The Action Method

2009 September 8

I was doing some research on Action Learning methodology over the weekend and I “stumbled” upon this cool application called The ACTION Method. I have used Base Camp, and Back Pack previously, and have also used Council with my clients to help them and me track projects. This one seems to have real promise. Here’s the graphic that first caught my eye.

Mark Breckenridge, my associate would say that this graphic has a high “Start Value,” but more of his thinking in follow up posts. Very simply, it caught my attention, and then caused me to explore further and find out. Haven’t we all said at one time, “Enough with all the great ideas, let’s have some action.” It hit home for me, and I decided to give it a try.
I must admit, I am impressed. I am in the process of trying it and liking what I am seeing. Project Management made easier is cool. I can see how I can use this to help my clients to get stuff done as well. It looks like it could be a good way to design meetings, coach executives, and facilitate some of our lean processing work and value consulting work. For the geekiest of you, it also integrates seamlessly with Adobe Air, making it a very fast desktop application. Oh yeah, I forgot, it’s also a free iPhone app.
The pricing structure seems very reasonable because of the real value it adds to getting stuff done! Enjoy. Here is the link: <a href=”http://www.actionmethod.com/”>Action Method</a>
