Famous Project Manager: Katherine Johnson 🚀 Katherine Johnson, the pioneering mathematician whose calculations were critical to the success of NASA's space missions, once said, 'We will always have STEM with us. Some things will drop out of the public eye and will go away, but there will always be science, engineering, and technology. And there will always, always be mathematics.' 💭🚀 Johnson's precision and dedication remind us that accuracy and meticulous planning are key to successful project management. At Acute PMC, we help you shoot for the stars with precision and passion. 💪✨ How do you ensure accuracy in your project plans?

"Just as growth makes them nervous, so does success. Rather than celebrating it, they unpack it - to work out what they've missed, and where they could do better. Obsessing over details, scientifically analyzing anything that might affect performance. The RSC told us, "We get nervous if more than 20% of our new ideas succeed - it means they're not really new!" NASA spend two years debriefing a mission, to really understand what happened. The All Blacks found they're more likely to lose after a big win, so they work even harder when this happens. They prefer to make lots of tiny tweaks, rather than looking for large breakthroughs. As they can be more easily corrected if they go wrong, and are more difficult to imitate as they're harder to see -" - Alex Hill, Liz Mellon and Jules Goddard, How Winning Organizations Last 100 Years

If you still doubt the impact of DEI on innovation and decision making, consider that in 1984 when NASA was preparing for the first woman's space mission (Sally Ride), they packed for her 100 tampons tied like sausages... Absurd, right? Especially for a one-week mission. It exposes the pitfalls of groupthink and the need for diverse perspectives (and lived experiences) in decision-making. Homogeneous teams breed conformity, leading to oversights like this. In contrast, diverse teams foster creativity and critical thinking. They challenge assumptions and uncover blind spots, driving innovation forward. So, if you're puzzled by NASA's tampon debacle, it's probably time to reassess your team's diversity. Are you tapping into a range of perspectives?

This great program talks the real talk about how we can best work together to deliver results, not just for the benefit of our projects, but for ourselves too. Paul, Mel and Roseanna are guns.

🌟 Unified Mission: From Top to Bottom, Bottom to Top 🌟 A winning team doesn’t just work together—they share a unified mission that aligns with the owner’s goals. From top leadership to the workers on the ground, every decision should reflect the broader purpose of the project. When teams are fully aligned, trust builds, confidence grows, and owners know they’ve chosen the right partner. 🔑 The NASA Example: During a visit to NASA in 1962, President Kennedy asked a janitor what he did at the space center. The janitor replied, “I’m helping put a man on the moon.” This story shows the power of a unified mission—when everyone, regardless of role, is working toward the same goal. Imagine if your project team demonstrated that level of unity and commitment to an owner’s vision. The trust that comes from that alignment can set your firm apart in a crowded market. 🎯 Tip of the Week: Communicate the owner’s vision to every level of your team. Create a clear “mission mantra” that reflects the project’s purpose—like “Building a Legacy of Learning” for a university project. A unified mission not only inspires your team but also instills confidence in your client. 💡 #Construction #Design #BlueprintToSuccess #WinningWork #UnifiedMission #OwnerPerspective #TeamAlignment #Consulting

Dear Network, NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) is one of the most popular global agencies, critically responsible for aeronautics and aerospace research. It has fascinated and inspired many of us since its inception in 1958 with cutting-edge research, exploration, and discovery in space. This goes from launching satellites and robotic missions to exploring outer space with manned spaceflight. NASA is at the forefront of advancing our understanding of the universe, Earth, and potentially life beyond our planet. I had an opportunity to participate in a webinar and gain relevant insights into the key elements necessary to achieve excellence, illustrated through tangible examples drawn from NASA’s extensive portfolio of projects by retired Deputy Chief Technologist, Jim Adams Thank You for sharing your wealth of experience with us on NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s breakthroughs in satellites and spaceflights that enhanced our cosmic knowledge. IPMA SIG Webinar Covered: • Insightful discussions with #NASA experts on the essentials of space exploration. • Real-world examples from NASA’s innovative projects. • Interactive Q&A session for deeper insights into space research. 🛰️ This webinar offered a unique view on reaching for the stars for space enthusiasts, professionals, and the cosmos-curious.
