Another challenging key factor for project management is the process of creating high performing project teams.
Due to projects being considered temporary organisations, that is, they exist for a finite time period; teams are often created from different functional departments to match the criteria of the project. This can create pressure and potential conflict (Huemanna et al., 2007).

In order for teams to achieve a high level of performance there are several stages of the team development process that must be progressed through in order to establish trust and build productive team norms (Pinto, 2007). 

These stages consist of forming, storming, norming and performing.

The new year has kicked in with some vigor already. 

I sat down to do a mind map of all the business opportunities coming up in the next few months and the result resembled some sort of spider web very quickly.
Surfice to say I need to sit down and look at all the pros and cons of each opportunity focusing on ones that are in-line with my core values and my approach to business.

With all this work going on I have decided to start each and everyday by doing something creative and give my brain that morning positive boost to keep me going through the day.

I have taken up.... Origami... the Japanese art of paper folding.
