Boston area, Thur, June 26: "Generational Issues in Managing IT Projects"

***** CORRECTION: JUNE 26 (THURSDAY THIS WEEK). Invitation to attend a talk on GenX and Boomers in software development projects

I'll be giving a talk on this subject on Thursday at 6 pm. Web site readers in the area are invited to attend.

The talk is titled "Generational Issues in Managing IT Projects," and I intend to focus on issues of software development project risks and project ethics. I'll be emphasizing many of the issues that I discuss on this web site.

If you're interested, the official announcement is below.

Meeting: Boston Tech Professionals Group: Next Meeting Thursday, June 26, 6 pm

Speaker: John J. Xenakis

Topic: "Generational Issues in Managing IT Projects"

John Xenakis has been a successful IT consultant since the 1980s, and has had almost 100 clients. He also writes for his web site, http://GenerationalDynamics.com . He's seen IT project disasters caused by generational differences, and he'll give some specific examples.

John will also discuss how to address and bridge the gulf between Boomers and Gen-Xers in very positive, cooperative ways, by helping each person understand the other's view of the workplace and the world. This is an essential practice for any manager who wants to significantly reduce the risk of a project failure.
