Pan Industry Training 2005
This unscheduled training with no expectations turned out to be super fun and very informative at the same time.
Met different people from different industry, different personalities and chatted with each of them. Here's our photo. Too bad some of the attendees were too tired to join the dinner party.
Of all the things I've learned in this lesson I picked out several points to bring in to my day job as PM.
- One of the pitfalls of a good PM is being 100% end-goal focused, oftentimes failing to read the signs of time. How the market is doing, how the times and business constraints are changing are very important inputs to strategize.
- Pure labor, 100% effort is good but through effective planning, risk management and strategic action (mostly brought about by #1) what seems to be impossible can be possible,what seems to be unsurmountable can be threshed out without sacrificing one's health.
- Burn out often comes when we always do, when we try to do more and when we don't stop and re-assess where we are and where we should be.
- Teamwork involves not just cooperation but a mutual understanding and commitment to a goal.
- Communication is not just words, but actions, body language, thoughts said and unsaid.
