Topic – Antifragile Project Management starts with you!

Abstract

Project success hinges on how we handle ‘the people stuff’. Yet most of us can’t really explain ‘why people behave as they do’. In this interactive, (and quite possibly unexpected!) session Carole will draw on material from her book, Neuroscience for Project Success: why people behave as they do, published in 2022 by the Association for Project Management. You’ll come away with a clear understanding of how the human brain works and new insights into yourself, your projects and your decision making, in a world characterized by stress, chaos and disorder.  Act on them and you can develop an Antifragile Mindset.

Professional Background

Carole is an author, project troubleshooter and coach.  Her current assignments include building the UK Government’s senior change, project, and program management capability at Cranfield University. She has also worked as an international project leader, transformation director and educator.  An accredited Executive Coach since 2003, she holds an MBA and has trained in neuroscience, psychotherapy, and the arts.
