Synopsis

HR projects are different...

We're running lean, focused on so many stakeholders, and we deal in the most intangible of assets: people, organization, and culture.

But what if the main reason we have such a hard time is because we are missing a project management mindset - and, as a result, select the wrong person to manage our projects, fail to lead for success, or even resort to self-sabotaging behaviors?

The good news is that it doesn't have to be that way. There is a structure and art to project management in Human Resources that is possible to learn, practice and master, so that our function gains credibility, confidence and a reputation for adding value to business outcomes.

In PROJECT MANAGEMENT FOR HUMAN RESOURCES, an award-winning HR project leader shares the wisdom of nearly 3 decades of getting things done in HR, paying forward the benefit of his battle scars, including:

• A project health check to highlight burning issues and potential breakdowns
• The critical criteria for selecting the right person to manage the project
• A simple, 4-stage protocol that delivers results at every stage of the project
• A stage-by-stage breakdown of techniques, tools and templates
• The 5 habits of success for HR colleagues who manage projects

Yes, HR projects are different, but that doesn't make them impossible.

Learning the structure and art of project management is the first step to getting out of our own way; freeing us to focus instead on unlocking the massive potential of people, organization and culture.
