With the PMBOK® well into its 5th Edition and with roughly 700,000 PMPs using it, it appears that we have covered all the bases in order to improve our project success rates.

But… (and there is a “but”) the failure rate of projects is still too high and (for some reason) we keep doing the same things that result in failure.

This webinar is not about listing superficial reasons for project failures; it is about exploring the underlying causes for these failures and it offers practical ideas on how to improve your project success track record.

Presenter: Ori Schibi (LinkedIn profile) president of PmKonnectors is a visionary leader, communicator, connector and author of  “Managing Stakeholder Expectations for Project Success”.   Ori offers practical new ways of managing and dealing with projects, programs, business analysis and PMOs  including driving process efficiencies, software implementations, Agile Transformations, and project recoveries.

The State of Project Management Survey highlighted resource management as one of the most difficult but important areas for developing project management maturity.

Does your organisation have a very colourful and complex spreadsheet trying to juggle work versus people? 

Another key concern was the quality of project reports and the time taken to deliver regular Status or Highlight Reports.

• Don’t you wish everyone on your team were a top performer?
• How amazing would that be – if everyone were driven, motivated, hard-working, and contributed to the team effort with little to no setbacks?

Even stellar teams have middling employees. You know, people who’d rather just do the absolute minimum that’s required, and go home.

Trouble is, you have projects to manage, and deadlines to meet.

What if there was a way to energize and re-engage your under-performing, unproductive, unmotivated employees…

In this webinar Shawn Stratton (LinkedIn profile) will uncover 5 reasons why people underperform, and  ways to turn the tide and turn them into productive team members who actually contribute to the effort.

Here’s what you’ll learn at the event:

• 3 reasons employees underperform (these are not what you think)
• Why you want to support underperformers instead of punishing them or ignoring them
• The difference between an underperformer and a poor performer (yes, they’re not the same)
• How to identify underperformers before they become an issue and avoid hiring them in the first place.

To be an effective leader you need to be able to identify and manage your underperformers, or they will end up managing YOU!
