Project Management experiences, do's and don'tsTapio Järvenpää
PM Club Tampere hosted an event focused in project experiences. I shared learnings from my quarter of a century career in project management.
Good discussions. The event ended with little workshopping where attendees analysed tops and flops of project work.
My presentation has 3 parts:
1) Typical failure mechanisms or trigger points in project execution:
- vision not shared
- vision not understood
- corporate rules and policies
- problem solving by acquiring licenses
- team dynamics
- organisational misalignment
- complicated, fat governance model
2) Weaknesses or even destructive steering group work
- old working paradigms compared to actual project methods
- too long, didn't read; highest paid persons opinion
- indecisiveness
- no will to reset red traffic light, no clue how to improve situation
- surprises during meetings
- conflicts of interest slowing down project work
3) Keys to success:
- progress and development is not linear
- minimum viable product strategy accelerates learning
- there are always viable work arounds
- change adaptation is function of time
- projects need to be connected to external world, use simple and visual tools
- test your ideas, pivot one factor of your hypothesis at a time
- Deming's P-D-C-A is an useful tool for learning too
- steering group is responsible of enabling project success, one of the main tools is risk mitigation by stopping potential domino effects - risks are not isolated by nature
- skunkworks principles are still valid
As a startup founder, you probably don’t want to hear this. But if you want to accomplish wonders, you must: 9 out of every 10 startups fail. It’s not the product and not even the distribution where things tend to go sour most of the time. It’s the inner workings of your organization. To succeed, you must hack your culture with as much dedication as you pour into your products. To help you get started, we facilitate 37 hour culture hackathons. They are fun, high-energy and high-paced culture-prototyping sessions where your team develops a blueprint of a culture you need to succeed.

Two points I want to make:
(1) involve your business more than your IT, as your business has to do something they're not used to and
(2) don't over estimate the impact of blockchain, it's just a small part of your stack but especially an enabler of broad collaboration when you use it as an airbag.

How to Answer the Most Important Question In Your Interviewideatoipo
Recorded on March 20, 2024
,
In a competitive job market, landing an interview is one of the biggest challenges for job seekers. However, once you find yourself in a face-to-face interview with a hiring manager, how do you come across as the best candidate for the position?
Job interviews are all about diffusing risk. After all, a company would never post a role unless it knew it absolutely needed someone who could help them get to the next level. By chatting with prospects, the hiring manager can get an idea of existing talent on the market and what they can provide.
That's why knowing what's at stake is critical to any job you apply for. Outside of being collaborative, being technical, and having your personal stories down, knowing what matters to your bosses, colleagues, and the industry at large are key to being successful.
Learn how you can know what's at stake in your job search and learn to tell a story in your interviews that help you stand out in this webinar from Albert Qian, founder of Albert's List. Over the past 11 years, Albert's List has connected more than 50,000 job seekers, recruiters, and hiring managers to improve career outcomes.
In this video, Albert covers how you answer the most important question in your interviews, including:
Where you can go to research what's at stake for the companies you're interviewing at.
How knowing what's at stake sets you apart from the competition.
How you can use what's at stake as a part of your job interview.
Answers that stand out—and answers that will not get you to the next round.
Ongoing job search trends and where to look for your next opportunity.
Resources that can be used as job seekers conduct their job hunt.
And more!

Top Ten Legal Mistakes That Could Doom Your Startupideatoipo
Presented Thursday February 8, 2024
In this video, Silicon Valley attorney Roger Royse, partner at the law firm of Haynes and Boone LLP, summarizes the most common legal mistakes that startup companies and their lawyers make and how to avoid making those mistakes. Some of those mistakes can be rectified, but many will result in your startup company being "dead on arrival" when it comes time for funding or acquisition opportunities. Knowing what those mistakes are and how to avoid them is essential to starting and building a successful company.
Roger discusses those unique issues as well as the sometimes surprising and ever-evolving California rules, including:
1. Corporate formation and choice of entity and law;
2. Securities laws;
3. Labor and employment and why virtually every startup in California is probably out of compliance and what you can do about it;
4. Intellectual property strategies using patent, trademark and trade secret;
5. Protecting your business through agreements;
6. Protecting the founders from personal liability;
7. and more!
Roger draws on more than 30 years of startup experience in describing how to manage legal risk on a startup budget.

How to Recession-Proof Your Job Search in 2024ideatoipo
The news might say that the job market is healthy, but look around and anything but. Just look at some of the latest headlines:
Unity announced a layoff of 25% of their staff.
Duolingo, citing AI, cut most of their translation contractors.
Google, believing that its AI is ready to sell better than human beings, is about to re-organize 30,000 employees.
More than 425,000 tech workers have been laid off since the beginning of 2022.
Banking firms, noting higher interest rates and industry consolidation, cut 20,000 workers in 2023.
Even though 2024 promises to be a better year, uncertainty continues to reign. A combination of geopolitical conflicts, presidential elections, high inflation, and corporate uncertainty threatens to undo the post-pandemic recovery, sending workers down yet another roller coaster.
Be Recession-Proof
At Albert's List, we've spent the past 7 years examining the job search while serving a community of 50,000+ professionals across all career stages and types. In the process, we've developed frameworks that reveal the secrets of finding the next job while keeping the journey from becoming too overwhelming.
