3 Ways Strategic Factors Add Risk to Projects [Video]
| Strategy plays a huge part in whether or not your project is going to be a success. Yes – things decided way above your pay grade influence the outcomes of your project. That happens through risk.

You can make virtual meetings better. This quick video shares 3 easy tips for making virtual meetings that little bit more productive for everyone. These tips came from a fantastic presentation on virtual meetings at a PMI event by Dr Penny Pullan. You can read more about that presentation here. Pin it and watch later:
