WHAT'S IN THIS TUTORIAL:

In addition to discussions about the best ways to launch project teams and create project culture, the tutorial will include the instructor's latest work on the reduction of time spent in meetings, and innovative communication strategies which reduce conflict.

Topics will include:

• Determining scope of work
• Team time management
• An innovative team thinking process
• Conflict management
• Tools which better enable "teaming" in a systems engineering environment

Participants are encouraged to bring meeting agendas and descriptions of actual situations to the tutorial.  Participants will be able to return to the workplace with a set of tools and immediately take practical, clear steps to build and maintain high technology teams.

Each pre-registered attendee will receive a printed copy of the course material (which is distributed on the day of the course).
