Back From Red: Recovering Failed Projects

Estimates for the annual cost of project failure are as high as two-trillion dollars a year.  The rates for projects being at risk are in the 60-70% range, and a quarter of all project's problems are so bad they are simply canceled prior completion. However, moving from a 60% failure rate to 0% is unrealistic.  Before organizations can succeed at reducing project failure rate, they must understand what makes their projects fail.  Reasons range from methodology to human failure to poorly understood concepts to scope creep. Analyzing projects as systems uncovers all the factors that can contribute to failure.

Have you ever been awakened by a phone call in the middle of the night?

Usually not good news. We are all only one call away from a life changing experience. Remember that we define success.

In this program, Jim Morrison explains a way to define success, the importance of good communication skills in achieving that success and how the skill we use the most is the one we learn the least. Jim also shows how important attitude is in how we look at Success and how we strive for it. He also talks about that one phone call and what we can do with it.

March 13, 2012...Whenever we introduce a major change in our organization (the oftentimes lumbering elephant!) we’re likely to experience considerable “push-back” against this change. Teaching an elephant to dance is one thing. Getting the elephant to dance is quite another. In this lively and interactive seminar you’ll learn the four dimensions of organizational change readiness, assess your organization’s readiness using the Organizational Change Readiness Quotient™, and identify strategies for strengthening your organization’s change readiness. You will leave this session with a clear understanding of the key factors that influence the success of a change initiative and ideas for ensuring that your change initiative starts off on the right foot -- and that your elephant learns its first dance steps! As a special bonus, participants will also learn the eleven most common reasons why change initiatives fail—and what leaders can do to increase their success at driving change.

Where We are and Where We are Going

Project management continues to grow in importance in most organizations. The volatile economic environment is a major factor in the enhanced interest in project management and is forcing businesses to adopt cost effective, resource optimizing methods to achieve strategic goals. Project management provides the framework to meet the needs of this challenging environment. There is also a renewed interest in the advantages of a Project Management Office and in well executed and enterprise focused Project Portfolio Management.
