The Creative Project Manager Book 3: Back to Life

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

Your ship has landed. Welcome home crew, you 'delivered'. Consider who originally said the latter and agreed all deliverables?

Just like assembling a wardrobe from a flat pack kit, why is there on occasions a screw left over? Was it intended or just a spare. In a worrying sense, is it an essential piece of the machinery that will at some stage be needed and sadly if in the event of a disaster later discovered to be the most critical component that had to be in place during the original installation or set-up.

The LIFE toolkit emphasises the importance of reflecting on the completed project by being honest about evaluating its true impact on all those that took part, i.e. the suppliers & client through formal documenting the final outcomes, and assessing the results achieved. It is about self-reflection just like the song, i.e.: what is the current feeling of what was achieved against the original intentions? This toolkit therefore focuses on the following elements.


- Lessons Learned and establishing a Legacy for the future - Reflecting on the project's successes, original challenges and extracting valuable insights for future endeavours.
- Impact of outcomes - Assessing the broader influence of what was achieved by a project on stakeholders and the organisation.
- Final documentation - Compiling comprehensive project documentation - It's not just about digital filing & adherence to compliance!
- Evaluation of Results - Analysing a project's performance against agreed resilience criteria. Revisiting stakeholder power, influence, and interest at the end project?

As per prior Creative Manager books, we introduce and describe key elements/characteristics of the model being introduced, with practical examples / real world scenarios supported by applicable visuals.
