PMI LIVE: Improvement Projects in the Real World - The Mistakes That Cost You Months

We see this often in improvement projects. Nothing looks broken, but everything feels harder than it should be. The causes are rarely dramatic, just subtle, early, and easy to miss. Join PMI’s Damion Albinson, Laurence Restarick, and Rich Seddon as they explore what really trips up improvement projects in practice, and how small changes in how they are set up and run can save months of effort. They cover: ~ The most common failure patterns seen in real improvement projects, and why they’re easy to fall into ~ The early choices around scope, data, stakeholders, and governance that make projects harder than they need to be ~ Practical changes to help projects move faster, reduce rework, and reach decisions with less friction EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Understanding Improvement Project Mistakes (09:02) Starting with the Right Problem (17:12) The Cost of Jumping to Solutions Too Early (23:14) When Slow Processes Slow Everything Else (27:04) Impact vs. Financial Value in Business Cases (31:25) Scope Creep and the Discipline to Stay Focused (36:17) Gaining Permission and Engaging Stakeholders (42:02) Why Lack of Time Derails Projects (47:13) The Three Questions That Cut Through the Noise (54:24) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SUBSCRIBE to our channel for more episodes from the PMI LIVE webinar series, packed full of content and the latest thinking on performance improvement, Lean Six Sigma, and process management to help you on your improvement journey.    / processmanagementinternational   Don't forget to hit the bell notification to be notified when new videos go LIVE.
