Project Management after the Meltdown

I think everyone will agree it has been a very tough 2 years for Project Managers.

  • Budgets cuts
  • Projects terminated
  • Staff laid off
  • Increasing demands from business users

  1. It has been a sea change for survival in the market for thousands of businesses. There have been credit crisis, doomsayers, bail outs, and more bail outs. The political and strategic debates over the perfect solution in the perfect storm are numerous.
  2. What will really work to restore the market that your projects are meant to support? Are you projects still implemented based on a leading corporate strategy or are they reactive in nature, leaving you and the project team feeling weak, emasculated, and uncertain about your own career choices?
  3. Were you one of the millions of knowledge works laid off by your mothership corporation? What do to do? Where to go? Fetal position?
  4. Did you find a career/life coach? Did you join a trusted business network or some social media network in hopes of finding the next right thing?
  5. Did you actions take on the pall of victim, or did you pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and get back in the game? Are you on the road to recovery? Do you think the global market economy is on the road to recovery? Do you see any corporate manipulations? Do you see any governmental manipulations? Do you know what the solution is?
  6. Would you care to share about your survival experience? If you do, email me at rick@eprojectsource.com and lets have a chat about what your format and content could do to help others in the Project Management business.

Regards,

Rick
