How do young people embrace project management to become leaders? How do you transition from a corporate to a startup project environment or vice versa? How do you select the mindset you belong to? We live in a highly dynamic environment where technology accelerates the pace of knowledge interactions and where young people fluctuate between complex corporate environments and lean startups. The “new normal” demands talent to handle the ambiguities.
During my session in the PMI Virtual Experience Series: 9 June, I will outline the trade-offs between a corporate and a startup project environment by giving insights from a complex supply chain design - redesign a corporate project versus a logistics project in an early stage B2B2C startup. I will compare these two relative mindsets - the corporate, which is related to fixed culture and the startup, which relates to a growing culture that suggests that every failure is a chance to learn. Growth experimentation and resistance to failure are the key outcomes to assist project managers in leading with agility in these challenging times by being customer-driven and focused on the market problem and addressing business acumen, not just being scope-driven. Using proof of concept via business models, not business plans, will transform project managers to project leaders to communicate deliverables to the stakeholders in the right manner. And we all need to support young leaders to address disruptions via the route of project innovation.
Regardless of your business, you must ask yourself the following questions:
- What is the single essential and adequate condition for a successful project or for your business in general?
- It is not a product, a technology or a customer need… But what does this practically mean for your business?
- Why young people enter the profession from different doors today?
- How the senior or C-Suite Level managers support all these new PMs...?
- What is intrapreneurship? Why entrepreneurs can exist in corporations, and why corporations need them more and more nowadays?
At the conclusion of this session, attendees will be able to:
- Differentiate between a corporate and a startup project environment by examining the insights from two supply chain and logistics projects; and
- Compare the logic of the business models vs. business plans and discuss the concepts of intrapreneurship in organizations.
Interested in learning more and furthering the dialogue? Join me on Thursday, 9 June 2022 at 8:45 a.m. EDT at the PMI Virtual Experience Series: 9 June program and take part in the question-and-answer session with me and the rest of the PM community.
