Recently, Sharp Electronics announced they would be leaving the consumer flat panel display market. Their reason: the consumer television market is saturated with competition and there is no longer any room for them to generate a profit. Sharp’s solution to this dilemma is to exit the market and license their brand to Chinese manufacturer Hisense. For many years, Sharp has been at the top of the television market. This change has been coming for several years; it is but one example of a market that continues to be in flux.

During the course of my tenure in the audio visual industry, I have interviewed a number of project managers and worked for a number of companies who claimed they “managed the entire project lifecycle from concept to completion.” In all honesty, I too have claimed to be a master of this skill. The problem with this statement is that in most cases, the only individual(s) truly involved in a project throughout its entire lifecycle is the client. Key players will join and leave the team along the way, but only the client is there from beginning through the end and beyond.
