One Of The Biggest Challenges To Successful Project Implementation
Is The Evolution Of The Project Team

A company will invest time, money, and effort in detailing the scope, selecting relevant experts for the team, choosing a project manager, and will leave them on their own to “make it work.”

The challenge of taking a diverse group of individuals, with varying backgrounds and experience, from different functional areas, and placing them on a project team with a Project Manager who is not their direct supervisor, can severely undermine the success of any project.

In “The Human Factor in Project Management,” Kevin explores some of the common mistakes Project Managers and companies make and offers strategies for creating highly functioning teams, guiding them through the team development process, and getting them to work together more effectively from the outset. He also discusses the powerful forces at work in our lives that determine our thoughts, actions, and ultimately the course and quality of our lives.
