What Is Productive Laziness?

‘Progress isn’t made by early risers. It’s made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something.’ Robert Heinlein (1907 – 1988)

Watch Peter’s Presentation At InfoShare 2014 (below)

By advocating being a ‘lazy’ project manager Peter does not intend that we should all do absolutely nothing.

Peter is not saying we should all sit around drinking coffee, reading a good book and engaging in idle gossip whilst watching the project hours go by and the non-delivered project milestones disappear over the horizon. That would obviously be plain stupid and would result in an extremely short career in project management, in fact probably a very short career full stop!

Lazy Does Not Mean “Stupid”

Peter just means that we should all adopt a more focused approach to project management and to exercise our efforts where it really matters, rather than rushing around like busy, busy bees involving ourselves in unimportant, non-critical activities that others can better address, or indeed that do not need addressing at all in some cases.

Research demonstrates over and over again that the life span of the typical PMO is incredibly short. On average, about two or three years.

What that means is that the organization creates a structure, finds it wanting, and abandons it—all within an astonishingly short time period.

While the averages are sobering, however, not all PMOs suffer the same fate. Some continue. Some are overwhelmingly successful.  Not many, perhaps, but enough.

In this webinar Mark Mullaly (LinkedIn profile) author of Researching the Value of Project Management  explores what sustainable, stable PMOs do differently to reach that vaunted status.

In this webinar, participants will:

• Understand the challenges of developing PMOs
• Explore the reasons that most PMOs don’t last
• Identify the critical success factors behind PMO success
• Evaluate what it takes to make the bridge from startup to stable
