C-189 Initiating a Project in a Small Business Ed Kless @edkless
description
This session will be dedicated to the possibility that in small organizations or teams, projects are rarely initiated properly and thereby achieve less than optimal results. Initiating internal projects properly is hard work and not for everyone, as it requires us to think differently from how we have in the past. You are hereby invited to open a dialogue about how best to initiate new projects in your small organization by Ed Kless who will facilitate this session.
