Red Lion Hotel Eugene (read more about the location, opens in a new window)

In October 2009, this topic was presented by Connie Plowman at the PMI North America Global Congress in Orlando, FL.  It was the first session offered at the Congress, and the only session “sold out” in its time-slot. 

About the Topic

You will learn to build relationships with difficult team members, and to turn challenging relationships into productive ones. You will learn key techniques to problem solving that focus on successful outcomes -- not intermediate obstacles. You will learn to manage work more efficiently, focusing on quick deliverables and breaking down work accordingly. Finally, you will learn to create support through understanding, and show the team how their support will help you all to deliver bottom line results.

This fast-paced session is designed for all levels of project managers -- from small teams to complex, across complicated project environments. These 19 techniques will help you to focus on your strengths and rally the support you need to get your projects done.   Join us for this interactive learning experience!
