Description: 

Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity (VUCA) influence and impact our projects and how we form our project plan, execution, delivery, and closure. The following areas will be explored as we exercise creative methods to take a head-on approach to the realities of the changing business environment.

 

Change is comfortable. Until it’s not. Good, beneficial changes are welcome and celebrated. We will examine examples of positive change and how our role, our responsibilities have changed as a result. Conversely, we consider events either with cause or effect that give ‘change’ a bad reputation. Technology is smart. A project manager can gain better visibility and insight into the state of their project and the ecosystem through technology and tools. Used in the right way, at the right time, complexity is reduced, awareness is increased, and momentum is favorable. We will look at technology tragedies as well and what we can do to avoid them. Leadership in a VUCA environment. Our projects, our teams, and our organizations need us to be the leader. Stepping up and leading in today’s environment is challenging and takes considerable effort. We will review examples of good leadership, and leadership that fell short of organizational needs. We close with ways to lead through volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity.

 

Takeaways:

  • Knowing that change will continue, let’s make the most of positive change (gain value), while minimizing the impact of adverse change.
  • Technology used in the right way, at the right time can contribute to positive business results. Technology on its own, may not add the anticipated value.
  • A good leader can make the difference between great business results, and disaster. Each one of us is a leader with the potential to make or break success.
  • Three ways to unleash your leadership power to drive value and results through any environment. (Humility, Self-Control, Relentless Focus)
