Here is a good one that is often debated in Project Management circles.
Can a project management methodology be designed to be flexible enough to suit both big and small projects. Take an example of risk management or communication management and show how you can create something yo can scale up or down to suit the project size.

The recent job cuts (Macy’s) are the result of cowardly managers afraid to become leaders. This some becomes 2300 jobs cut.

Momentum into 2007
The positive progress of last year continued into 2007. The Board announced it would ask shareholders to change our corporate name to Macy’s, Inc., and effective June 1, 2007. A shareholder vote will be conducted in conjunction with Federated’s Annual Meeting in May. While our company has been called Federated since 1929, Macy’s, Inc. better represents our business today. By aligning our corporate name with our largest brand, we will increase the visibility of the company with customers, leverage the world-famous Macy’s brand name, and get more credit for our accomplishments in the marketplace.
The Board also authorized a $4 billion increase in the company’s stock repurchase program. This included a February buyback of 45 million outstanding shares through accelerated share repurchase agreements.
The Board’s decision reinforces its confidence in the future of our company.
We believe that repurchasing shares is a very productive use of excess cash and balance sheet capacity.
