Project planning and execution in organizations is complex because of all the cross-functional interconnections and impacts associated with any one project. With HR projects typically occurring in flux throughout the year with competing priorities and workloads, HR team members who manage projects face unique challenges: limited visibility in available resources, tight timelines, and confusion about how HR projects connect to the bottom line, all while being expected to mobilize a disengaged project team over the finish line. The result of all of this? Missed deadlines, overworked project teams, and poor project quality. During this presentation, attendees will learn how to navigate through project barriers using organizational awareness, effective communication, and influence to align and inspire others.
