Thursday, 22 May 2008
Speaker: Darrell Harmon, PeopleSmart Solutions
Topic: Silence Fails: The Five Crucial Conversations of Project Management
Major business initiatives, projects and programs fail at a rate of 85 percent when project leaders fail to address one or more of five common project issues. 90 percent of project leaders routinely face these five common business issues, but only 17 percent are able to get their concerns heard and understood. This makes these issues an almost certain failure path for projects. Leaders who successfully address one or more of these five issues are 50-70% more likely to fully achieve project objectives. What are these issues?
- Fact-Free Planning
- AWOL Sponsors
- Skirting
- Project Chicken
- Team Failures
But these problem areas also show your potential to influence project success. In each of the five crucial conversations, just speaking up can make a difference and speaking up skillfully and effectively dramatically improves project success. When these conversations succeed, the impact on the course of the initiative is profound. Those who successfully address one or more of the five issues are 50-70% more likely to fully achieve project objectives — on budget, on schedule, on spec, and with intact team morale.
