What Can Children Teach Us about Project Management?

As surprising as it may seem, the art of raising children leverages many of the same skills as managing a project team.

Fostering the growth of a child’s mind requires the creation of a positive atmosphere comprised of love, trust and enablement. Similarly, in working with teams, we strive to create an atmosphere of open communication, collaboration and trust.

This webinar will highlight and examine 7 things you can learn from kids that apply to project management:

1. Play group dynamics are a lot like team dynamics
   • no one should be left out
   • we should respect the will of the group
2. To gain cooperation, timing is everything
   • never seek it on empty stomachs or after a long day
   • understanding what motivates others is the key to maintaining collaboration
3. Learning moments need to be seized and capitalized on
   • capitalize on the sense of urgency for maximum effect
4. How to combat peer pressure
   • being unique doesn’t mean you don’t fit in
5. Working through conflict means learning to work it out
   • bullying hurts everyone, especially the bullier
6. Value everyone’s talents and approach
   • not everyone learns the same or thinks the same
7. Be consistent when applying support, rewards, corrections and routines
   • it will reduce anxiety and set a pace

The best project managers know that managing the expectations, goals and objectives of key stakeholders is critical to project success.

If the stakeholders aren’t satisfied, even the most efficient and well-executed project won’t be deemed successful in the eyes of those that matter most.

The best way to ensure stakeholder needs are met is to establish them up front, along with clear and mutually agreed upon communication and project completion requirements.

By considering stakeholder perceptions while developing the project charter and project plan, you can avoid unnecessary readjustments during project execution.

In this webinar, you will learn:

• How to initiate projects that help your organization achieve its goals
• How to develop a project charter and a project management plan
• How to identify and analyze project stakeholders and determine their information needs and communication requirements
• How to manage stakeholder expectations and ensure their satisfaction

The project environment is all about creating change from something to something else. There is always an expected outcome or outcomes.

Sometimes these are defined at the start and sometimes they can change in a more agile way during a project’s lifetime.What is important is that outcomes are considered in a way that is structured and sustainable throughout the project lifetime. In discussion with two experts in their fields; Michael Dunlop (LinkedIn profile) & Kim Kapur (LinkedIn profile) (healthcare delivery and major rail infrastructure) this webinar explored how to make project outcomes more effective and ‘ecological’ in the sense of not threatening other aspects of the project or organisation by setting targets that cannot be delivered without major disruption.

A model they discuss in this webinar is the well-formedness characteristics for any outcome, as proposed in Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), which are that it is:

• -Stated in the positive
• Defined using sensory-based evidence (measurable)
• Initiated and maintained by those who want the outcome
• Preserving the positive by-products of the present state
• Appropriately contextualised to surrounding ecology

The expert panel shared their experience of setting and achieving outcomes, and how to avoid pitfalls.
