There are a lot of different ways to bring the team together for your latest project. Here are a few of them that have worked well for us over the years.
- Focus on projects that support corporate goals for that year
- If a transition is going on, pick projects at the tip of the arrow to get there quickly
- Communicate goals continuously
- In prioritization, focus on projects that have great Return On Investment or support strategic goals
- Keep senior management involved and garner their support
- Brainstorm for new ideas and refinements during the project as well as the beginning
- Report and refine on a weekly basis, even if it’s just to check things are on track
- Use collaborative tools to keep status and issues transparent to all
