Please send an New Webinar Available 5 October Unlocking Project Team Potential: Balancing the Operational and Behavioral Presented by Sid Henkin Project teams have two universal measures; 1) to satisfy the customer; and 2) to deliver on time, on budget and on spec. We do a great job of picking technically competent people with all the tried and true project management skills, yet, 53% of projects fail to meet budget and project requirements. Project Managers often believe that they are doing all the right things to create a project team that will rapidly become high performing. Far too often we are disappointed. Even when we eventually reach an acceptable level of performance, we have gone through many peaks and valleys that add too much cost to our projects. Worse yet, actions taken to get project teams back on track do not address the real causes, i.e. that projects are derailed because of behavioral rather than technical issues. How can project managers resolve the behavioral gaps in team performance as unambiguously as the technical gaps? Register for this webinar. LinkedIn Consulting SIG Members  For
those of you who don't know about the business social networking
web site LinkedIn, we think it's something worth knowing about.
LinkedIn contains profiles of all its members and enables you to
be introduced through your own network to other peoples' networks.
In essence, your personal connections (which includes nearly 200
Consulting SIG members) could connect you to literally thousands
of business people! Here's

Special
Offer PMI® New Jersey Chapter to Host International Project Management Day  The
PMI New Jersey Chapter is sponsoring an
International
PM Day celebration on 2 November, 2006.
This event will celebrate project management while extending participants'
knowledge, skills, and personal networks. Volunteers Needed The Consulting SIG and New Jersey Chapter is looking for volunteers to help setup a Consulting LIG (Local Interest Group). The goal of the LIG would be to create an opportunity for Consulting SIG members in the area to meet and network with each other. Consultants learn early that having a strong network allows them to get involved in projects that they cannot handle by themselves. This would be a perfect opportunity to expand your network and let other consultants know what you can do. Please contact
Judy Balaban,
New Jersey Chapter LIG Director at 609-520-4386 or Frank
Parth, Consulting SIG Chair for more information. If you experience problems logging into the Consulting SIG web site, please contact the Consulting SIG Administrator at administrator@consultingsig.org |
