Raju Rao  says:
Our daughters’ wedding – a case study in Crisis Management!

This case study is based on a personal “project” – Raju Rao (LinkedIn profile) daughters’ wedding.

Being a certified PMP, it was but natural that we ensured that all copybook processes of project management were deployed for planning the wedding.

This included a WBS, scheduling where required, resource planning, risk management and procurement.

In that sense, it was a well-planned project and one week before the wedding we were pretty relaxed.

Little did we know what was in store for us.

The wedding dates were on 6 and 7 December 2016 and heavy rains struck Chennai in India from 1 December, many areas were flooded and its disastrous effects continued till 8 December.

In the midst of great challenges we had to conduct the wedding.

It was done against all odds considering that many weddings during the period were postponed or even cancelled.

I this session Raju will bring home the challenges faced and describe some interesting anecdotes in people behavior, procurement and leadership.

Raju will spell out inferences and Best Practices from this episode which can be applied in crisis situations in organizations or personal life.

What happens when you take project management down to its essence?

Not everyone likes and values project management. Not every organization is accepting of project management practices. Project management can be viewed as cumbersome, bureaucratic and excess overhead.

That’s not to say that project management can’t still deliver value, but the approach to doing so has to change—sometimes a lot.

You need to understand the absolute essentials, how to apply them effectively, and still sometimes manage expectations with team members and clients about how you are managing.

In this presentation Mark Mullaly (LinkedIn profile) author of Researching the Value of Project Management takes project management to its bare bones, and builds it up again into an essential framework that you can manage and use just about anywhere.

Agile found its way into project delivery with many certifications trying to define various Agile project roles. Most Agile frameworks, such as Scrum, Crystal, and XP, were conceived by developers for a small team of software developers, and the Project Manager role is usually omitted.

Unlike some specialized Agile Project Manager certifications, PMI’s Project Management Professional (PMP)® remains the benchmark for the Project Manager role with an increased focus on Agile and Hybrid practices but without compromising the predictive knowledge required to manage projects that can’t or won’t use Agile practices.

In this webinar Stelian Roman (LinkedIn profile) gives a comparative analysis of the Scrum Master, seen in some organizations as a replacement of the Project Manager role; various flavors of the ‘Certified Agile Project Manager’; and the standard Project Manager role.

The Agile Enterprise webinar series explores the impact of Agility on Project Management knowledge areas at the Enterprise Level. Attendees will learn how traditional Project Management practices can be adapted to support Agility at the Enterprise level, what the benefits of Agile adoption are, and how the benefits can be quantified.

Workplace change has never been at a higher rate or faster pace than now. PMOs, leaders and their teams grapple with multiple disruptions, from mergers and acquisitions to restructuring, pandemics, and digital transformations.

In today’s dynamic environment, being successful in change is not about being perfect; it’s about being fast and effective so you can move on to the next task or issue—the speed of execution matters.

Adopting one 80/20 action to address common project challenges is the best strategy. It gives you 80 percent of the results in 20 percent of the time.

In this upbeat and interactive session, we will discuss how you can apply the 80/20 rule to focus in on one action to navigate the tasks and common situations that Project Managers typically encounter during a transformation project.

During this webinar, participants will:

• Build awareness of how the 80/20 rule enables change management
• Review examples of how PMs can use the 80/20 approach to manage themselves, manage their work and manage others
• Identify change tasks and challenges where the 80/20 rule could apply

This webinar Nuno Gil (LinkedIn profile) will illuminate novel forms of project organizing to tackle grand challenges in emergent economies.

So ,shed light on novel forms of project organizing to tackle socio-economic problems that are so complex, uncertain, and difficult to resolve that they can often seem intractable, with an emphasis on developing countries.

Drawing from extensive fieldwork on the emergence of participatory social movement organizations that nest self-governing project teams to tackle the housing crisis in São Paulo, Brazil, Nuno will share how organizations can harness the power of self-managed projects to unleash cooperation, creativity, and adaptability without compromising internal organizational cohesiveness.

A key insight Nuno will share is how to create a virtuous architecture of participation: one where by leveraging managerial control to build order inside the self-managed project teams, the organization builds capacity for the projects to contribute to spontaneous self-organizing activities, the result of which increases the beneficial effect of self-governing projects.

Nuno will discuss implications to private and public-sector organizations which are willing to consider establishing autonomous project teams in the pursuit of solutions for grand challenges.

Attendees will gain an understanding of:

• What a self-managed project is
• The power of self-managed projects to unleash norms of cooperation, adaptability, and creativity
• How to establish self-managed projects whilst preventing chaos
• How to create a virtuous architecture of participation in organizations that seek to harness self-managed projects
• The need to create a strong identity, shared norms, and values before giving project teams decision-making autonomy
• The power of rewarding voluntary contributions of effort and time to main organizational cohesiveness
• Awareness for the future of project-based organizations

Innovation narratives and leadership are at the heart of project organizing. The ‘narrative turn’ in innovation studies focuses attention on how the meaning of innovation is socially constructed through the use of narratives and stories (Bartel and Garud, 2009; Vaara et al., 2016).

This presentation focuses on innovation narratives as important cultural mechanisms through which innovation can be sustained and promoted in organizations; these are important means for overcoming resistance to innovation and change in projects and organizations.

Innovation narratives enable organizations to achieve a shared understanding among employees and to convince a client when bidding for innovative projects, and they can be promoted more widely (Ninan and Sergeeva, 2021; Sergeeva and Winch, 2021).

Hence, leaders do need convincing narratives of innovation.

Managers construct narratives of innovation and ascribe themselves with informal roles such as leaders and champions of innovation (Sergeeva, 2016; Sergeeva and Green, 2019; Sergeeva and Liu, 2019).

They are expected to create and communicate innovation narratives for both internal employees and stakeholders.

The presentation discusses the crucial role of innovation leaders in stimulating and promoting innovations in projects and organizations. The processes of narrating and leading are connected and are important processes in project organizing.

These processes are increasingly recognized as essential for successful delivery of projects/megaprojects that impact policy-making, strategizing, the economy and society as a whole.

In this webinar, Natalya Sergeeva (LinkedIn profile) will describe Innovation narratives and leadership, and processes of leading and narrating.  Key definitions and examples will be discussed.

The presentation is based on longitudinal research studies in innovation and project management research.

The key outcomes of this webinar are:

• Exploring what innovation narratives are and how these are created, communicated and promoted in project organizing
• Learning about the impact of innovation narrative interactions at different levels
• Learning about the nature and role of innovation leaders and their innovation narratives
• Examining processes of narrating and leading in innovation process
• Exploring visioning future innovation narratives
