FUNDY REGION IIBA CHAPTER FEBRUARY LUNCH N LEARN >

Topic:

Troubled Projects – Rescue and Recovery  

Description:

There are many schools of thought on the rescue of troubled projects, with 5-step, 7-step and 10-step “programs”. This session explores some of the dynamics of rescue and recovery: signs of projects in trouble; how re-planning differs from planning; reigning in communications chaos; stopping the blame game; political resistance and power struggles; geographically and culturally distributed teams; etc.

This will be an informal inquiry drawing on our actual experiences.
