Poor project management is a common cause of disputes in technology projects of all kinds. Unrealistic expectations, lack of communication, undocumented changes in requirements, multiple parties working at cross-purposes can all contribute to disputes that rapidly escalate if they are not managed and resolved effectively and efficiently.
Our speakers, Ori Schibi and Robert MacGregor, are project management experts who have experience dealing with all of these problems. They will speak about how and why disputes arise and how effective project managers deal with them.
Following their presentations, there will be a round-table discussion on the role of mediation and arbitration in the dispute resolution process.
Ori Schibi is an entrepreneurially-minded project and change management expert with twenty years experience in financial services, IT, telecom, not-for-profit and education sectors. He is an educator, trainer and facilitator committed to collaborative working environments and results.
Robert MacGregor is the principal of Koyana Inc., which specializes in saving software projects in crisis. His methodology identifies the symptoms and causes of software project failure and applies effective countermeasures to improve project management and manage conflict.
