Have been moving house this week and its been a nightmare – but have had a bit of time to review the feedback i got for my TMA07 (EBI) assignment. Just wanted to capture some learning here before moving on to exam preparation!
key learning points:
– tutor mentioned a ‘personal PESTLE’, must ask him to explain a bit more.
– staff turnover should always be considered as a risk in my job!
– the OGC ‘common reasons for project failure’ framework provides a good ‘left hand column’ when creating a risk register*
– trusting change management frameworks as a way to surface the wider issues surrounding a problem is the way forward*
– use risk registers more from now on – review them on a regular basis because things constantly change*
– know your people, stakeholder management is a great tool*
– be mindful of my own communication; if/when i’m doing it, the words i use, how they might affect others, doing it too much, the message i might be conveying*
– trusted ‘others’ are a fantastic learning tool use them when you need to having done as much as you can first – don’t fall into the ‘culture trap’ – asking for help is intelligent not something that signifies incompetence!*
A great TMA for my own learning and really helped me to pull the year together – even if I did put a diagram in upside down 🙂
Thanks again to everyone that offered advice.
