| Project Management - over 30 years |
| |
Over the last three decades, organisations have spent huge amounts of time and money on all sorts of Project Management tools and techniques, project control methods, development and management lifecycles and Project Management training.
More people are being assigned to manage projects and increased time and effort is being spent on management disciplines. Why then is the project failure rate about the same as it was 30 years ago? What delivers Project Success?
Building on his over 30 years of experience with some of the most visible projects during that time, Richard will show that to achieve Project Success you have to combine hard skills, soft skills, attitudes, behaviours and 'success habits'. This 2-day MasterClass focuses on helping you to put all of these together to manage projects in a different way.
Richard can turn this Project Management MasterClass into a Keynote address for your next management meeting or conference. Just Ask! |
| Leadership - over 30 years |
| |
Leadership - an art or a science?
True leadership is based on a number of specific characteristics which all truly great leaders possess. These include things such as a high standard of personal ethics, high energy, courage, the ability to make tough decisions, an urge to create and to innovate along with many other characteristics. However, the most important one is the desire to help others succeed. A true leader is a sevant to his or her people.
Leadership is an art not a science. An effective leader in comparison to a short-term motivator has a lot to do with decisions as to how they lead their lives over the long term in relation to the various leadership characteristics. Explore the leadership characteristics with this speaker and work with him to become a person that people 'want' to work with rather than someone who people 'have' to work with. |

What is the Success Equation?
Richard is a firm believer that success in any endeavour is a combination of both 'Hard Skills' and 'Soft Skills' with 'Soft Skills' being the greater part of the success equation. In addition, managing the achievement of anything is based on about a half-dozen habits that truly great managers have developed throughout their career. These success habits can be learned through trial and error over a long period of time or they can be obtained through keying into the experience of highly successful managers.
Richard has studied and practiced successful management over almost 4 decades and has identified what he believes are the 'Hard Skills', the 'Soft Skills' and the Habits that must be practiced by managers to succeed. If you are interested in becoming a better manager than you are today, you need to hear what this man has to say. |

Directing the Project with a Project Board
Category: Project Management - Added: 04/10/09 - 329 Views.
As a Project Manager, I feel it is important to have someone or some group you can turn to when you need help to get something done either in the client’s, the user’s or the developer’s organisation.
A Killer Idea for Delivering Successful Information Technology Projects
Category: Project Management - Added: 04/10/09 - 291 Views.
Why do IT Teams start building before they have it locked down as to what it is they must build? Let’s take a look at a number of reasons why I think they do.
Stop Conducting Project Progress Meetings
Category: Project Management - Added: 04/10/09 - 309 Views.
When I'm running a Project, I want people to continually remember that we are on this project to achieve.
Identify and Track Unknowns
Category: Project Management - Added: 04/10/09 - 307 Views.
"Knowing what we don't know and tracking it is the only way to ensure that eventually we know what we don't know. Understand?"
Use Workshops to Save Time and Energy on Your Project
Category: Project Management - Added: 04/10/09 - 280 Views.
What is the one thing that most Projects lack? An abundance of time. Most Projects have a very tight schedule and anything that can be done to save time should be done, as long as it doesn't compromise on quality. One thing that can be done is to use the workshop approach when similar information is required from a number of people.
Co-locate the Project Team to Help Ensure Success
Category: Project Management - Added: 04/10/09 - 260 Views.
"I believe that managing a project without the team co-located , especially if part of the team is working at home, is about as difficult as herding cats."
Celebrate, Celebrate, Celebrate
Category: Project Management - Added: 04/10/09 - 263 Views.
One thing that I truly believe in is celebrating success on my projects. I know, a lot of projects have parties at the end of the project but I don't think that is enough.
Appoint a "Minister of Fun" on your project with the responsibility of identifying fun things to do for and with the project team.
Category: Project Management - Added: 04/10/09 - 272 Views.
"Life is too short not to be having fun."
Independent Test or Validation on IT Projects
Category: Project Management - Added: 04/10/09 - 256 Views.
I believe that a Project Manager should establish an Independent Test Team or an individual on your Project Team with the responsibility of ensuring, through the testing process, that what you are delivering meets the requirements of the client.

Category: Project Management - Added: 22/05/06 - 3572 Views.
