Synopsis

For project managers, the impact of COVID-19 on operations has been catastrophic. A reliance on remote work has obstructed the collaborative approaches often seen within a traditional team environment. Lockdowns and border closures have caused a major disruption to supply chains, and the risk of operating a business and managing projects have skyrocketed. Stress in projects dis-empowers project managers and the team members. It creates illness, weakens communication, drains creativity, impairs project teamwork, and saps productivity. We cannot escape from or avoid the reality of today’s rapidly and suddenly changing, competitive, hi-tech project environment. The challenge is to restore a sense of power and control in our work lives. The SOLUTION is to equip ourselves with new beliefs, attitudes, and skills to not only survive but also thrive in this workplace reality with lesson learnt from Covid-19.
