Susquehanna Branch November 2019 Meeting

The PMI Keystone Chapter wants to connect with PMI members, Project Managers and the project management professional community to drive the field of project management forward in the Harrisburg area.

We hope you will join us at our regular monthly meetings to learn how you can expand your network and collaborate with us to create and share consumable content, tools and resources.

The feature presentation will be as follows:

Topic: “Power and Politics in Project Management”

"Without power, project managers can accomplish very little. As organizations and projects

have become more complex and as project managers become more dependent on more

and more persons over whom they do haveformal authority, they increasingly need power

to influence the behavior of others. There can be no argument thateffective performance by

project managers requires them to be skilled at the acquisition and use of social power."

Yourker, Robert (1991). Power and politics in project management. PM Network, 5(4), 36–40.

Consequently, the purposes of this workshop are to:

1.Study various forms of social power such as positional, informational, relational, situational etc.

2.Learn about an interrelationship between resources and power and about methods how

to create resources(and power) from scratch;

3.Introduce VRIO (Value, Rareness, Imitability, Organization) Analysis as a framework for the

evaluation ofProject Manager’s resources and capabilities; and

4.Discuss best practices for the project managers on how to acquire and use power.
