This document discusses effective communication in project management. It begins by outlining the importance of effective communication for project success, both internally among team members and externally with stakeholders. It then discusses some of the challenges to building effective communication. The document proposes a 5-step approach to practicing and building effective communication: 1) understanding oneself and communicating consistently, 2) understanding team dynamics, 3) understanding the project context and organizational politics, 4) building a project management information system, and 5) developing effective communication strategies. It concludes by noting that while effective communication is important, other factors also contribute to project success and depend on the specific project context.

Success in information technology (IT) projects remains elusive even after decades of efforts to improve it. Most of these efforts have focused on variations of the traditional project management paradigm as promulgated by Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK). We suspected that a potential cause of high IT project failure is with the paradigm, which focuses on the project itself and on meeting time and cost targets. A new paradigm called Value-Driven Change Leadership (VDCL) originated from discussions of a panel of project management experts. This paper briefly describes the principles of that new paradigm. It also reports the results from a survey of four project managers on the association between project success and management principles from VDCL and PMBOK.

Hi,
Project is a temporary goal that a team or an organization undertakes in order to create a unique product or service. A project different from a day-to-day activity, this is because project(s) are temporary, it will have a start, a goal, a defined objective, and a scope that must be achieved by the defined end time (Project Management Institute, n.d.). On top of the above-mentioned, projects heavily rely on the effective management of triple-constants, time, quality & cost. The key attributes of a project are that,
1. A project will always have a start and end dates
2. Requires resources from multiple teams or areas in an organization to achieve one common goal
3. Involves uncertainty and changes to scope
4. Has budget limitation that impacts utilization of resources and supplies
5. Will always need a stakeholder or a sponsor
In my experience, I learnt that he role of top management / business leadership commitment is key for a project to yield fruitful results as many projects aren’t completed due to lack of leadership support & commitment. Involvement of top management in our project helped us team in getting key decisions and changes related to infrastructure, architecture, network & operations quickly. Leadership involvement during initiation/kick-off ensured that the impacted teams that are on the other side of the organization co-operated more readily than usual. Having the top management involved in the project helped our team in getting additional resources and support when required that otherwise could have resulted in delay or even termination of the project. IT projects are filled with unique challenges in every step, some of them are,
1. Scope change in the middle of the project
2. Delivery delays due to miscommunication of scope between impacted teams (Ramachandran, 2017)
3. Remote stakeholders that make output delivery and decision-making difficult (Ramachandran, 2017)
Absence of pre-defined project management practices that jeopardizes the delivery when blockers appear (Ramachandran, 2017)

KNOWLEDGE BASE OF PROJECT MANAGERS IN THE SOUTH AFRICAN ICT SECTORcscpconf
The primary purpose of this research study is two-fold: Firstly, to establish the knowledge base
of project managers in the South African ICT Sector. Secondly, to establish whether project
management as a discipline is regarded as an important profession in the South African ICT
Sector. The paper based on a questionnaire analyses and discusses the knowledge base of
project managers of ICT organisations listed on the Johannesburg Securities Exchange (JSE) as
well as the perceived importance of project management in the South African ICT Sector. The
project managers lack some project management knowledge base in some of the nine categories
of competencies. This confirms some of the findings by Rwelamila (2007) that project
management training programmes offered by institutions of higher learning in South Africa are
skewed. This paper also established that the organisations in the South African ICT Sector
recognise project management as an important profession. The lack of some project
management fundamental knowledge base by project managers necessitate that the organisations
concerned should implement some of the following: review project management training
programmes and implement mentoring and coaching programmes. This article reveals the
knowledge base gaps of project managers in the South African ICT Sector. It also reveals whether project management is regarded as an important profession by organisations in the South African ICT Sector. It complements another research study done by Rwelamila (2007) in South Africa. It is directed to the South African organisations in the ICT Sector as well as institutions of higher learning in South Africa that offer project management training programmes.

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Cracking the Workplace Discipline Code Main.pptxWorkforce Group
Cultivating and maintaining discipline within teams is a critical differentiator for successful organisations.
Forward-thinking leaders and business managers understand the impact that discipline has on organisational success. A disciplined workforce operates with clarity, focus, and a shared understanding of expectations, ultimately driving better results, optimising productivity, and facilitating seamless collaboration.
Although discipline is not a one-size-fits-all approach, it can help create a work environment that encourages personal growth and accountability rather than solely relying on punitive measures.
In this deck, you will learn the significance of workplace discipline for organisational success. You’ll also learn
• Four (4) workplace discipline methods you should consider
• The best and most practical approach to implementing workplace discipline.
• Three (3) key tips to maintain a disciplined workplace.

22. Understand project context & organizational politics
Step 03
• Understand project
environment (internal &
external): project
scopes, goals, team
composition,
stakeholders, funding,
investment,…
• Understand project
complexity and
uncertainty (contextual
changes)
(Hanisch & Wald 2011, 11-13)
Project context
• Understand project
priorities in the
organization
• Understand the power
and interest of relavant
stakeholders (top
management, key
influencers, boss,
customers,..)
(Tirado 2013, 124-139)
Organizational politics
• To communicate
effectively with team
members and
stakeholders about
project requirements;
stakeholders’
expectations; acquiring
adequate support and
resources (Artto 2001,
224), and change
management (Hanisch &
Wald 2011, 11-13)
Outcomes
23. Build a project management Information System
(PMP 2007, 21)
War room
Step 04
A war, or control room is a facility that provides stakeholders with a
location to communicate, collaborate and brainstorm the ideas
Or shared folder
24. Build effective project communication strategies
Step 05
(Cervone 2014, 76-77)
Storytelling communication: focus “big picture”, well-designed stories
with convincing arguments
External stakeholders (customer, top managements,..)
A defined pattern of communication from the project outset to ensure good
communication among members: communication tools (meeting, video
conference, call,…), collaborative problem-solving, grounded rules of conflict
management, etc
Internal Stakeholders (team members)
26. Conclusions & Limitations
• Key success factors of PM are varied and
context-specific.
• Yet, effective communication is important for
most of the project phases
• Building effective communication should start
from understanding a sense of self first, then
with the teams and the environment, finally
with the communication system and
strategies.
• Practicing effective communication takes
time.
Conclusions Limitations
• This proposal is only focusing on practicing
effective communication in project
management
• The insights gained from personal experience in
academic projects in short-term period without
an official project manager
• To achieve project success in different types of
projects (work project or long-term projects),
other critical factors should be considered, such
as people management, change management,
project plan, etc.
