Learning Objectives Objectives: Contribution to the PM knowledge base How to make a project plan actually relevant to the individuals working on the project regardless of their allocation, location, employing organisation, or generation.

The times they are a changin’ In our business One day soon personalized medicine will be a reality

And to get there the times they are a changin’ In our organisations Wasn’t it fun when the people on our project only worked on our project? Now they are allocated to two or more One day soon personalized medicine will be a reality

The times they are a changin’ In our projects Virtual people on virtual projects

The times they are a changin’ In our projects We have to adapt, reinvent, rejuvenate, move on

Psychology
The fantasy
Once upon a time there were people who did what we wanted them to do simply because we wanted them to and it was good for us….. love a good fairytale

Psychology
The reality
It’s about me – always has been!

Generation Y The first generation to articulate self interest - and insist it’s about them

Project Management This is about the PM – old thinking

Big job – get to it This is what the people see – everything they are allocated to as one big maze We leave it up to them! Our control is an illusion.

What do I do? They decide what they will work on and when – we are left with hopegaement!

Please - make it about ME But, if we work with psychology……..and make it about each person

Please - make it about ME We’re back in control – just don’t tell them that They’re clear, we’re clear and calm and progress happens

Problem or solution? I’ll decide what I do when – who gets my share of effort I’ll follow the path you’ve made clear for me

The race is on Someone is going to solve this – might as well be us!

Threat and opportunity
Dinosaurs or nanotechnology
Problem or solution? It’s our choice and we are best placed to solve it BUT not if we keep looking at our tools as the solution – think bigger!
