WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.560 In a world where business moves at lightning 00:00:02.560 --> 00:00:05.440 speed, clinging to outdated methods and rigid 00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:09.580 processes is no longer an option. Many rules 00:00:09.580 --> 00:00:12.740 that once guided project management have become 00:00:12.740 --> 00:00:17.079 barriers to innovation, creativity, and success. 00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:20.879 And that is why I am here to shake things up. 00:00:21.420 --> 00:00:24.000 There's an urgent need to rethink how we get 00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:26.699 business projects done. It's not enough to simply 00:00:26.699 --> 00:00:30.289 follow the playbook written decades ago. We need 00:00:30.289 --> 00:00:34.369 to examine every rule and scrutinize them with 00:00:34.369 --> 00:00:38.109 fresh eyes. Which rules still serve us and drive 00:00:38.109 --> 00:00:41.229 success? Which ones need to be tweaked to fit 00:00:41.229 --> 00:00:44.329 the realities of today's fast -paced, ever -changing 00:00:44.329 --> 00:00:47.909 business environment? And, most importantly, 00:00:48.149 --> 00:00:52.750 which rules should we discard altogether because 00:00:52.750 --> 00:00:56.149 they no longer work? Welcome to a brand new podcast 00:00:56.149 --> 00:00:59.229 called Ignoring the Rules with Wayne Robertson 00:00:59.229 --> 00:01:02.090 where I don't just question the status quo, I 00:01:02.090 --> 00:01:28.170 shake it up. I want to welcome you to a podcast 00:01:28.170 --> 00:01:31.489 that is more than just about projects. It's about 00:01:31.489 --> 00:01:35.010 people. The old way of doing things often neglected 00:01:35.010 --> 00:01:37.969 the most important part of any project, the team. 00:01:38.769 --> 00:01:41.569 Today, it's clear that team members are the backbone 00:01:41.569 --> 00:01:44.689 of every successful endeavor. Their creativity, 00:01:45.069 --> 00:01:48.909 energy, and well -being are their real drivers 00:01:48.909 --> 00:01:52.689 of project success. I'm here to explore how putting 00:01:52.689 --> 00:01:56.230 people first. before the process, before the 00:01:56.230 --> 00:02:00.670 deadlines, and before the rules can lead to remarkable 00:02:00.670 --> 00:02:04.329 outcomes. I'm so proud to introduce this new 00:02:04.329 --> 00:02:06.829 podcast that has been several years in planning 00:02:06.829 --> 00:02:09.689 based on my almost 40 years of working in projects 00:02:09.689 --> 00:02:13.969 for large, medium, and small companies. I've 00:02:13.969 --> 00:02:17.090 been so blessed to have a rich, wide variety 00:02:17.090 --> 00:02:19.909 of experiences that many were very successful 00:02:19.909 --> 00:02:24.439 and some were just painful problems. So join 00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:27.199 me as I dive deep into the strategies that really 00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:30.500 work in today's business world. I will share 00:02:30.500 --> 00:02:33.599 stories, insights, and actionable advice on how 00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:35.780 to create a project environment where innovation 00:02:35.780 --> 00:02:39.580 thrives, team members feel valued, and success 00:02:39.580 --> 00:02:43.319 becomes the norm. It's time to break free from 00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:45.719 the constraints of the past and build a new future 00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:48.520 for project management, one where the rules we 00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:51.439 follow are ones that truly make a difference. 00:02:52.300 --> 00:02:54.860 If you work on your projects in your organization, 00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:57.819 whether you are an executive, middle management, 00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:02.180 or at the line level, this podcast will change 00:03:02.180 --> 00:03:06.060 your whole perspective. You can make major accomplishments 00:03:06.060 --> 00:03:09.599 and successes by making a few changes to your 00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:12.180 work. In this podcast, I'm going to lay out some 00:03:12.180 --> 00:03:15.240 new methodologies that I have proven will change 00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:18.460 how to get projects done. I worked on a wide 00:03:18.460 --> 00:03:20.800 variety of projects in large and small companies, 00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:23.620 managing teams to get a wide variety of projects 00:03:23.620 --> 00:03:28.020 done. And so I won't pull any punches. I'm a 00:03:28.020 --> 00:03:30.400 little weird at times, but that keeps it very 00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:33.979 interesting. Socrates made the famous statement 00:03:33.979 --> 00:03:40.039 in 359 BC, the unexamined life is not worth living, 00:03:40.219 --> 00:03:42.759 where he believed the love of wisdom was the 00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:46.219 most important pursuit above all else. Well, 00:03:46.569 --> 00:03:49.129 My version of that is the unexamined methods 00:03:49.129 --> 00:03:52.810 will cause the project to go poorly. Now, not 00:03:52.810 --> 00:03:56.250 nearly as eloquent, but I believe totally accurate. 00:03:57.150 --> 00:04:00.409 If you work for a for -profit company, non -profit 00:04:00.409 --> 00:04:03.409 organization, or government agency, the info 00:04:03.409 --> 00:04:06.590 in these episodes will be very helpful. Whether 00:04:06.590 --> 00:04:08.810 you're a line -level employee, middle management, 00:04:08.949 --> 00:04:12.189 or upper management, there will be new ideas 00:04:12.189 --> 00:04:16.240 that'll be helpful.
