Team building
in the project management arena is often an overlooked process frequently given lip service
and rarely given time. In work environments that are highly technical,
team building process are often non-existent and these organizations often struggle with
implementing the basics of project management due to lack of buy in by the team on a number
of fronts. Organizations often overlook the fact that teams exist on multiple levels and
team building processes need to occur at all of these levels.
Excellent... Dr. Brown made me think about a wide variety of ways I can improve myself and any teams I become a part of or lead. B. Squires, Home Depot
Provided me insight as to why things happen in my office. I work in an IT Project Management Office where the biggest challenge is working with people. This session provided me new ideas to try at work. W. Hohorst, USMC
A lack of team building frequently
results in inability to resolve conflicts effectively, lack of engagement of team members,
project managers acting in short term interest of their project at the expense of the organization
and inability to deliver to cost and schedule targets. The result of the aforementioned
is usually the lack of application of a kindergarten skill. This presentation will identify
critical kindergarten skills for team building, motivate participants to implement team
building processes and recognize the “team charter” as the foundation of that
process.
