1 00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:14,720 My wife and I have an agreement on when it comes to washing dishes that I load the dishwasher and she 2 00:00:14,870 --> 00:00:16,700 unloads the dishwasher. 3 00:00:16,700 --> 00:00:20,540 Now I have a very particular way of how I load the dishes. 4 00:00:20,540 --> 00:00:26,300 I mean I have a system down of when I rinse them and get them into the dishwasher and I'm sure she has 5 00:00:26,300 --> 00:00:31,670 a way of what she unloads first and when she puts away the silverware and so on. 6 00:00:31,670 --> 00:00:39,530 The point being that I've developed a system a way of doing the work to do that little chore an organizational 7 00:00:39,530 --> 00:00:47,720 system is that same concept but on a much larger scale and organizational system gives structure and 8 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:48,810 governance. 9 00:00:49,250 --> 00:00:51,930 It's how you get work done. 10 00:00:52,130 --> 00:01:01,490 So in your organization in your company you likely have a system that you follow in order to procure 11 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:08,370 in order to request time off in order to get a resource on your project. 12 00:01:08,590 --> 00:01:12,900 So an organizational system is from a very large point of view. 13 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:20,930 How does your organization work what's evolved over time or have been designed over time so provide 14 00:01:20,930 --> 00:01:21,880 structure. 15 00:01:21,890 --> 00:01:28,760 It also gives some governance some rules permissions are tied here so how do I do something to my allowed 16 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:29,450 to do something. 17 00:01:29,450 --> 00:01:32,130 How much authority do I have as the PM. 18 00:01:32,140 --> 00:01:36,560 So what permissions do I need work authorization. 19 00:01:36,620 --> 00:01:41,600 What's the structure that when Reisch completes his assignment. 20 00:01:41,660 --> 00:01:44,240 It allows David to start his. 21 00:01:44,330 --> 00:01:48,240 So what's the handoff there between those two team members. 22 00:01:48,260 --> 00:01:55,130 Do we have to have a status meeting and that Raj communicates to me the PM and then I communicate to 23 00:01:55,130 --> 00:01:55,830 David. 24 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,740 So what's the process there. 25 00:01:57,830 --> 00:02:01,510 Or are these two allowed to talk to each other or is it electronic. 26 00:02:01,610 --> 00:02:04,460 So what's the permissions and the work authorization. 27 00:02:04,460 --> 00:02:08,190 How do those fit together in your structure. 28 00:02:08,270 --> 00:02:13,850 What about employee discipline if we have a team member that's consistently late or consistently making 29 00:02:13,850 --> 00:02:16,630 errors or they're not doing their assignments. 30 00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:21,260 So what's the process they are you allowed to discipline that team member or do you have to go to their 31 00:02:21,260 --> 00:02:22,650 functional manager. 32 00:02:22,670 --> 00:02:28,380 If you go to H.R. or the sponsor so what's that like in your organization. 33 00:02:28,580 --> 00:02:32,990 So all of this is defined by the organization management. 34 00:02:33,260 --> 00:02:41,390 And obviously that affects what you do in the project how that affects you as the than we have system 35 00:02:41,390 --> 00:02:48,200 dynamics system dynamics is just a way of talk about the relationship between the different components 36 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,450 between the different departments in your organization. 37 00:02:51,470 --> 00:03:00,060 So sometimes system they need a mix can be you know not friendly so or it's a lot of bureaucracy feels 38 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,480 very stilted and kind of formal and stuffy. 39 00:03:04,490 --> 00:03:06,260 Other times it can be great. 40 00:03:06,290 --> 00:03:08,620 We're following we're all on the same team here. 41 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:13,350 So you give me this and I'll do this and we'll work together and get it done. 42 00:03:13,610 --> 00:03:18,770 So system dynamics us how about the relationship typically we think about between departments between 43 00:03:18,770 --> 00:03:25,340 projects but also between management and employees how employees look at you as a manager or part of 44 00:03:25,340 --> 00:03:26,270 management. 45 00:03:26,660 --> 00:03:32,420 So bureaucracy you know the red tape the forms the processes you're only allowed to do certain things 46 00:03:32,420 --> 00:03:34,940 or we don't allow that to happen. 47 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:40,610 You know bureaucracy is always kind of a pain in the neck but it's there for a reason sometimes because 48 00:03:40,610 --> 00:03:44,790 it's part of the system framework politics. 49 00:03:44,810 --> 00:03:51,210 We're going to come into play over and over you know politics are those power struggles and so on then 50 00:03:51,250 --> 00:03:55,830 tied to that we have policies their policies have been established for a reason. 51 00:03:56,060 --> 00:04:01,370 And you and the project team have to follow and adhere to those policies. 52 00:04:01,370 --> 00:04:05,720 All right good job I'll see you in the next lecture.
