Team Members Best Fill with a Role Based Approach

This is a MUST TAKE opportunity – If you are setting up your own teams this provides a terrific framework to help you understand the strengths of your potential team members placing them in the roles that will make your projects even more successful. I took this session and was very impressed with the usefulness of the material and the “payoff” it provided!

When work requires close collaboration, even the most extraordinary individual effort is no substitute for great teamwork. TGI Teamabilityâ„¢ is a completely new online behavioral assessment for hiring, workforce planning, coaching, and team-building. Project Managers need to be able to create strong teams. Many teams are strongly role based and a solid understanding of Teamability will assist in choosing and developing agile team members.

The Gabriel Institute has created technology that reveals how people will perform when working with others to solve problems, overcome obstacles, and achieve common goals. In short, it measures 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. TGI Teamabilityâ„¢ identifies behaviors that impact quality of team interaction and ‘fit’ to job responsibilities: the ‘who fits where’ and the ‘why’ of winning teams. With Teamability, you can reliably hire ‘the best of the best’, identify and resolve team performance problems, and build a strong, resilient human infrastructure

There are many ways to measure skills, talents, and traits, but teaming metrics are unique. It took 25 years of research and testing – including 9 years of software development – to produce TGI Teamabilityâ„¢ reports, which are the foundation of TGI’s Role-Based Approach to selecting, structuring, managing and motivating teams.

Organizations of every type and size experience the cost and pain of human performance failings, and are highly vulnerable to the ‘collateral damage’ that results from hiring the wrong people. TGI Teamabilityâ„¢ makes 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’).

TGI Teamability was designed from its very beginnings to measure and predict the quality of a person’s team interaction.

TGI Teamability can greatly reduce the costs and risks associated with errors in hiring and promoting, while delivering significant business value by matching people to the functional mission of their team. It is also highly effective in analyzing and solving team performance problems.

This certification course is a comprehensive overview of Teamability and CHI methods. It prepares learners to provide basic support to users of TGI Teamabilityâ„¢, and to apply for an optional Certification. Certification requires passing a written examination and meeting TGI’s modest standards for ongoing participation.

Course content includes:

• Participant’s own Teamability Report at no additional cost
• Four contact hours of training, including all materials
• Readings to be completed during course attendance
• Brief written certification examination to measure comprehension of course materials and applications (optional to complete)

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!

Live Webinar February 13th, 2013 – 11:00 am to 12:00 pm EST

The human resource plan is always a core component of the overall project plan, in good times and bad. In today’s economic climate it’s even more important as more and more project managers find themselves in resource constrained organizations trying to reach the same goals and perform the same tasks with half the budget.

Those that know how to recruit the necessary talent for their projects and more importantly skillfully utilize these precious resources, will get more projects done and on time, while increasing their impact and value to the organization.

The process to “Acquire the Project Team” requires you to balance recruiting team members with the appropriate skills and knowledge, in the right amounts or numbers, at the right times to enter and exit the project.

The seven steps to resource your projects:

1. Create a staffing plan that outlines what skills are needed and when they will be utilized.
2. Practice effective networking starting by building your industry contacts.
3. Leverage organization contacts and existing vendor relationships.
4. Clarify roles and responsibilities – refocus over-allocated resources.
5. Use the bench – get the most out of people and create opportunities for stretch goals.
6. Link to organizational strategy and secure influential executives to support the project.
7. Follow a phased approach – bite off pieces that can be accomplished without breaking the bank.

This webinar will highlight seven critical steps to efficiently resource your projects.
