Good projects intentionally gone bad is a reality in every business. Every management project has opponents who try to manipulate it for their own gain, and they are frequently successful.

This is often denied or hidden and PMOs need to learn how to deal with this.

In 2017, only 29% of software development projects were considered to be successful, meaning that these projects delivered on time, on budget, with a satisfactory result. 52% of the projects were listed with the qualification “challenged” and 19% failed completely (Standish Group Chaos Report 2017). With approximately $665 billion spent worldwide on IT projects alone, this means that $126 billion goes down the drain each year due to project failure.

People adjust the truth to suit themselves and thus serve their own interests: more power, more income, more respect. Based on one’s own interest, matters are portrayed in a better light and budgets are intentionally drawn up incorrectly.

All of this is done with the express aim of influencing decision-making.

Yet little attention has been paid to the art of undermining and manipulating projects. With more knowledge of the motivation and methods of project saboteurs, it could be combatted by the PMO. Which can in turn lead to large savings and better project results.

In this webinar Dion Kotteman provides an insight on the project saboteur and explores the tools necessary to manipulate a project successfully and professionally and how to counter all this.

Presenter: Dion Kotteman (LinkedIn profile) author of The Project Saboteur… And How To Kill Him, runs his own company, specialised in C -level and IT advice, and lectures at two universities. Dion was the Dutch central government’s CIO, held senior directors positions at several banks and is now a non-executive member of the board of an insurance company. He advises many companies and organisations like Deloitte, Dutch Railroads, City of Amsterdam, CGI and the Dutch Royal Airforce. He holds masters from the Wharton School of management (US) and Nyenrode University (NL).

1. Can you adopt sustainable project management practices while adding value? 
2. Can one Project Manager make a difference?
   

The answers are Yes!

Sustainable project practices are about more than “being green”.  Sustainability requires that we look beyond the scope, schedule, and budget of the temporary project and consider the larger “Triple Bottom Line” that projects operate within.

The triple bottom line evaluates performance in a broader perspective considering economic, ecological, and social impacts otherwise known as the 3Ps – Profit, Planet, People.

As the agents of change in organizations, Project Managers, are uniquely positioned to identify and lead the change that impacts your “Triple Bottom Line” while creating greater business value.

​Using today’s linear economic model we take finite resources, create products and then dispose of them.  This “take, make, dispose” linear model is no longer sustainable.

​Upon completion of this session, you will be able to:  

• Describe sustainability and the “Triple Bottom Line”.
• Compare the linear and circular economic models.
• Explain circularity to stakeholders.
• Analyze projects in the context of the circularity.

Learn how you as a Project Manager can shift towards the circular economy model where we “make, use, reuse, remake, and recycle”.
