About our October Meeting
"Influencing Without Authority, and Navigating Through Internal Politics"
Presented by: Dr. Don Gottwald, Ph.D., PMP, CCP; Core Faculty of Capella University

Have you ever been in the position where you can't convince functional managers to release he human resources you need for your project? Or, have you ever had the solution to a vexing problem, but you couldn't get anybody to listen to you due to your position? Or worse yet, are other (and less capable) people "getting ahead" in your organization - and you're not?
Could it be that you are your own nemesis in these situations? As Pogo, in the cartoon strip once said, "We have met the enemy - and he is US!" Most of us know from training and/or experience that being successful in project work requires us to be effective in dealing with the organizational environment in which the project operates. In this highly useful program, Dr. Gottwald will help us identify the political landscape of the organizations in which our projects live (or die), will identify positive steps we can all take to improve our own style and approach, and will provide a roadmap to achieving the influence we want and need. Please make plans to hear this extremely well qualified speaker at our next meeting!
