Webinar: Multigenerational Teams and Their Impact In Project Management
Multigenerational teams is a topic in which Jamie Gelbtuch, founder and principal of Cultural Mixology, and I have a very strong interest. Based on that interest we co-authored or first article featured in PMI Community Post.
This article create interest and we were asked to develop a webinar for the PMI San Francisco Bay Area. The webinar was brought the Sister Chapter Speaker Exchange Program.
Webinar description
While project managers wrestle on a daily basis with budgets, schedules and team issues, for the first time in many decades a new element of diversity is being addressed—the management of multigenerational teams.
Although the multigenerational team has always existed, project performance is being affected by misunderstood perceptions about team members’ conduct. The challenge is to reconcile generational behaviors and values to create the required project synergy. The ultimate success of a multigenerational team depends on how well a project manager is able to lead and inspire a team to not only recognize but also reconcile these differences. With a proactive approach, the project team will be able to look for similarities and leverage divergent world views. As a project manager or project team member, how are you currently facing this challenge?
Professionals who attended this webinar learnt how to:
- Recognize distinct characteristics of the four generations
- Understand different generational tendencies and perceptions that impact Project Teamwork
- Acquire tools for mastering a multigenerational mindset
Webinar: Multigenerational Teams and Their Impact In Project Management Delivered on August 25th, 2011 for the PMI San Francisco Bay Area Chapter
