Finding Meaning in Your Projects
All projects have meaning to someone. Whether they are tactical, strategic, large, small, or even fraudulent, there is meaningful work to be done in running them and guiding them well. The recent fascination of project management experts with strategy and strategic alignment is in many ways a search for higher meaning in project work. This session will help you identify and explain the meaning of your projects. It will draw on personal and well-known examples to answer questions like:
- What makes a project a success?
- Can we boast about a project, even if it "fails"?
- How does the work of project management contribute to our personal sense of mission and our organization's mission and vision?
These questions are important for our own sense of personal fulfillment, as well as understanding the meaning of our projects to our organization, senior managers, and business sponsors.
