Topic: The Art of 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

Learn about the art of productive laziness with Peter Taylor (LinkedIn profile), The Lazy Project Manager. Understand what is meant by the ‘productive lazy’ approach to Projects (and life) and learn how to apply these lessons ‘to be twice as productive and still leave the office early’.

This session will cover:

  • The definition of productive laziness
  • The science behind the theory (yes there really is some)
  • And Peter will share some personal learning experiences that led to the creation of ‘The Lazy Project Manager’.

In addition Peter will discuss the 3 key project stages:

  1. The ‘lazy’ project manager works very hard in the first stage
  2. Then they should be in the comfortable position of enjoying the ‘comfy chair’ safe in the knowledge that the project is well under control.
  3. A specific focus will be made on the third area, project closure, which can be done so much better with very little effort but with a significant value add for all ‘would be’ lazy project managers

The Presenter: Peter Taylor is a dynamic and commercially astute professional who has achieved notable success in Project Management.

His background is in project management across three major business areas over the last 26 years, MRP/ERP systems with various software houses and culminating in his current role with Infor, Business Intelligence (BI) with Cognos, and product lifecycle management (PLM) with Siemens. He has spent the last 7 years leading PMOs and developing project managers and is now focusing on project based services development with Infor.

Peter is also an accomplished communicator and leader and is a professional speaker as well as the author ofThe Lazy Project Manager: How to be twice as productive and still leave the office early (Infinite Ideas) and ‘Leading Successful PMOs’ (Gower).
