76. Culture and Fit from the 2020 UMD Symposium

This episode, the first in a series featuring highlights from University of Maryland's 2020 Project Management Symposium, focuses on culture and the importance of fitting in. We examine the hiring process, and maintaining a culture designed to retain top-notch staff. We also learn about a unique approach to stakeholder management. By observing organizational culture through an ethnographic lens, PMs can detect patterns and probabilities, and address potential gaps before they become serious roadblocks to project success. Host Kendall Lott delves deeper into these topics with the presenters from the UMD Symposium. Listen, learn, and get a free PDU! PDU Information
