Expected Behaviors for Team Performance
Overview
No project can succeed without a project team. More likely than not, your project will also require a number of participants from different areas within your organization. It's also highly likely you will need to involve parties from external agencies, whether they are consultants or vendors. Regardless of whom and how many you have on your team, you cannot succeed in meeting deliverables and deadlines unless you act as a high-functioning team. Focusing on simple techniques to enhance team behavior and group dynamics, this seminar reveals easy-to-adopt practices to enhance team members' awareness and accountability resulting in improved decisions, efficiency, and business results. Seminar materials include an expected behaviors toolkit and Lisa's book, Simple Solutions: How "Enterprise Project Management" Supported Harvard Pilgrim Health Care's Journey from Near Collapse to #1.
