Abstract:
The Impact of Communication on System Outcomes
This high energy session introduces a ground-breaking approach to thinking about communication as a system design parameter. Successful program delivery is critical.
High performing programs, successfully delivered, power efficient day-to-day operations and drive long term, strategic growth. High performing program environments deliver
needed solutions that drive competitive advantage. However, even the most mature enterprise can fail to execute high performing programs, impacting operations, strategy
and long-term success, particularly in competitive environments. This presentation is focused on the underlying principals at work within high performing programs and a
revolutionary new way to understand and utilize the power of communication to ensure long-term success and the delivery of competitive advantage.
Learning Goals
1. An enhanced awareness of the importance of communication as a system design
element in determining technical program outcomes.
2. Case studies from U.S. Defense programs, UK civil works and global projects where
effective communication across all stakeholders led to successful delivery.
3. Case studies where ineffective communication within the program team led to
disastrous outcomes.
4. Introduction of a new, robust method for using communication to design, lead and
manage high performing programs.
