  In a world where business moves at lightning
• 0:02
  speed, clinging to outdated methods and rigid
• 0:05
  processes is no longer an option. Many rules
• 0:09
  that once guided project management have become
• 0:12
  barriers to innovation, creativity, and success.
• 0:17
  And that is why I am here to shake things up.
• 0:21
  There's an urgent need to rethink how we get
• 0:24
  business projects done. It's not enough to simply
• 0:26
  follow the playbook written decades ago. We need
• 0:30
  to examine every rule and scrutinize them with
• 0:34
  fresh eyes. Which rules still serve us and drive
• 0:38
  success? Which ones need to be tweaked to fit
• 0:41
  the realities of today's fast -paced, ever -changing
• 0:44
  business environment? And, most importantly,
• 0:48
  which rules should we discard altogether because
• 0:52
  they no longer work? Welcome to a brand new podcast
• 0:56
  called Ignoring the Rules with Wayne Robertson
• 0:59
  where I don't just question the status quo, I
• 1:02
  shake it up. I want to welcome you to a podcast
• 1:28
  that is more than just about projects. It's about
• 1:31
  people. The old way of doing things often neglected
• 1:35
  the most important part of any project, the team.
• 1:38
  Today, it's clear that team members are the backbone
• 1:41
  of every successful endeavor. Their creativity,
• 1:45
  energy, and well -being are their real drivers
• 1:48
  of project success. I'm here to explore how putting
• 1:52
  people first. before the process, before the
• 1:56
  deadlines, and before the rules can lead to remarkable
• 2:00
  outcomes. I'm so proud to introduce this new
• 2:04
  podcast that has been several years in planning
• 2:06
  based on my almost 40 years of working in projects
• 2:09
  for large, medium, and small companies. I've
• 2:13
  been so blessed to have a rich, wide variety
• 2:17
  of experiences that many were very successful
• 2:19
  and some were just painful problems. So join
• 2:24
  me as I dive deep into the strategies that really
• 2:27
  work in today's business world. I will share
• 2:30
  stories, insights, and actionable advice on how
• 2:33
  to create a project environment where innovation
• 2:35
  thrives, team members feel valued, and success
• 2:39
  becomes the norm. It's time to break free from
• 2:43
  the constraints of the past and build a new future
• 2:45
  for project management, one where the rules we
• 2:48
  follow are ones that truly make a difference.
• 2:52
  If you work on your projects in your organization,
• 2:55
  whether you are an executive, middle management,
• 2:58
  or at the line level, this podcast will change
• 3:02
  your whole perspective. You can make major accomplishments
• 3:06
  and successes by making a few changes to your
• 3:09
  work. In this podcast, I'm going to lay out some
• 3:12
  new methodologies that I have proven will change
• 3:15
  how to get projects done. I worked on a wide
• 3:18
  variety of projects in large and small companies,
• 3:20
  managing teams to get a wide variety of projects
• 3:23
  done. And so I won't pull any punches. I'm a
• 3:28
  little weird at times, but that keeps it very
• 3:30
  interesting. Socrates made the famous statement
• 3:33
  in 359 BC, the unexamined life is not worth living,
• 3:40
  where he believed the love of wisdom was the
• 3:42
  most important pursuit above all else. Well,
• 3:46
  My version of that is the unexamined methods
• 3:49
  will cause the project to go poorly. Now, not
• 3:52
  nearly as eloquent, but I believe totally accurate.
• 3:57
  If you work for a for -profit company, non -profit
• 4:00
  organization, or government agency, the info
• 4:03
  in these episodes will be very helpful. Whether
• 4:06
  you're a line -level employee, middle management,
• 4:08
  or upper management, there will be new ideas
• 4:12
  that'll be helpful. So please go to WayneRobertson
