Learn To Uncover Unspoken Assumptions To Create Clarity

Here are four ways that money is being wasted on a project and most lead back to that problem of not having a clearly defined business case or requirements. Of course, I am going to say that, because as you know they are key to projects being successfully delivered.

How Your Business Is Wasting Money on Projects ?

Where you focus your attention is the difference between managing and leading. If you want to be a leader it is time to look up and trust, delegate and to work with your team to deliver your project.  Take stock of how you operate and lead to succeed in 2021.

Stop Managing and Start Leading Your Team - Shift Your Focus

Start 2021 with a project review to health check where you are at on your project journey. Then take the time to revive team spirit and get everyone excited and back on track with what you are wanting to achieve. This is an important step after this holiday period. Doing these things will only add to the likelihood of your project success. 

How To Set Your Project Team Up For Success In 2021

Let's explore only two hours of a Project Managers time to see just how many assumptions and expectations they have, during that time period. This is the reason you feel so angry, frustrated and fed up with managing projects and something that I am hoping you will learn to notice and change in order to find an easier place to work and manage our projects. #Projects #ProjectManagementTips #Business

2 Hours Of a Project Managers Time

We often see meeting agenda's as a waste of time. Here are four reasons why one is valuable and it's not for the reasons that you probably think. Let me know which reason you will find most valuable for you. #Meetings #Business #Project Management

4 Reasons Why You Need a Meeting Agenda

We don't acknowledge and appreciate our key resources enough, in my opinion. We only appreciate them when they are gone, or not they're working on our project any more. Let's explore ways to work so that we can mitigate what happens when/if our key resource moves on or leaves the project. #Projects #Business

Ways To Keep a Key Resource On Your Project

Firstly I want to ask you if you currently run a Project Kickoff Meeting? If you don't then here are the reasons why it's valuable to do so. If you do, then fantastic, here are four ways to make sure that your kickoff meetings are as successful as you want your project to be. #Project Management  #Projects #Business

4 Keys To a Successful Project Kickoff Meeting

Have you considered that undertaking ANY project is a big risk to the project and therefore what you do, as a Project Manager, is business risk mitigation? I'm guessing not. Yet it is very important that you think about your project that way and do what is necessary to mitigate the risk and deliver successful outcomes for the business.

A Project Is A Business Risk

Did you know there is a 'right' amount of conflict to have on a team to make it work effectively? Too much and it doesn't work. Too little and there's no team cohesion either. Let's talk about what is the right amount and the impact of that. #ProjectManagement #Projects #Business #Leadership

Do You Have the Right Amount Of Conflict On Your Project?

I am guessing you are looking at what a project is from the wrong angle and therefore only setting it up for failure? Why am I saying this, because most people look at a project from the outcome or delivery end, the 'how' first. What is really needed to set a project up for success is to fully understand the 'What' and 'Why'.

Are You Setting Your Project Up For Success?

Often we can have a Project Sponsor that wants everything or wants to control everything. Or maybe they are difficult by not being engaged AT ALL. In this episode, I am joined by Jennifer Jones as we talk about Jennifer's most difficult sponsor, one who wanted to know every detail of what was happening, and how she dealt with that.  And ultimately, what she learned about herself and her team in the process. #Project Management  #Projects  #Stakeholder Relationships #Management 

How Would You Deal With a Very Difficult Sponsor?

You may, or may not, have a formal project pipeline. That's okay. Let's look at the best way to manage to have any new project just dropped on you, when you already have projects, or a project, that you are working on.  Back to visibility and prioritization which I have spoken to you about before. #Project Management  #Projects #Small Business #Workload

How Do You Best Manage Your Project Pipeline

Do you fear failure, even before you have started your project?  Perhaps you notice that your fear arises during your project work? Fear doesn't work on projects. It has the effect of shutting down project success. Let's talk about why. #Small Business  #Project Management #Projects #Business

Are You Scared Your Project Will Fail?

We've shifted from the space of seeing people in the office to having them work remotely.  Do you trust that they are working and doing what they need to be doing?  It's a big shift for a lot of companies or businesses. And yet, in my experience workers who have the flexibility to work within their own time frames are more productive than needing to fit in the standard 9-5 business day. #projects #business #workoutput #projectmanagement

Do You Trust Your Teams Work Output?

There are four key things that will make a difference in how your TEAM performs and engages to get the work done for you on your project. In this episode, I talk about those four things and the difference they can make to team output. #Project Management #Projects #Leadership
