Veja como você pode superar os desafios enfrentados pelos gerentes de projeto na estratégia.

Overcoming challenges as a project manager in strategy involves a few key steps. First, clearly define your project goals and ensure everyone understands them. Break down large tasks into manageable steps and set realistic deadlines. Communicate regularly with your team to keep everyone aligned and address issues early. Use project management tools to track progress and stay organised. Be flexible and ready to adapt to changes. Lastly, seek feedback and continuously improve your approach. By staying organised, communicating well, and being adaptable, you can effectively overcome challenges in strategic project management.

Effective risk analysis is crucial for project managers to overcome strategic challenges. I prioritize a systematic approach to risk management. Implementing robust risk assessment frameworks allows project managers to identify potential threats early. Utilizing data analytics tools enhances their ability to predict and mitigate risks proactively. Encouraging a culture of transparency and communication ensures that risks are promptly reported and addressed. Providing ongoing training in risk management techniques keeps managers adept at navigating uncertainties. This approach fosters a resilient and agile organization capable of achieving strategic goals despite potential obstacles.

We always say communication is key to project management, but fail in this particular subject. Communication is, for the subordinates and boots on the ground people, understanding the "why". This allows minor decisions to be made be lower level supervisors without implementing a change control method. Emails and communication get busy, but a phone call provides much more information and less confusion than an email 100% of the time. Emails are for documenting, but if a foreman is confused the project suffers and is caught weeks into the schedule.

➡️ Conduct thorough risk analysis to identify potential problems before they occur. Develop contingency plans to keep the project on track. ➡️ Assess the likelihood and impact of risks, prioritising them based on their potential to disrupt the project. ➡️ Regularly revisit and update your risk analysis to stay proactive, not reactive, to challenges. ➡️ Effective risk management enhances project stability and ensures smooth progress towards goals.

Risk analysis is the most overused buzzword in meetings without properly identifying a risk, but an action. Once the risk is properly identified you can transfer, accept, avoid, or mitigate it. Skydiving is not a risk. The chute not opening is. So it's mitigated with 3 others looking at the chute. Transferred with life Insurance. Accepted with human health and no heart defects, and avoided in high density air traffic areas. So many C levels identify activities as risk and it's wrong.

Empower your stakeholders by providing clear avenues for their voices to be heard: -Establish channels for stakeholders to share their thoughts with the project team. This may include hosting open forum discussions or promoting a digital suggestions box. - Don't wait for stakeholders to come to you. Cultural norms may make some people reluctant to share feedback. As a project lead, be sure to proactively check-in with your key stakeholder groups. -  Be flexible and make adjustments to the communication plan as necessary. The earnest request for feedback may uncover points that the project team had not previously considered. Be open to tweaking your communication plan as new information arises.

Providing access to advanced training and industry resources keeps project managers current with evolving technologies. Leveraging data analytics tools through targeted training enhances decision-making and project outcomes. Recognizing and rewarding continuous learning efforts motivates managers to engage in self-improvement. This approach ensures a dynamic, forward-thinking workforce capable of navigating complex strategic landscapes effectively.

Agile frameworks enable project managers to respond swiftly to changes and uncertainties, fostering a culture of flexibility and innovation. By breaking projects into manageable sprints, teams can continuously assess progress and make necessary adjustments. Encouraging iterative development and regular feedback loops ensures that projects remain aligned with strategic goals. This approach not only enhances efficiency but also empowers teams to deliver high-quality results in a dynamic and evolving environment.

La stratégie peut parfois être difficile à définir, entre la planification, la mise en œuvre et les effets. L'adoption de l'apprentissage continu est cruciale pour relever les défis stratégiques. Cela implique de se tenir au courant des tendances du secteur ainsi que des évolutions mondiales, d'apprendre des expériences passées et d'intégrer de nouvelles idées dans votre approche stratégique. Encouragez votre équipe à partager ses connaissances et les leçons apprises. À mon avis, cette culture d'amélioration continue peut favoriser des solutions plus innovantes et une approche de gestion de projet plus résiliente. La stratégie est une combinaison de perspectives pour réussir en réduisant les risques potentiels.

Effective leaders communicate the vision clearly, leverage team strengths, encourage innovative solutions, maintain stakeholder engagement, and create a positive work environment, all of which contribute to overcoming the challenges in resource management and achieving successful project outcomes.

Sur le terrain, dans des contextes humanitaires complexes comme en République démocratique du #Congo, au #Tchad et au #Soudan, je m'efforce parfois de consulter les anciens ou les sages des communautés affectées. Les échanges avec eux sont d'une richesse immense en termes de stratégie, de tactique et de compréhension des dynamiques. Essayez toujours de faire le lien entre les traditions, les coutumes, les pratiques locales et la vision ainsi que les objectifs de vos interventions. Vous verrez comment cela peut aider à envisager plus clairement l'avenir. Parfois, ces aspects ne sont pas abordés dans les ouvrages sur la stratégie….
