Organizational culture, remote teams and project management

Our personal belief system and governing values have a tremendous impact on how we enter into and maintain relationships. When it comes to culture, we allow those personal frameworks to take a back seat to allow something that is bigger than ourselves to flourish.

Great topic.
The created culture from leadership is only part of the battle. It takes dedication and structure from each teammate to remain focused on their responsibilities to the team and not fall to the distractions of "remote" workforce. Many times over the past several weeks, I have heard, I am working remote & don't have, can't do or can't find responses. Not acceptable.

Dear Thomas
Thank you for sharing your opinion with us

What makes you say that I have a negative idea of ??a cross-selling strategy?

When I became PMP, PMI was a reference for Project Management professionals

The PMBOK Guide was updated to include the knowledge that was developed in the Project Management discipline.

You know, better than me, how the knowledge creation process was generated and consolidated

PMI's positioning has changed (or rather it is changing)

Well Luis,

you wrote that cross-selling would be the new strategy (which it is not) and takes prty over adding value to the profession. Sounds negative to me.

I do not share these your opinions and do not see supporting facts for them.

Like for you, 20 years ago the PMP was the reference for me too. Although it was updated along with the PMBoK Guide every 4 years since 1996, the basic structure stayed the same.

For some years now we experience that Leadership becomes more important for success and the agile movement becomes more popular.

And several other problems arose, like size of PMBoK, digitalization, practical use etc..

So yes, I believe it is overdue for a major overhaul to stay relevant.

The world has changed, and beloved things need to adapt to be useful in the future.

I share some of your and others concerns about how this is done.

I am not convinced that "...we allow those personal frameworks to take a back seat..." I believe as leaders we use "our belief systems and values" to positively influence the team culture to enhance the potential for team success which translates to project success. Does that mean we are manipulating the evolution of team culture - yes, that's why we are the leaders.

The Mission, Principles and Values shape our behaviors (ours and our teams).

Behaviors contribute to the organization's positioning

I admit, however, that my rationale may be wrong.

Nothing like time to know what's going to happen ... (as we don't have a crystal ball :-))

The big question is:
- Do we model or do we allow ourselves to be modeled?
