How to Handle Change During a Project
The company just merged with another company. My manager of 15 years is retiring. The project budget was reduced by 20%. The project due date was moved up by two months.
​
There are many examples of changes that impact a project, the project team, and the project manager. Change happens – whether it is expected or unexpected.
​
Learn how to manage change in a project.
Lead Your Project Team to Success
Are you an accidental project manager? Does your team consist of people who do not directly report to you?
Do your team members seem uninterested about being on the team?
This classes addresses the issues that arise from a team of people with varying levels of commitment and enthusiasm for the project.
Effective Communication Exchange in Project Management
Do some of the team members seem out of the loop? Does everyone in the meeting seem to remember the outcomes slightly differently? Are the project reports lean on details?
​
This class will address the challenges of communication during project planning and implementation.
Team Dynamics Determines the Project's Outcome
Does the team seem to discuss the same issue at every meeting? Is the team’s performance lackluster? Do meetings regularly continue well past the targeted end time?
​
In the class we will explore the unconscious forces that influence a team’s performance.
How Team Diversity Leads to Project Success
Stop me if you heard this saying, “ta priest, a rabbi and a Baptist minister were asked to plan a community picnic…”. What are their similarities and differences? What preconceptions would they need to overcome to succeed in their project?
Diversity is the norm for our world. People come from different demographic populations.
Learn how to glean the best from your team by being aware and respectful of the uniqueness of each team member.
