Each year, PMI’s ‘Pulse of the Profession” Reports describe the money lost because of failed projects. In 2016, for example, it showed $122 million was lost for every $1 billion spent – a large number.

In a previous webinar Dr Levin spoke about the program and project manager’s leadership role to reverse this trend. (Click for info and to register 1 PDU).

This webinar goes further and focuses on a solution – one that requires a major culture change with guidelines on its implementation.

Whether one works in a silo-driven or project-oriented organization, or is a coordinator or a full-time manager, there are many obstacles to overcome.

The key is an integrated approach – no longer can the business development staff work in isolation without active involvement from the start by program and project managers.

Further, knowledge management or knowledge transfer cannot be an afterthought for it to be successful, and it must be incorporated from the beginning.

The webinar concludes with guidelines to implement this approach in your organization. Making these changes is the way to help overcome these dismal statistics and show progress as we do so.

Our lessons learned from project teams over the past few years shows there are some common “pain points” that exist.

These show up on all types of projects and inflict pain for both the Project Manager and the Team Member.

These data show the pain points cluster around:

  • Communications,
  • Scope,
  • Time and
  • Resources.

If we dig into the root cause we can find that there are opportunities for us to fix these pain points and transform our teams into the high performance teams that we desire.
