Essential Skills for the Unofficial Project Manager

| 09:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Today’s knowledge workers have quietly slipped into the role of the unofficial project manager. Stakeholders, scope creep, no formal training, and a lack of process all combine to raise the probability of project failure costing organizations time, money, and employee morale. Project management isn’t just about managing logistics and hoping the project team is ready to play to win. The skills of “informal authority” are more important than ever before, so team members are inspired to contribute to project success! This engaging course will help provide the mindset, skillset, and toolset to participants that will consistently deliver successful projects to completion.

4 Disciplines of Execution | 4 Contact Hours | In-Person

Cost/fee: $0
This interactive course guides you in removing the distractions of the day-to-day tasks in your day job and being able to focus on ‘Wildly Important Goals' and execute these excellently. This course helps managers move from strategy to execution. The objective of the 4DX process is to teach leaders how to help their teams execute on their highest priorities in the midst of the whirlwind of the day-to-day. We find that by not just teaching 4DX to leaders, but teaching them to teach and implement the process with their teams, they “own the process” at a deeper level and the results are often groundbreaking.
