Handling the Human Dimensions of Project Working: Giving Managers the Skills to Make Projects Happen
Research consistently shows that project failures – some of them high profile and spectacular – are due to ineffective project management. This is often because the teams and individuals responsible have not been equipped with the full range of skills and competencies they need.
Project Management Development
Put simply, a project is any set of tasks planned to meet a specific objective in a defined timescale, to an agreed standard and in the most cost effective manner. Project Management is a key management skill that has developed over time, focused mainly on planning techniques and formal processes to co-ordinate and control activities. But this is not the full story. To be effective, project managers and their teams need to understand not just these formal techniques but also how to apply them within the business and organisation culture that they are working in. This means being able to handle the human dimensions of project working that so often cause projects to fail.
