Leading Projects with Agility

“Expect the best, plan for the worst, and prepare to be surprised.”
– Denis Waitley

“When the going gets tough, the tough get going.”  And in the world of organizations, they often also become project managers. 

Yet due to poor project management, fully 12 percent of resources are wasted, and only 29 percent of projects are completed on time. Worse, only 2.5 percent of companies ever complete all of their projects. (Teodesk)

It’s no wonder that one of our clients, a global automotive organization we know well, is expanding its focus on the critical need for agile project management training, especially for those accidental project managers.

After a successful initial run, they’ve decided to vastly expand and cascade training for more of their leaders and managers around the world using Leading Projects with Agility. This experiential learning program was created especially for them by Advantage Partner Andrea Konuma and learning and development specialist Rizwan Alladin and implemented in its initial run via our Cincinnati Partners Peg Ruppert and Amy Kahn. And now it’s available for you, too.

In this time of layoffs, resignations, budget constraints, and economic uncertainties, according to The Rise of the Project Manager in 2023. by the University of California-Irvine Division of Continuing Education, “Project managers are in the center of righting the ship, creating change, and making things happen.” 

“At the end of the day, we’re all project managers whether we like it or not,” Advantage President & CEO Jonathan Hodge pointed out the other day when we were talking about sharing this story with you.

Would you like to improve your organization’s success rate for project management by shoring up your leaders’ capabilities at a time when they just might need it most?
