  • Do you struggle when a project has limited controls and processes?
  • What happens when you discover the organization takes pride in its informality and flexibility?
  • How can you as a project manager adapt without threatening the organization’s core values?

A project manager accustomed to working on projects within a hierarchical organization may struggle when faced with managing a project within a flat organization because the culture is casual with informal communication, processes, and controls.

When faced with this situation, it is important for the project manager to:

  1. Take the time to understand the organization’s culture and evaluate five commonly found flat organization characteristics.
  2. Then adapt and implement project management processes and controls that fit with the culture and can be supported by the team and
  3. Finally, rely on, and if need be, as a project manager strengthen your management, leadership and interpersonal skills that tie to the unique organizational characteristics to ensure overall project (and project management) success.

This presentation discusses the five characteristics and the related management, leadership, and interpersonal skills a project manager should consider leveraging to achieve the right amount of process–the right balance of control–to ensure project success without threatening the organization’s core values.

Teamability®:
The Ability To Connect With Others
To Form A Productive Team

Individual strengths can lead to a personal triumph,
But a team is greater than the sum of its parts.

Rich Karlgaard, Publisher of Forbes Magazine, recently wrote an article entitled “Teams Matter. Talent is Not Enough.”

In essence, it is a challenge for executives to find and exploit the ‘magic’ of team synergy.

The metrics of teaming now exist! Even the most extraordinary individual effort is no substitute for great teamwork. Teaming metrics are key to improving selection, increasing engagement, and vastly reducing new-hire turnover, all with measurable business value.

With TGI Teamabilityâ„¢
PMs will be able to create extremely strong teams.

In this introduction you will learn:

  • A completely new technology will help you understand why talented, experienced people do not always ‘team’ well with others.
  • How to reduce the costs and risks associated with errors in hiring and promoting,
    • Metrics and methods that measure and predict ‘teaming’ behaviors.
    • How to effectively analyze and solve team performance problems.
  • How to deliver significant business value by matching people to the functional mission of their team
    • The ‘who fits where’ and the ‘why’ of winning teams
    • Behaviors that impact quality of team interaction and ‘fit’ to job responsibilities
  • How it possible to reliably select high quality team players, and to match their job responsibilities to the way they envision themselves serving their team (their ‘Role’).

This is a MUST TAKE opportunity to help you understand the strengths of your team members placing them in the roles that will make your projects even more successful!

One disheartening aspect of the role of the Project Manager, which virtually no one seems to be able to overcome, is project failure.

Senior IT and business leaders have grown weary of the project failure epidemic, and are now looking to individual Projects Managers (PM)s and the Project Management Office (PMO) to do something about it. This webinar features essential advice on how you can.

Some reasons for project failure are easy to name, but this webinar reveals the 10 hidden causes of project failure that lie just under the radar of most Project Managers. Hidden problems that continue to sabotage project teams day after day.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to spot these 10 hidden reasons, and you’ll also discover effective, proven solutions for overcoming each one.

Here’s a sneak peek of the 10 hidden reasons revealed in the webinar:

  • Hidden Reason #3: Requirements errors actually getting approved and slipping into development unnoticed
  • Hidden Reason #6: Your team members being “fuzzy” on the details of your project (even though you’ve likely never heard them admit it)
  • Hidden Reason #10: Expecting agile to ‘cure’ the problem

PLUS —You’ll also receive a copy of the useful whitepaper,10 Ways Requirements Can Sabotage Your Projects Right from the Start which includes highlights from the webinar in a concise, easy-to-scan PDF.

Don’t miss this important opportunity to understand the cause of project failure in a whole new light, so you can be the one who finally gets the project failure epidemic under control at your organization. Register for this webinar now!
