Securing Project Success

Would you like to:

• Kick off a project so that it is set up to succeed?
• Increase staff involvement and commitment on a key project?

• Establish a proactive behavior among project team members?

Description:
Help your project team get it right from the start!  This engaging, competitive project management simulation challenges teams of participants to run a critical project, creating the highest possible business value - on time and budget. 

In just one day, participants run a simulated project through the pre-study, design, development, and implementation phases, and learn to deal with unexpected events and changing project conditions - just as in real life.  It's a great way to kick-off a new project, jump-start a stagnant one, build team relations, and provide critical insight for everybody involved.

The success of a project is often determined by the skills and commitment of the people involved.  They need to see the big picture and understand how to contribute to the project objectives.  This board-based Project Management Simulation helps people be better prepared to deal with unexpected events and changing project conditions.

During the simulation, teams of 3-4 people monitor and manage a project.  (Multiple teams can run the simulation simultaneously.)  The participants are challenged by problems and events in the different project phases.  They decide how to best use limited resources to achieve their objectives.  The performance of the teams is monitored on a range of key performance measures.  There are discussions connecting to the participants’ reality throughout the simulation.

After the simulation, the participants discuss their own projects.  They prepare themselves and assess their project conditions in terms of leadership, alignment, teamwork, and strategy etc.

Target Audience:
Individuals and teams working on critical projects.  This is a simulation for the entire project team, not just project managers. It is extremely effective in kicking off of a critical project and is intended for all types of companies across all industries. It involves all project members as well as stakeholders.  System suppliers and consultants can create successful joint projects using this project management simulation.
