Successful completion of a project is 80% art and 20% science. This seminar will focus on learning the soft skills required to be an “artist” – delivering projects on time, on budget, meeting all requirements while leaving a smile on everyone’s face.
The major points to be covered include:
– The top 10 most common mistakes a project manager makes
– Joe’s Truisms – how to overcome the common project mistakes
– Communications – what you need to know and practice
– Personality profiling yourself and your stakeholders to successfully achieve project goals
– Winning at Negotiations – with your team, your sponsors and any external resource
This seminar will use case studies and interactive activities to practice the lessons learned and review alternative approaches to
troublesome scenarios.
Learn to take your “game” to the next level by accepting and practicing these common sense, yet often overlooked, principals.
