Alexander Kutuzov’s Webinar: “Decision-Making in Projects: Speed and Quality”

PM Excellence Senior Vice President Alexander Kutuzov, PME, who has 20 years of experience in managing megaprojects, explores how to avoid being overwhelmed by management decisions when resources are critically scarce.

Projects are perpetually short of time, access to experts, and management attention. Bureaucracy, protracted approvals, indecision, and fear of taking responsibility push important issues toward the deadline. The team then finds itself under intense time pressure: dozens of decisions have to be made at once, quickly and with no room for error. Yet the approaching finish line brings no additional resources — so what can be done?

Alexander Kutuzov’s key answer: do not try to speed up everything indiscriminately; set the right priorities instead. In the webinar, he explains where speed is critical, where in-depth analysis is needed, and where scarce management and expert attention should not be spent. You will learn why trying to make every decision equally quickly and with the same depth of analysis only overloads the project and slows it down.

The webinar covers:

• — what really prevents timely decision-making;
• — which decisions require speed and which call for thorough analysis;
• — where speed matters more, and where depth of analysis is essential;
• — which issues should not consume scarce senior management attention;
• — how to keep the team from repeatedly facing a last-minute rush at the deadline.

The webinar is intended for project and program managers, project management office professionals, and project team members.

Participation was free and required registration.
