Communication Tax on Projects

On today’s episode, Tom and Rick discuss communication tax on projects. From real-world troubleshooting to how to make a project run smoother, Tom and Rick will tell you everything you need to know.
The overall impact of this “tax” can affect the project’s efficiency, as maintaining consistent and transparent communication often requires additional coordination and administrative efforts. Furthermore, the effort to manage multiple communication channels, keep all stakeholders informed, and resolve any misunderstandings can lead to a significant drain on both time and financial resources, ultimately influencing the project’s budget and timeline.

Why do People Leave Transformation Projects?

At oAppsNET, Tom and Rick deal with transformation projects on a regular basis. In this episode, they discuss how they keep people together on these transportation projects and some of the essential things to consider and look out for when working on these types of projects with a team.

One major factor is unrealistic expectations. If the goals or timelines of a transformation project are set too high or are overly ambitious, they can create pressure and stress for employees. When individuals feel that the expectations placed on them are unattainable, they may become disillusioned, resulting in burnout or resignation.

Resistance to change is also a significant issue. Transformation projects typically involve new processes, technologies, or ways of working, which can create fear or discomfort. Employees who are accustomed to established methods may struggle with adapting, and without adequate support or guidance, they might leave rather than face the stress of trying to adapt to unfamiliar changes.
