1) "Project
Management . . . by the Numbers Review" In this ""Project
Management . . . by the Numbers Review” we will spend some time revisiting
the basic principles of the "Project Management . . . by the Numbers" process and "Chain of
Agreement" theory. "Project
Management . . . by the Numbers"
is a style and theory of Project Management that has been proven to be not
only be effective in the creation and follow through of projects and their
tasks, but also as a style of Project Management that promotes communication,
coordination and cooperation of project team members and project
Clients. "Chain of
Agreement" is proving what we can do with what we have and gaining
agreement with our Project Customer. 2) "Project
Frustrations and Resolutions" "Project
Frustrations and Resolutions" is often referred to as the "Project
Management . . . by the Numbers"
Problems and Solutions exercise taken to the next level of reality. In this 1/2 day
session we review and understand real-time SOPE Retail project management
frustrations from the course attendees and explore actual resolutions that
are considered practical using Senior Manager Support. The top two problems are discussed in
detail and solutions then become projects with an identified Project Manager
and Project Client. These projects are
then followed through to completion. This is an exciting
opportunity to shape the culture in which we work by using the power of the
team and our Senior Manager's support. Attendees should be
ready to answer the question; "What is your number one project
management process frustration in accomplishing your project work?" 3) "Behaviors . .
. by the Numbers" By the end of this
highly interactive session, attendees are in an excellent position to
understand the dynamics that exist within a team, either as team member or as
a team leader, and to develop the strategies necessary to understand the
different natural behavioral tendencies of the different individual
personalities on the team. "Behaviors . . . by the Numbers" employs the
popular Carlson Learning Systems DiSC Personal Profile Plan to understand our
natural behavioral profile. This
information is then translated into colors (red, blue, yellow and green) that
allow us to easily understand perceptions of behavior by, and about ourselves
and others on the team. We are truly
talking in colors by the end of the session. As a result, we will
be able to understand the composition of a team by learning to recognize
different psychological and character behaviors and will learn to use a
common language that describes the different behaviors. This will allow everyone to communicate
better with clients and colleagues alike. We will take the
everyday aspects of observable behavior from team members and use this
knowledge to develop strategies to help build strong, high performing teams. Success begins with
understanding yourself; next, to understand others, and then using that
knowledge to manage interactions between yourself and fellow team members. Course Contents:
