An association conducted an in-depth analysis of its organizational culture, revealing challenges in cross-departmental collaboration and communication. Inconsistent involvement, varied tools, and poor communication were hindering multi-departmental projects. To address this, a dedicated team of staff, with guidance from a consultant, created and implemented a custom project management methodology tailored to their needs. This new approach prioritizes early communication and provides a forum for department heads to discuss projects before initiation, preventing conflicts and resource strains. The result has been a significant improvement in efficiency, collaboration, and organizational culture. Join us to learn about the practical steps taken and the positive impact on teamwork and project outcomes.
