From Technical to Exceptional: Transform to Outperform and Make Your Mark

How much you know doesn’t matter if people aren’t listening to you.

Whether you’re a Project Manager, or an IT Expert, getting recognized for your problem-solving ability and getting your expertise used means the difference between frustration and satisfaction.

Have you wondered why people hire experts but don’t seem to listen to them?

Have you ever been frustrated because you had the solution to a problem, but nobody was listening? Have you felt that people in your organization don’t appreciate the depth of breadth of knowledge you bring to the table? It can be even harder as a Project Manager trying to find your way through Power Skills, Business Acumen, and the concepts of Strategic and Business Management.

In From Technical to Exceptional, Andrew Zeitoun brings industry-shifting findings from his decades of studying IT project failures; and they don’t just apply to technology or projects! Some of them include:

• If you don’t have your Stakeholder engagement right, your project management methodology is irrelevant (at best!)
• There is no such thing as technology project. Believing in the idea of a technology project sits somewhere between a waste of money and a fundamental risk to the business.

Whether you follow some Project Management methodologies (like PMI(R) or PRINCE2(R)) or not, From Technical to Exceptional will guide you through the process of getting your knowledge and expertise recognized and your voice listened to, in whatever role you hold.
