Project HEADWAY: Figuring Out What Is Possible
September 17, 2026 3:00 PM EDT (UTC-4)
Platform: Zoom
Capacity: 5000
Duration: 60 min
Presenter:
Mark Mullaly
Support: Earning PDUs | Tips For Attendees
Overview
What happens when the project that you are supposed to deliver can’t succeed?
How do you recalibrate expectations? How do you navigate the dynamic tension between desired want and practical impossibility? Most importantly, how do you move forward on figuring out what is possible and can be successfully delivered?
This webinar confronts a challenge that occurs frequently, but is honestly addressed all too rarely. Projects are often saddled with unreasonable and impossible expectations at the outset, with little practical consideration of what is required in order to be able to succeed. In the face of these challenges, project managers struggle to make sense of what is real, what is possible and what is practical.
More importantly, they are challenged in how to address what isn’t real, what is not possible and what is utterly impractical. This gets further complicated when senior management doesn’t want to hear about problems, they only want solutions.
If this sounds like the world you inhabit, and you are looking for practical answers and strategies for how to succeed, this is a webinar that you won’t want to miss. It explores the challenges, identifies the opportunities and provides concrete strategies to manage and realign unrealistic expectations into a solution that might actually be possible.
