How People Get in the Way of Projects

This podcast series explores a game-changing understanding of the human mind that can exponentially increase the performance, resourcefulness and well-being for any individual or organisation. 

This episode is a little different to usual because we're not going to be focusing so upstream into the mechanics of the mind or what's before our psychology, instead focusing more downstream into the context of project management and change management and what gets in the way of organizations realising full benefits. Through a conversation with Project management specialist Jana Axaline we discuss the real world examples of how people get in the way of projects! 

The episodes covers:

• What is the difference between project management and project leadership
• What gets in the way of achieving full benefits realisation in a project
• The importance of clarity, and understanding separate realities 
• The downside of being too invested and attached to an outcome
• The difference between project management and change management
• Choosing the the right skills for the right role; technical SME .v. managing projects or change
• How to overcome change fatigue
• The false economy - organisations not investing in the foundations for successful change
