This is the “Closing Q&A Webinar” for the February Book Club on Project and Program Turnaround (Best Practices and Advances in Program Management) by Thomas (Tom) Pavelko (LinkedIn profile)

About the Book:

The U.S. economy thrives on the development of new products, new systems, and new processes. Usually, these advances start as a flash of inspiration by highly creative individuals. It is complex and difficult to go from initial inspiration to a final product, process, or system.

So .. It is not surprising that approximately one out of every four development programs fails.

A development program or project in trouble is distinct from a program encountering typical development difficulties. Such a program or project can appear to be in free fall.

This book identifies the essential fundamentals for executing a program or project turnaround effectively. These fundamentals include:

• Clearly identifying the next critical accomplishment needed for success
• Assigning responsibility for each program task to one person
• Capitalizing on colocation and face-to-face communication
• Recruiting problem solvers
• Wining commitment from team members
• Using team accomplishments to propel high team morale

The guidance provided in this book is applicable to all program or project genres, including manufacturing, nonprofit work, education, medicine, investment management, and municipal management.

Software has become a great part of both providing product functionality and assisting with managing product development. A special chapter devoted to software development dispels common misconceptions and provides guidance for turning around this special type of project or program.

This book is a highly valuable source of insight for a wide range of readers, including management professionals, business students, and executive managers. Every member of a product or project development team will find its recommendations to be of high value.

Discussion Topics:

• How to target workforce digital dexterity with Office 365
• What new IT roles and responsibilities are needed
• How to institute a digital workplace program to maximize the return on Office 365 investments

In general, a highly effective technique to create connections is to focus on similarities — on what you have in common, instead of what you don’t..

This subtle perspective will have some pretty powerful effects.

This is exactly how you establish connections and relationships in your organization’s culture.

Don’t approach a person thinking about all the potential ways you could be different; instead, you naturally gravitate to similarities — to finding things you might have in common to form the basis of a relationship.

We tend to approach cross-cultural interactions quite differently, the same technique actually works just as well across cultures.

When focused on similarities, you’re open to — and, in fact, looking for — a potential connection. Perhaps it’s a challenge you accept in common with a team member.

You can discover these similarities in conversation, or even by picking up on things you notice — like pictures on a person’s desk, a coffee cup from a particular store you also like, or a passing remark someone makes about something you share in common.

The possibilities are endless, but by focusing on similarities you have the power to create connections and build relationships that either supersede cultural differences or make them irrelevant.

This results in a 2^nd stage that helps make your work meaningful.

By finding interest in the task and overcoming the feelings of meaninglessness, you help leadership to develop a conducive environment for enhanced engagement.

Learn:

• Approaches for connecting with the organization’s culture
• What impedes connections
• What meaningfulness really means
• How to enhance meaningfulness
