1. The Honeymoon Phase The “honeymoon Phase” for most projects starts when the project team has formed after a bid or pursuit has been won. This is the exact time when everyone is open to learning together, and when the Project Leader Certification training can have the greatest impact for the project. Right from the beginning the team starts using the project operating system based on what they have learned (Collaborative Partnering Framework IPI Project Leader Certification Training = Project Operating System). They share a common intention, common framework and tools, common language, and a shared purpose. They will grow in their abilities to build trust and collaborate as the project rolls out, no matter what problem pops up. 2. The Disenchanted Phase Another optimal time for the Project Leader Certification Training to be given is when the project team has become disenchanted with one another. Often, when the team feels stuck they often don’t want to be stuck and are very motivated to get unstuck. This makes them open to learning how to operate with trust and collaboration and to use the frameworks and tools they will learn. Most projects that become disenchanted “go to the mattresses” (as they say in the Godfather) and start protecting their interests. This becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. The project team becomes more and more adversarial. As the team’s need to protect snowballs, so does their inability to communicate, coordinate, and solve problems. Conflict is the name of this game. This leads to a failed project and to a very frustrated and stressed team. Offering them the Collaborative Partnering Framework and training them in how to use it to create a successful project will likely be a relief, and something they can get behind. 3. The Restart Phase For some projects, there are so many changes in personnel, leadership, or scope, the project has fundamentally changed. The project team has a history together, but with all the changes they don’t have strong cohesion or trust. They may have several unsolved problems that weigh them down. Paperwork may be falling behind. People are starting to put their positions into writing. This might be just the time to restart so the team can realign, refocus, recommit, and remeasure. The team might be ready for a new way of operating. For a project in the restart phase, the team NEEDS to become more effective and efficient in working together. There is so much risk on the line that they are open to trying to figure out a better way. If it has not already happened for this team, their stress and frustration can easily shift into an "us vs them" mindset and relationships.
