The North India Chapter organized an event on the significance of reskilling on 11 January. Addressing the participants, the speaker, Jerry Reed, stated that skill gaps are a by-product of change. Quoting from industry surveys and real-life examples, he concluded that the COVID-19 pandemic and digital transformation initiatives have exposed at least five skill gaps for project management professionals. These are delivering remotely, managing new project types, transcending dysfunction, adapting to change, and expediting schedules. To address these, Mr. Reed offered a project management playbook comprising a set of five trainings (or plays) focused on different learning objectives involving hard and soft skills.These programs are:REMOTE tional intelligence: This is focused on how to deliver and inspire optimal performance from any location.It addresses communication, which is a bigger hurdle than technology.Make it manageable: Templates do not exist for new types of projects. Correct project work breakdown structure is critical.Transcend dysfunction: Addresses the five dysfunctions: Absence of trust, fear of conflict, lack of commitment, avoidance of accountability, inattention to results.Adapt and win. Adapting to change, finding levers to negotiate faster delivery dates, and using leverage with finesse and sensitivity are important skills.30 days faster. It is essential to identify the critical path, use resources efficiently, and negotiate to reduce duration of tasks on the critical path. .
