Projects and processes
When staff move to a project environment, they must adopt a different set of priorities. This transition may be reasonably straightforward for junior and inexperienced staff who are moved to full-time project roles. The situation is much more difficult for senior staff. Firstly, they are likely to have more experience of a process culture and will regard it as a successful way of doing business. Furthermore, they are likely to split their time between a process culture and a project culture.
A variety of aids need to be put in place to assist staff to operate in a project culture. As your staff move along this path, they will need different levels of support and direction.
