Identify and analyse the challenges experienced in the project (explicitly address the challenges in moving from the status of project into operations).
As the project is still in the construction phase, the responses will address challenges encountered during the project lifecycle and not operational challenges.
Clinical Engagement Consultation Challenges
The project has experienced considerable challenges in relation to the consultation process with the vast array of Clinicians and user groups. The outputs from the multilayered consultation process will ultimately determine the model of care that will be delivered in the new Royal Adelaide Hospital (nRAH).
The consultation process occurred during the concept and design development phases

Environmental Challenges
The project team identified the challenges with remediation of the contaminated soil to the rail-yards with the old railway lines and infrastructure removed.
Once the contaminated soil was removed, the foundation piles were installed. Over 2,000 piles were installed into the ground, with each individual installation managed as a distinct project.
The drilling process of up to 30 metres meant the site had challenges with differing geological properties such as rock, sand and water (News Corporation, 2014) and disputes over contaminated soil and remediation are estimated to cost the government in the order of $80 million in contract variations and a 5 month programme impact.
Contractual and Team Challenges
There has been much speculation reported in the media about the breakdown of relationships of the project team with the project at crisis

A resilient leader will take on problems in his / her stride. When a leader encounters a problem, they will be able to influence the outcome and see it as an opportunity to move the project team to respond in the same light. "Out of the uncertainty and chaos of change, leaders rise up and articulate a new image of the future that pulls the project together." (Bennis, 1997)
Fundamentally, the project leader will have the ability to communicate with people at all levels and act as to team’s link to the wider organisation. A strong leadership team will be the mouthpiece to ongoing and essential conversations with key stakeholders. Additionally, the project leadership team will have the skillset to negotiate and influence to uphold the success of the team and project (Barry, 2012).
In such a complex environment, first-rate problem solving skills and the ability to influence are non-negotiable properties in ensuring project success.
Identify opportunities for improvement in the management of the project’s
These project managers are also examining teamwork for ways to improve project success. However, since the benefits of leadership behaviors can be rather intangible, this has slowed or prevented the implementation of leadership theories. Accordingly, the impact of leadership behaviors on project performance has been one of the major issues for both industry and academic fields (Keller, 1992; Kendra and Taplin, 2004; Turner and Muller, 2005). In order to understand the benefits, there is a need for quantification of the benefits derived from leadership behaviors. Research on leadership behaviors and theirs associations with project success should offer tangible evidence of advantages from adopting a certain leadership style (Giritli and Civan, 2008). There is a need for more comprehensive empirical evidence that evaluates the benefits associated with the project manager's leadership style and, more specifically, its associations with project success. This study attempts to fill this void of empirical evidence by identifying the associations between leadership style and project success. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of the leadership style on project success and to examine the mediating role of Team stability in the relationship between leadership performance and project success. In other words, the analysis shows the relationship between
Today’s resiliency leader requires unique skill sets to be successful in any organization. Leaders who capture leading by example, vision and helping others weather the storm have taken the first step to success. Followers seek the following key concepts to validate their need for the organizational structure. Visionary leaders look at the big picture of the organization, and they pave the way of future endeavors. Another concept that is equally important to a leader’s vision is leading by example. When the leader introduces the vision into an organization, they need to lead the way by setting the example of what they vision should look like. They must hold themselves and their subordinates accountable for the stage set. Lastly
...y, a leader cannot control every aspect of the team or project working on, ergo an effective leader must understand this and adapt their leadership mind to different scenarios. Even the most inspired and passionate team still experiences rough patches no matter what the leader does. The best thing an effective leader can do in this situation is to remain professional and keep a tranquil attitude.
In meeting our organizational mission and values in the growing health care system our clinical success depends on coalescing with the intensified awareness of our patients’ needs, meeting demands for new technologies, training issues continue to drive the demand for innovation and space driven by the planning of moving to a new location for the long-term care facility. After careful planning and costing, however, it proved too expensive and financially impractical and unfeasible. This encouraged the facility project team to examine more closely at optimizing the existing facility, effectively involving the stakeholders in identifying opportunities for the renovation needs, processes and efforts, and developing and adopting a plan. The adopted
This discussion will focus on leadership as described by Robert Dees in The Resilience Trilogy, Resilient Leaders text. The points made in the book can be personally related. The three most important concepts learned from chapter 1 and 2 are tribulation, risk management, and selflessness. It is crucial for anyone is seeking to delve into leadership that everything will not happen as planned all the time. After a leader experience failure, knowing the avenues to take to regain a solid footing is also key to successful leadership. Often leaders who are unaware of available resources fold and give up. In the military profession, when someone gets knock down they get up brush themselves off and get back in the fight.
