Time: 12:00pm – 1:00pm
Topic: Managing Innovation in a Project Management World
*******************Synopsis********************
As project, program or portfolio managers we continually lead efforts to improve our organization’s ability to deliver our goods or services. Many, if not all, of the efforts require creative innovative thinking, yet the path to success is often littered with landmines. This presentation will discuss the need for innovation and how to instill it in your projects. By covering these major points:
- Understanding the need – making the case for innovation
- What skills are required for success
o Bottom-up vs. top-down approaches
o Gaining team involvement
o Promoting the cause
o Tools to utilize
- The Spheres of influence
- Key elements to consider and typical barriers or roadblocks that can hinder innovation
This workshop is designed to spur creative thinking from the audience on how they can lead others to innovate in their project world, providing leadership and forethought to generate an environment for a successful project outcome. I will utilize presentation content, interactive training exercises and real-life examples to emphasize the key points required to lead innovative initiatives and finish up with several case studies to reinforce the lessons learned during the session.
