The Project Management Podcast show

Summary: Listen Now: {audio}http://traffic.libsyn.com/pmpodcast/PM_Podcast_244_2013_10_18_-_lindsay_scott.mp3{/audio} This episode is sponsored by The Agile PrepCast for The PMI-ACP Exam: The projects we lead are all about a group of people delivering benefits to others, so it's no surprise that the human element is fundamental to project management. Lindsay Scott (www.arraspeople.co.uk) is one of the editors of The Gower Handbook of People in Project Management, which is advertised as a complete guide to the human dimensions involved in projects. It’s a compilation of over 60 chapters about project management roles and the people who sponsor, manage, deliver, work in or are otherwise important to project success. I invited Lindsay to come on the program today and discuss just 3 of these chapters. You can look forward to not only her review but to lots of takeaways that you can hopefully apply on your own projects tomorrow. We discussed the chapters on International Projects, Cross-Cultural Relationships and Managing People in Virtual Organisations.
