Duration: 1 hour 1 CAT B FREE

If you’re like most project managers, you have problems managing people on projects.Your many difficulties include conflict management, resource management, and project leadership (or the lack thereof).

Are you left wondering how to overcome these issues? Then we have some ideas!

We’ve brought together a panel of leading project management experts to help.During this presentation we will explore 5 key issues that we all face as project managers.

  • Group Think versus Project Leadership – How many people does it take to change a light bulb?
  • Communicating all the risks versus communicating only the pertinent risks – How much does the client need to know?
  • Delegating Tasks versus Controlling Tasks – To delegate or micro-manage? That is the question.
  • Team Conflicts and Conflict Resolution – Dealing with diverse personalities and personal issues.
  • Resource Allocation versus Resource Availability – How to avoid getting yourself into resource trouble and what you can do to get out.

Interact with our panel of PM gurus who will share real-life examples of problem solving techniques.

Be prepared to discuss these topics and ask them your toughest questions.

Attendees will walk away with some practical solutions they can begin applying immediately to their own projects.

This webinar is 1 hour long and attendees are eligible for 1 PDU.

Topic: The Art of Productive Laziness

“Progress isn’t made by early risers. It’s made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something.” – Robert Heinlein

Learn about the art of productive laziness with Peter Taylor (LinkedIn profile), The Lazy Project Manager. Understand what is meant by the ‘productive lazy’ approach to Projects (and life) and learn how to apply these lessons ‘to be twice as productive and still leave the office early’.

This session will cover:

  • The definition of productive laziness
  • The science behind the theory (yes there really is some)
  • And Peter will share some personal learning experiences that led to the creation of ‘The Lazy Project Manager’.

In addition Peter will discuss the 3 key project stages:

  1. The ‘lazy’ project manager works very hard in the first stage
  2. Then they should be in the comfortable position of enjoying the ‘comfy chair’ safe in the knowledge that the project is well under control.
  3. A specific focus will be made on the third area, project closure, which can be done so much better with very little effort but with a significant value add for all ‘would be’ lazy project managers

The Presenter: Peter Taylor is a dynamic and commercially astute professional who has achieved notable success in Project Management.

His background is in project management across three major business areas over the last 26 years, MRP/ERP systems with various software houses and culminating in his current role with Infor, Business Intelligence (BI) with Cognos, and product lifecycle management (PLM) with Siemens. He has spent the last 7 years leading PMOs and developing project managers and is now focusing on project based services development with Infor.

Peter is also an accomplished communicator and leader and is a professional speaker as well as the author ofThe Lazy Project Manager: How to be twice as productive and still leave the office early (Infinite Ideas) and ‘Leading Successful PMOs’ (Gower).
