Live Webinar – Thursday February 24 2011 1:00 – 2:00 EST
Offered by the Project Management Bookstore, 1 PDU Cat 4
Presenter: James P. Lewis.

Many causes of project failure can be traced to faulty thinking; which leads to poor project planning, inadequate execution, flawed decision making, and poor communication. No doubt you have heard we only use a small fraction of our potential brain power. But did you know we actually possess four modes of thinking? In reality, 56 percent of us use only two modes to any extent, and shockingly only three percent of us use all four modes of thinking! However, it is not impossible to use all four modes—we can, and this webinar will show you how.

In addition, author Jim Lewis will present the thinking model, which was developed by Ned Herrmann. Mr. Lewis will explain how to apply this model to improve you and your project teams thinking, which results in more successful projects. Using tools from the Technology of Thinkingâ„¢, you can learn to avoid the flawed thinking which causes project difficulty and failed projects.
