Synopsis

Sanjay is not a great project manager. Team members find out what it takes.

Carol and Marcus are worried about Sanjay’s ability to manage projects. Tammy believes projects need clear objectives and everyone must have the same clear information communicated to them. Barney is Cutting Edge’s main client. He wants Sanjay to increase his internet presence, but Sanjay has failed to define the scope or requirements of the task and is constantly running late on deadlines. Barney threatens to take his business elsewhere and also believes that when you are under pressure you have to be able to solve problems. Carol and Marcus workshop how projects can be managed for the best outcome, leaving the client happy and the project manager satisfied.

Cutting Edge Communication training videos are designed to provoke discussion and response. Contemporary, fast paced, short, character driven, sitcom-style comedies, these courses take an innovative approach to reaching today's learners. Through laughter, discussion and reaction, we can all develop a more transparent and shared vision of how we wish to behave, how we manage ourselves, and how we cooperate with others.

While some find them insensitive or even outrageous, the vast majority of viewers and participants have found them to be refreshing, stimulating and ideal for injecting energy and enthusiasm back into learning.
