• Do you struggle when a project has limited controls and processes?
• What happens when you discover the organization takes pride in its informality and flexibility?
• How can you as a project manager adapt without threatening the organization’s core values?

A project manager accustomed to working on projects within a hierarchical organization may struggle when faced with managing a project within a flat organization because the culture is casual with informal communication, processes, and controls.

When faced with this situation, it is important for the project manager to:

1. Take the time to understand the organization’s culture and evaluate five commonly found flat organization characteristics.
2. Then adapt and implement project management processes and controls that fit with the culture and can be supported by the team and
3. Finally, rely on, and if need be, as a project manager strengthen your management, leadership and interpersonal skills that tie to the unique organizational characteristics to ensure overall project (and project management) success.

This presentation discusses the five characteristics and the related management, leadership, and interpersonal skills a project manager should consider leveraging to achieve the right amount of process–the right balance of control–to ensure project success without threatening the organization’s core values.
