Having project stakeholders make decisions in a timely manner and complete project work can have varied results from project to project, and team to team.

Studies have shown that quality and timeliness of project work increases dramatically when collaborative meetings are used to bring the “right stakeholders” together to make decisions and create deliverables on projects.

Learning how to effectively leverage the power of collaborative meetings and keep project stakeholders engaged in and productive during meetings is the focus of this 1 hour course offered in Solution’s Cube Group’s Collaborative Meeting Series of webinars.

• Determine who the “right” project stakeholders are for project meetings

Depending on your organization’s methods of project evaluation or request for changes to a project, a good understanding of these three statements will help you to understand how your projects will affect any company or organization’s finances.

1. Income Statement
2. Balance Sheet
3. Statement of Cash Flows
