Reflect on the financial/business advantages that come with embracing a more inclusive project management approach
An inclusive and multidisciplinary project team has significant competitive advantages. These include:
- Better understanding and broader vision of business issues.
- More creative and innovative in dealing with the competition.
- More willing to re-examine the facts in case of conflict or disagreement.
The team is better able to focus on the real issues at hand rather than their own emotions. As a result, there is a reduction in the likelihood of mistakes, which in turn leads to greater productivity within the company.
