     How To Get Executives To Act For Project Success

    Presentation6 page 001Even world-class project managers will not succeed unless they get their executives to act for project success. The trap of applying best practice project management only to have the project fail because of executive inaction or counteraction can be avoided.

    This is a how-to workshop. Through instructor lecture, facilitated discussion, and in-class exercises, project managers will be able to learn how they can to get their executives to act and they will learn about the executive actions most likely to contribute to project success.

    This workshop topic has drawn overflow audiences at PMI Global Congresses and has also been featured in the PM Network magazine. Students will learn about the sources of power available to the project manager and see how a project management council can be used to amplify their power.

    This workshop draws upon recent research about top performing project managers, why executives fail, why new products fail, and how to create the basis for a strong mutual partnership between project managers and executives. A list of top ten project manager actions is included.

    What is Included in the day:

    • Breakfast
    • Lunch
    • Afternoon snack
    • Free book - How to get Project Executives to Act for Project Success
    • Free Parking
