Managing Projects with Risk Up Front
We are all familiar with the artifacts of project management: goals, product backlogs, schedules, charts, risk lists, etc. As project managers, we are trained to use these tools on projects, with the understanding that they increase the likelihood that our projects will be successful. But many, perhaps most of us, have seen projects fail even as project management "best practices" were humming along. The schedule on the wall does not match the reality of what is being done, the chart tells management about what has happened, but not whether the project is in trouble, and the risk list sits in a drawer, only to be pulled out afterward to explain convincingly why the project failed.
What if, instead, we begin by actively engaging with the reasons our project might fail and then use that insight to determine what we need from a schedule and which activities should be moved to the project's front. This talk will explore the relationship between commitment and risk identification, the cost of being late, and the role of language in creating committed teams that deliver faster and more reliably.

Appreciative Inquiry Management
Appreciative Inquiry focuses on the strengths of the people under management and forms processes around those strengths. This is the opposite of the conventional practices which look for deficits and seek to strengthen the skill of individuals to fulfill the deficits. The deficit focus drives negative comments which drives lower morale and turnover. A positive focus drives process changes around the good skills sets which the people possess.
Appreciative Inquiry Management, though simple in theory, is difficult to manage as it requires a shift in mindset often unattainable without coaching and feedback. It requires a strong willingness to change processes based upon the skill of the individuals within the organization. Without an agreement to provide feedback with the assumption of good intent, it is impossible to implement.

Battling Distractions During Crisis:
What’s
Your Focus?
Crisis is a distraction for everyone. It pulls us away from our life focus and towards something else. We must discipline ourselves to stay focused in times of crisis so we can stay focused in times of crisis. Are you implementing strategic plans that give you direction for today and increase your potential for tomorrow?
Anupama will share some insights into what one needs to put behind and what needs to be put before us, based on her own experience during this critical time. It’s critical that you include your team as part of your strategic thinking. Before you can implement your plan, you must make sure that you have the right people in place. If you practice strategic thinking, others will listen to you and they will want to follow you.
