1. "Transform your project into a collective adventure"
According to studies, nearly 70% of projects or transformation program fail with regard to the initial objectives (scope, time, cost…). The analysis of root causes outlines leadership related issues: sponsorship, project management, communication, vision alignment …More and more companies have become aware how crucial engagement is and how engagement is correlated with success in organizations. This factor is even more critical in projects or programs, which trigger changes.
Here is a great opportunity for the project manager to impulse a collective dynamic leading the team and the organization to move forward together even further.
The purpose of the conference is to share an integrated leadership approach built out of many years of experience in projects. The principle is to consider uniqueness of each individual person leading to specific ways to contribute from his values in a team and in an organization. Then, combined with external leadership ways, this leadership brings higher engagement and more fun!
On the agenda: After a brief introduction of the keys, two examples of projects within international organizations will be shared to illustrate the keys, and relate to your own project. Then, you will have the opportunity to identity your main individual values to finally experience their impacts in a project team.
2. "How the flow state of athletes can inspire us in our daily job?"
High level athletes experience a special state in their success, where they feel extreme fluidity and have optimum concentration. This state is called “flow”. How can we reproduce flow conditions in our daily jobs, in team work and in projects?
On the agenda, we will first discover characteristics and conditions of the flow state; then from psychology we will move to the business area, so that everyone can find its own triggers to reach the flow state as often as possible, for higher performance and great experience.
