Success Wednesdays: Driving Growth through Inspiring Leadership Entrepreneurial Project Management (EPM) presents challenges that can be addressed through various resources. EPM practitioners aim to streamline and enhance project management across an organization by aligning projects with strategic objectives and implementing strategies to identify conflicts, avoid duplication and recognize underfunded projects. Implementing EPM may present challenges, but startups can address them by providing training and development for project managers while establishing an Enterprise Project Management Office (EPMO) for guidance. It is also important to create an effective communication and collaboration by conducting project reviews and assessments, while using any enterprise project management software of your choice to make your work more efficient. Leveraging these resources improves project outcomes and aligns projects with overall goals, enabling efficient and effective project management through the entire organization.

Greetings! Today, I'd like to share insights on the crucial role of setting clear and decomposed goals, particularly when embarking on a new business venture to ensure its success. On April 20th, I had the pleasure of leading a master class at Nazarbayev University focused on goal setting and the use of business simulation games in project management. We explored the SMART methodology and Brian Tracy International's approach for goal analysis, which I'll be sharing here as a framework for goal setting. Understanding precisely what we aim to achieve arms us with an action plan. It directs us on the necessary steps to take and the resources we might require. This clarity simplifies managing business projects and helps avoid many potential pitfalls. How do you set goals at the start of a new project or business? I encourage you to share your methods and approaches in the comments! #GoalSetting #SMARTMethodology #BrianTracy #Startup #BusinessStrategy #Leadership some useful links: https://lnkd.in/eG-MsY_U

There is a direct correlation between transparency and trust. Growing transparency allows you to earn trust. At the starting point of every cooperation, there is some level of trust and transparency.  It's crucial to recognize that this level is never zero, as without some trust, collaboration is impossible. Transparency refers to the clarity of your processes, expected outcomes, and timelines. Enhancing transparency helps to boost trust levels. Throughout the collaboration, trust can evolve and typically progresses through three main phases: 🚀𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠: This initial phase involves gradually building transparency. As transparency increases, trust slowly grows but only reaches a high level when transparency is substantial. ➿ 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬: In this phase, both trust and transparency are high. There may be fluctuations in both, but the goal is to maintain a high level of transparency and regularly verify this with your client. 〽 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠: Although high trust might allow for reduced transparency, this can be risky. If any issues arise, trust can drop quickly. Therefore, it's advisable to always strive for high transparency. ❗ It's essential to remember that transparency is not the only factor influencing trust; delivering a high-quality product with significant value is equally important. #agile #development #outsourcing  #SDaaS  #OutsourcingUkraine #itoutsoursingforsturtup #startup  #borodinitoutsourcing #leadership #projectmanagement, #softwaredevelopment  #outsourcingsolutions

The value of good project management is often underestimated. Project management tools assist in reducing the risk and threats assigned to any project, as well as aiding in understanding, identifying, controlling, and managing the quality of the project delivered. Having one place where all components of a project (or multiple projects) can rest is important for efficiency and progress. With so much choice and all the technology that surrounds us, rule number one is to keep it simple and straightforward. So choose wisely. Download our free project management tool guide.

5️⃣ Tips for Managing Multiple Stakeholders When you work on projects with numerous stakeholders, each with their own motivations and priorities, everything can quickly become a nightmare scenario. I've navigated those stormy stakeholder waters many times throughout my career. Trust me, it's super important to have a defined process to keep everyone aligned. Steps 2 and 3 are game-changers. Gaining a deep understanding of motivations and then intentionally prioritizing allows you to focus efforts for maximum impact with key players. Will you keep all stakeholders perfectly satisfied 100% of the time? Of course not. But, if you follow a structured process, you will be able to consider all perspectives and drive towards objectives in a coordinated way. It's an ever-refining skill, but mastering stakeholder management is an absolute career-accelerating superpower. One that pays dividends over and over. #projectmanagement #stakeholders #projects #productdevelopment #startups #peoplemanagement #culture
