Speaker: Doug RussellDate: Tuesday, October 14, 2008Time: 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm Place: Amplify, corner of Brockton and Burnet Overview: Product development and design projects are among the most difficult projects to successfully manage. The knowledge workers on these teams are subjected to enormous stress and often the projects still miss their goals. Doug will share his successful approach, used in three corporations, to lead knowledge worker teams to success while not burning the team out (thus allowing them to do "well work"). Doug peppers his talk with real-world stories and anecdotes and presents the information in an interactive and high energy way.
