Presentation Description

It is vital that Human Resource Professionals understand Project Management for many reasons. First, because of the stress that the Project form creates for functional business units. Second, because of the unique organizational reporting structures that often are necessary for project success. Finally, as a tool in your toolbox when the HR Department requires a project focus to accomplish a distinct objective.

In discussions, the group will:
1. You will learn how project management fits within the larger scope Organizational Strategic Planning.
2. You will learn the difference between project management and process management, as well as when to use each.
3. You will learn the fundamental tools of project management.
4. You will learn the main causes of project failure and how to reduce the risk.
5. You will participate in a facilitated discussion that allows attendees to learn the role that organizational culture plays in project success.
