Ever encountered someone who frustrates you so much that you feel like you want to pull your hair, jump around the room and just scream out loud? You're not alone.
What are the main keys to keep up good and positive work flow and communication process?
Your eyes get used to the light. The light of your own and others’ certificates around… The powerful and bright present day has already come...
There probably would be no BMW without Henry Ford, no Disneyland without Walt Disney and no up-to-nowadays Walt Disney Company without Michael Eisner, as well as no Mac (on which you probably work) without Steve Jobs or no Virgin Group without Richard Branson…
But let's try to sort out this matter from its back.
Staying in the early beginning of some our Way or just of some little enterprise, what are we? We are a tiny knot of a proto-net, which can be turned into a big thing of your own accord. On the other hand, it’s possible not to think on it, or deliberately forget about it as well. There are a plenty of existing communication channels, which are already driven to us, as to a universal, global network of the all-mankind communications...
PMP certificate is an excellent chance to codify all the experience you have in the project management field. It’s true. But. It gives no guarantees of your stable professional life in future. And it’s extremely far away (in our opinion) of being the last point in your development and to be the limit of your aspirations. To obtain the certificate is not easy. Justify its presence for yourself – is unremitting toil.
It’s possible to move by the Way, being at work or in the family. This movement can even affect and permeate all aspects of our lives. In any case, there is a place for reciprocal influence between us and our environment. We were, are and will be existing and working with people as well as they were, are and will be existing and working with us.
What is this? Fate, doom, predestination?.. Or rather – quite on the contrary…
You are very much aware of the fact that you occupy such position in which your partners, customers and contractors are vitally interested to work with you honestly, and they will never take the skullduggery.
Films are shot about you. They invite you to schools as a living illustration of the tutorial for the September program…
Is it what you would have liked in your life?
Competition is a great mankind power, which can bring you towards success. It is also human’s nature, where you have to improve your strengths and overcome your weaknesses in order to survive…
We move for a long time. Or stay long, thinking that we move. Or we don’t even reflect on if we stay walking by the life, or move in a purposive direction. And there is every likelihood that we don’t think by the very reason of missing or passing by the Ways, going round, avoiding and escaping them, instead of going straight. With no blaring about it, we move slowly by wild and blind paths and pathlets. NOT Ways.
But why do we avoid the Ways?
China does develop, the Chinese internet does, and all its social networks as well. Large websites try to involve as many users as possible, often propagating the principle of “the more – the better”. But some social networks’ founders don’t chase quantity, but staking on quality
All man’s life is a calm train or rapid mixture (as one likes) of different projects. It’s not just a work, but life. Something influences us and we influence something. Or, for all that, is any “something”, first of all, the result of people’s actions, and not just circumstances juncture independent of people? We influence people through changing something in our day-to-day life. But what do we manage working in the project?
Have you ever tried to work the four together by one computer? Truly said, even the two together is already hardly convenient… And what to do if usual workdays pass mostly in collective work? And moreover – with mass of information requiring collective review, edit and discussion. There is need for a certain suitable set of tools… The number of soft/hard ware as well as interface imperfections of existing solutions on the market don’t let using them in collective work. But, we consider, here the real solution is.
What if the final goal of the project you’re carrying out is designing of the new cell phone model? At the same time, you need to use a machine as compulsory toll, which makes yield of wooden bricks with coffee cup sizes, and with the obligatory condition of full absence of verbal communication with other project participants. Is it absolutely unreal situation? Or?
Let’s imagine the situation. You manage the project. You manage any project. You manage terms, payments, and risks. What makes your management “lively”? It seems that nothing does. But what if to take a look on the situation from the other side, and to imagine your management as an influence on live people. It’s about influencing not only people you work with, but also people, whose personal reality is changing by moving toward the project’s goal.
Project communication is such communication among participants and stakeholders within work on project leading to attainment of required project eventual result and project objective carrying out. Effective communication is an indispensable result for network-centric structure of the project by LMP method.
Methodology of «Lively management of projects» is based on systems approach, implying the systems theory usage in project management. A project is regarded as a set (hierarchy) of all project participants and relations between them, consequently project management – as initiation and realization of purposeful managerial influences on all project participants and stakeholders to get project goals attained.
It turns out too often that in practice outstanding works in business come as logic result of strategic thinking and planning. But how to motivate yourself and your project team here in the way to achieve the clear and concrete goals? Maybe, one should paint oneself into a corner, and only after – start the project?
