Where are your project saboteurs? webinar
People adjust the truth to suit themselves and thus serve their own interests: more power, more income, more respect. Based on one’s own interest, matters are portrayed in a better light and budgets are intentionally drawn up incorrectly. All of this is done with the express aim of influencing decision-making.
Yet little attention has been paid to the art of undermining and manipulating projects. With more knowledge of the motivation and methods of project saboteurs, it could be combatted by the PMO. Which can in turn lead to large savings and better project results.
This webinar presented on Monday 2 March 2020, provided an insight on the project saboteur and explores the tools necessary to manipulate a project successfully and professionally and how to counter all this.
