PMI Silicon Valley: 2012 Annual Symposium (http://www.pmisv.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=247)
Global Challenges: Succeeding With Distributed Project Teams
This year’s event will bring together 23 top-notch leaders of multi-nation projects to share their accomplishments and high-performance experiences in the:
Human factors of communications
New processes and tools for managing distributed project teams
Applying change management techniques to distributed project teams and stakeholder
And many more topics of interest!
Join us and learn from masterful leaders and your peers. Come prepare to network and be mesmerized by the speakers who know what it takes to manage global teams and their stakeholders.
Global Projects: Leadership in Action
Description:Global and distributed projects require more than project management they require project leadership. Challenging global project’s opportunity for around the clock progress is that the number of teams involved multiply, one-for-one, the normal risks, issues, and personnel problems of any project. Compounding this is the exponential growth in communication difficulties, frustrations with time zones, complications from language fluency, and the invisible barriers of culture incongruity. Visualizing a project—modeling the project’s structure, behaviors, cultures, and risks—with its team members and stakeholders, exposes its unattractive elements giving the team the opportunity to discuss and mitigate them long before they become issues.
The model for this change is leadership. We will discuss three of its basic principles—autonomy, mastery, and purpose and the audience will then actively work applying these values to prototype a successful global project. Doing this, the attendees will identify the strengths and weaknesses of global projects, and, as a group, propose solutions to each problem along with methods to amplify its strengths. The open conversation and resulting action items, expose concepts that are innovative and sometimes radical, in changing the interrelationship of people, process, and the inanimate objects that constitute our projects.
