I am occasionally asked by learners in my project management fundamental classes which is the most important knowledge area in the PMBOK® framework. My usual response is to say that each knowledge area is important but the emphasis and level of effort spent on each will be vary depending on the specific context of a given project. But if I was forced to choose one PMBOK® knowledge area to recognize over all others, it is Project Stakeholder Management.

Lists are great for shopping. Not great for sensemaking. When you’re in a meeting, discussing, generating ideas and solutions, planning details of how things might work, you might write down some key points: * In a list. * Like this. * And this. * Another point like this. * And more like this. While it feels efficient capturing what’s happening - sequentially - it’s not so helpful for making sense, now or later.

The tragedy of untapped expertise. How often in a meeting, you know what’s happening, you have experience to add, you’ve seen the thing, done the thing the group is thinking about or working on. yet your experience is: * Overlooked. * Ignored. * Forgotten. * Dismissed. * Excluded. * Bypassed. * Invisible? A life hack calendar on my wall has the quote: "Learning from mistakes is wise, learning from the mistakes of others is quicker and easier” Your experience is awesome and valu

Knowledge Management (KM) is broadly defined as the process of creating and sharing information across the organization. Its goal is to enable learning. KM became a formal business disciple in the 1990s even though it dates back centuries. I believe that project management follows the apprenticeship model. Throughout my management career, creating a learning environment for my teams has been a constant pursuit, and often a challenge.

We still use an archaic 18th Century practice of capturing ‘little notes’ or minutes in our meetings. in our 21st Century workplaces made up of 21st Century people. It's crazy. We're still using 18th Century meeting procedures too! Tired old structures and systems that slow things down, put us to sleep and carve away at interest and engagement.

There is power in 'collective sense'. This week I'm posting on sensemaking, the skill in understanding the deeper meaning of something. How do you do it? Write some stuff down and write it in a layout that looks more like a map rather than a list. When you do this in a meeting and other people can see that map, you start to do ‘collective sensemaking’ Making sense of things together.

Yesterday I lamented the waste of not knowing what people have experienced when they join the team. So here’s what to do: Map the expertise. Not a spreadsheet or a folder of resumes/CVs that no one will ever read. Make a map of your expertise and make it visible and available. I call them ‘experience maps’ 1. Schedule an 'experience share' meeting now. 2.

This week I’m writing about experience people have that you might be ignoring. A barrier to hearing people’s experience is often the leader’s resistance to it. - Why wouldn’t you want to know about expertise that exists in your team? - Why wouldn't you want to know this information? - Why wouldn’t you want to hear it? ‘Why don’t people listen?

I’ve been writing about the untapped expertise that lives in your team and business. It’s vital you uncover it because there’s much to be gained. Be sure to allow some time for it, like at your next meeting. Just put some time on the agenda. You could hold an entire meeting to go through everyone’s expertise, but there are other ways too.

It’s natural to want to do well at work, study, in life, to do our best. But what happens when striving for the best becomes something more; the pursuit of perfection? Perfectionism is on the rise and has dire consequences for how we think and feel about ourselves and others, how we think, live, and work. It's been seen to cause over-working, burnout, sleeplessness and mental health problems like depression and anxiety.
