Project managers and project teams are facing unprecedented pressure to accelerate their projects – to do more with less. But traditional PM tools and techniques may actually hinder attempts to accelerate projects. Furthermore, accelerated projects amplify the role of the project manager as a leader – out front leadership that clears the path for the project team and serves as the linchpin for keeping tightly coupled tasks working in harmony.
The charts in this deck are a subset of the charts from a presentation titled “Leading Accelerated Projects” by Dr. Lon Roberts. They speak to the project leader’s responsibilities and also provide an overview of the Eight Acceleration Opportunity Levers (tm) that the author has used in his consulting practice to help clients achieve order-of-magnitude improvement in project cycle time. Leading Accelerated Projects is also the title of his forthcoming book.
Dr. Roberts is available to deliver engaging presentations on this timely topic. Executive briefings and 1- and 2-day workshops are also available. Contact information is provided on the charts if you wish to obtain a quote for fees or to book Dr. Roberts for a presentation, workshop, or executive briefing.
