On Thursday, March 26, 2009 Rodger Harding delivered a keynote to sold-out attendance of the Project Management Institute (PMI-SOC)
The Project Management Team:
The Importance of Good Intelligence in Tough Times
The presentation explored the role of the project manager/team in reading/interpreting & analyzing random clues relating to service, product, supplier & client that would potentially fuel a relevant theory that, if applied, would affect bottom line business as well as industry objectives. The critical link between intelligence, strategy & planning was also discussed.
In an interactive environment, the more than 200 delegates appeared to enthusiastically embrace ideas as to how to read people and situations with a view to predicting outcomes. It would appear that investigating unknown paths really is more appealing when the tried and tested has been seen to fail.
