PMI Short Course – Team Resilience

In recent years resilience has become increasingly important across all industry sectors. There are higher workloads, less resources and changing demands as organisations attempt to adapt to global competitive markets and a rapidly changing technological, political, social and climatic environment. Many of the changes we have seen in recent years have been transformational with major implications for job roles. When these pressures are combined with the increasing complexity and ‘busyness’ of everyday life, the desired responses move beyond management of stress to a need for resilience.

The new era of work makes resilience a critical attribute.

While resilience is now being recognised as an important underpinning of long-term worker health and performance, most focus to date has been at the individual level, with less attention paid to the impact of the groups in which people work. This is despite the fact that most people work in a team, or in multiple teams.

Resilient teams are robust enough to manage their role effectively yet agile enough to both respond to, and be the leaders in, change. For performance to be sustained over the longer-term, it means that team challenges need to be managed while preserving, not sacrificing, employee wellbeing. Resilience enables sustainable performance.

Join us in this short to learn about the elements and engage in a conversation that support you to bring those elements alive with your own project teams.
