy - our friend is running it…
FWIW, the bit.ly preview FireFox extension has slowed my browser down a great deal on OSX.

Heading in to the office for the start of another week. Beautiful day out today in the city!
Didn’t mind T-4 today. It’s no 1 and 2, and a severe lack of character development, but it’s not too bad.
Fantastic UFC - Machida dominated.
Watching UFC and about to order a pizza / wings - sweet!
Terminator pushed until tomorrow. UFC tonight - w00t!
Even though I know I’m going to regret it, I’m going to see Terminator Salvation. Too big of a terminator fan not too.
Hanging out at home…working on some interesting things.
Ideas are fun!
RT @onthefringe: CEO Friday tip: What a great day to sell the shit out of some software.
Solid review from Cannes on Heath Ledger’s last film: http://bit.ly/155qZY I hope it gets picked up for distribution in North America.
Missed Termintor last night, but by all accounts from folks who are big fans of the series, it’s good I did. Just garbage, apparently.
OK @aprildunford, I’m trying out Tweetie. We’ll see…
Would love to partake in the #AoPM chat today, but can’t - have a gym schedule to uphold.
Wow — people never cease to amaze me.
Wow, beautiful day! Going up to almost 30. Short sleeves are in order today, me thinks.
Strategic Alignment and Stage Gates →
I participated today with a group of product manager’s (all of whom have forgotten more about product mgmt than I will ever know) in a Twitter chat - my first ever - about strategic alignment and…
Strategy alignment, for me, really means a more effective business that’s grounded in proven fundamentals and measurement. #SAfPM
RT @onthefringe: CEO Product Management tip: Don’t let them.
New Green Day is good. Too much piano. That being said, it blends old styles with new pretty well. Insomniac still tops for me.
Wow, Twitter on Adium is just grinding the app to a halt.
I’ll be taking part in a Twitter chat about phase-gates today at 3pm EST - #SAfPM
Getting ready to head in to the office to kick off a short week.
