On-demand The Case For Social Project Management: 3 Imperatives That Will Drive Greater Project Success Watch it On-demand Now

As PPM methodologies spread departmentally throughout the organization, one of the greatest challenges facing business leaders is a lack of voluntary team member participation in the project management process. The traditional top-down work management approach doesn’t work with today’s workforce, resulting in

1) Project information that executives don’t trust
2) An overly structured work environment that nobody likes
3) Frustrated project teams whose accomplishments often go unrecognized

By understanding that people are the key to project management success, Social Project Management combines the power of social networking with the structure of project management to deliver more relevant information and clearer visibility into business initiatives.
