The dynamic makeup of the Lawson team, by that I mean its members, their personalities and their skill sets encumbers the successful completion of the project.<BR/><BR/>First for a project to work it must have executive support, real support and not lip service. Managers must send people capable of answering and asking the right questions to enable their requirements to be defined, tested and solutioned. Managers must send people capable of working in a high stress environment in a cooperative manner.<BR/> <BR/>The SDHC approach was to put a husband on the project whose wife works in a position directly impacted by that work effort (and indirectly works for him) and for some SDHC managers to assign their favorite senior member of their team vs. assigning someone really capable of contributing in a project environment.<BR/><BR/>While those couple of people who could not work well in a project environment were eventually replaced (and later promoted by their departments) the husband and wife continue to wreak havoc. The husband's primary goal on the project has been to protect his wife from any negative consequences of her actions, like have 2 payroll runs go awry last spring. Needless to say she did not have to manage any more payroll runs. Another key objective was to ensure that no one outshines his wife by their own actions or contributions to the Lawson project. And how does this husband exert so much influence over the Lawson project? Well one method is that he runs both Payroll meetings and payroll sponsored meeting with other organizations. Which is odd since is not by organizational structure a member of Payroll. So it is not hard to conclude that the best place for his wife to work and for him to ensure her 'safe' environment is for her to work in Payroll. Now SDHC may offer that they she does not directly report to her husband but the reality of it is her boss does report via dotted line (operational) to her husband via the Lawson project. So now everyone one in the middle must not only manage their own responsibilities of the project but they are additional handicapped by the politics created by Dallas. <BR/><BR/>And why is this so important? Well SDHC is about to undertake an upgrade project to Lawson. Does the county really want to pay for its Project team members to remember first to watch their back first with regard to the husband / wife duo and then make those decisions that are best for SDHC?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28089922.post-1153394694895155162006-07-20T04:24:00.000-07:002006-07-20T04:24:00.000-07:00Hmm I love the idea behind this website, very uniq...Hmm I love the idea behind this website, very unique.<BR/><A HREF="http://mortgage.fabiga3.be/prime_financial_mortgage.html" REL="nofollow">»</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
