Social Project Management Workshop

Social Project Management

A project is a temporary endeavour where people come together to work towards a common goal and purpose; it is therefore a temporary endeavour that must rely on a social system of communication and collaboration in order to succeed.

Social project management is a non-traditional way of organising projects and managing project performance and progress aimed at delivering, at the enterprise level, a common goal for the business but harnessing the performance advantages of a collaborative Community.

There is a paradigm shift ongoing in many organisations that is about finding a practical balance between the challenges to traditional project management made by Project Management 2.0 - which encouraged a move away from centralised control of projects and instead promoted the value of team collaboration – and the practical recognition that large scale projects do require a stronger form of centralised control and governance.

Who should attend?

The remote workshop is directed at anyone leading projects or leads a community of project managers, and who are keen to understand, and be prepared for, the transformation towards Social Project Management.

Benefits

You will learn about the paradigm shift to ‘Social Project Management’ and what the benefits are, as well as the challenges and opportunities.

At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Clearly describe the Project Management 2.0 world and the progression towards Social Project Management
• Understand the benefits of a decentralized and collaborative project world
• Appreciate what a project manager needs to understand about harnessing this social world and what the obstacles can potentially be, and how to overcome them
• To have ‘top ten’ list of things to do and to avoid when taking your project team ‘social’
