SESSION DESCRIPTION: Critical Thinking Skills and Methods for Continuous Project Improvement - An objective, measurable process for discovering project cost-avoidance opportunities and leveraging repeatable efficiencies.
In 2003, Kathleen (see Bio below) began to leverage extensive group facilitation training to develop a comprehensive, objective, consistent methodology for post-project review sessions. The sessions create measurable benchmarks for the teams which can be tracked and improved upon over time. Each session also reports unidentified / unmanaged risk patterns and/or repeatable efficiencies, which are quantified in the session. This allows each project to understand the related dollar-values of those innovated efficiencies or risks. This methodology has a follow-on processes (a second full day workshop) to ensure that corporate lessons are embedded in the organization, and organizational roadblocks to success are identified and managed.
Workshop #1 - Planning and conducting the session, generating reports
In this day-long session, you will be shown a complete method for conducting sessions and generating session reports.
The workshop includes:
- Stakeholder analysis techniques for identifying attendees

- Strategies and techniques for ensuring fair representation and fair data collection
- The difference between Project Closure data and critical thinking session results
