Clear communication inside and outside the team is one of the biggest factors in project success. This 60-minute project management webinar for non-project managers focuses on how to communicate project actions and progress so people understand what you mean.
Using case studies and examples, it starts with the communication model and the barriers that get in the way of understanding. You'll then learn how to work out the communication style each group of project participants needs, since some need a different approach than others.
The session ends with the success factors that help the messages you send and receive be understood as intended.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Whatever the cause, poor communication raises project risk and makes failure or painful setbacks more likely. The Pulse Report estimated that up to $135 million is at risk for every $1 billion spent on projects, with $75 million of that tied to poor communication.
Engineers, product, program, contract and project managers, R&D staff and anyone on a cross-functional team who may lead a project will learn to communicate clearly and turn vague messages into actionable information.
