Introduction/Description:

Project managers face two competing imperatives, 1) to be as fast and efficient as possible, and 2) to improve what you do and how you do it. The first one is about being on budget, on time and on target. The second one is about doing that better than you did it last time, perhaps radically better. In other words, innovating the products you develop and the processes you use to do that.

You will learn a simple intuitive framework—a mindset—for thinking about your work, that enables that innovation. A “switch” that will make you and your team more adaptive, resilient and resourceful, as you enhance rather than compromise your efficiency.

You will:

  • Learn to recognize patterns of thinking and behavior that promote innovation, as well as the patterns that undermine it
  • Learn how to shift your mindset to become a more effective innovator and optimize the way you and your team think about the challenges you face
  • Gain actionable research-based insights into how to maximize the value you create
  • Discover strategies you can apply throughout your professional and personal life, to handle any challenge more effectively

This approach has been demonstrated to radically improve the probability of achieving exceptional business outcomes.
