PMI Sydney Chapter Morning Event: 16 June 2020 - Team Resilience – Creating the next edge in project delivery

Team Resilience – Creating the next edge in project delivery

In recent years resilience has become increasingly important across all industry sectors. There are higher workloads, fewer resources, and changing demands as organizations 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 the management of stress to a need for resilience.

The new era of work makes resilience a critical attribute.

While resilience is now being recognized 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.

A number of strategies can be put into place to foster the resilience of teams. Join to learn about a model for team resilience that you can use to support your project teams.

We look forward to seeing you at the event.