The leadership is a privilege and it is such a privilege and an honor which will carry the tremendous responsibility which will inspire others to direct them to accomplish goals and vision of the organization. Leadership is about influencing the people, by producing direction, purpose and motivating in order to accomplish the mission, vision and improving the organization. The leadership philosophy is evolved based on the experiences, both positive and negative, in most of the initiatives and activities that we undertake. It is also one among the collaboration and teamwork within which the team members can utilize each other’s strengths to counter the weaknesses of the individuals. By observing, introspecting and experimenting we can developed a leadership paradigm which is inclusive, collaborative and proactive. We can develop the ability to recognize which will approach in order to reach the productive conclusion. The great leaders know their limitations and are capable at utilize their strengths and also the strengths of others to compensate.
The area of team leadership attracts a lot of attention in the modern world because of the need to assemble and deploy diverse teams for the completion of projects. The future of many corporations relies more and more on the kind of team leadership they have for their projects. This paper explores a number of facets that constitute effective team leadership.
In the globalized economy, Successful project managers are in much demand across many industries. Organizations strongly need experienced project managers to lead their staff to accomplish their business goals and deliver successful projects. In an increasingly complex environment, project managers need to turn into many roles and have all kinds of responsibilities at each level of management within an organization. Good project managers are not born. They need to be trained. They develop their skills through study, practise and experience. They become better project managers after they finish a successful project each time. They learn new techniques and apply them on their projects. They learn their lessons from failed projects and then improve to be better project managers in the future.
... although we may never be able to understand exactly what soil failures can occur when a natural disasters take place, as time goes on and testing instruments and materials advance we will hopefully have a better understanding of what we can do to avoid soil failures and come up with a better and more sufficient method of improving the soils structure and strength permanently. While researching the information for this report I feel I have a much better understanding for construction geo-technics and foundations especially regarding the deformation, liquefaction and pile information related to this specific event. I hope to carry the information I have learned from this event into the construction field and apply them towards an authentic project that’s taking place and know that the information, regarding soils, I have given input on will be precise and accurate.
Leadership is the ability to influence individuals to make them want to achieve the objectives of the group the importance of leadership. It is the link between the workers and the organization's future plans and perceptions. It is working to unify the efforts of workers towards achieving the goals set. Control over the work and draw the necessary plans to solve problems. The development of individuals and their training, care and motivate them. The ability to increase individual development and humanitarian and practical
...he solution. Instead the solution is to develop richer and more complex processes of accomplishing the leadership tasks. Project Managers facing a complex challenge should focus on how to set direction for the team, create alignment between them, and generate their commitment and ignore how many people are, or are not, leaders. Making the accomplishment of the leadership tasks at the core of leadership raises new questions: What are the barriers or obstacles project managers should clears in order to set a clear direction, create an effective alignment, and generate a solid commitment? What resources exist in the organization that project managers could tap in for creating direction, alignment, and commitment as a complex challenge is being tackled? Answering these kind of questions can assist organizations avoid the traditional problems of distributed leadership
If a leader achieves to solve a problem, actually he has demonstrated in the same time his/her entire capacities in his/her entire work. Imagine that you are a leader and you should deal with the problem. The first thing to demonstrate is the optimism. The followers need direction and a pessimist attitude is the worse behavior during this moment. The leader must inspire the subordinates being resilient. The resilient personalities of leaders are more necessary than ever during the problem solving. The followers need courage to continue, and they “spy” every movement of leaders, every body language of them, every single note, and every short message.
Over the course of my professional life, I have become increasingly involved in project management roles. Doing so has made me aware of the many varied challenges that can face projects and the project managers who are charged with bringing them through to completion. The success or failure of projects, in whatever economic, political or social field, rests not just on the quality of the project’s goals, but also on the abilities of those involved in the project – and above all those who are managing it – to bring it to successful completion. To do this, project managers need to be equipped with a very wide range of skills, many of which are unrelated to the type of project itself. So, for example, a project manager of an engineering project must not only have engineering
Project management involves all activities that encompass scheduling, planning, and controlling projects. A successful project manager ensure that an organization’s resources are being used both efficiently and effectively. Most projects need to be uniquely developed require a sense of customization and the ability to adapt to any posed challenges. The scope of effective project management includes defining what the project is and what is being expected to be accomplished. Projects are imposed to fulfill a certain need and project managers must have the ability to create the proper definition. Goals and the means used to attain those goals have to be clearly stated. Project Managers must also have the ability to plan
When planning a new project, how the project will be managed is one of the most important factors. The importance of a managers will determine the success of the project. The success of the project will be determined by how well it is managed. Project management is referred to as the discipline that entails the processes of carefully planning, organizing, controlling, and motivating the organization resources so as to foster and facilitate the achievement of specific established and desired goals and meet the specific criteria of success required in the organization (Larson, 2014). Over the course of this paper I will be discussing and analyzing the importance of project management.
