Description

About the topic

You are responsible for delivering a strategic project that cuts across various departments and equipment groups that have competing priorities. Your project stakeholders have different objectives, resources are shared and uncertainty is high. You are accountable for the project outcomes but you do not control the resources nor manage the people. And yet, you are expected to succeed. Sounds familiar ? 

How do effective project managers deliver results when their formal authority is limited?

In this session we will explore this paradox of project leadership and discover practical approaches using influence and alignment to create commitment in complex project environments.


Event organised by the CERN's community of practice dedicated to project management, systems engineering and program management.
