“Ian reported to me during my time managing the PMO at Philips Oral Healthcare. As an integral member of a small but highly leveraged and impactful PMO team, Ian was tasked daily with managing projects and programs with global impact for a globally known and trusted brand. This was no small task, and carried significant responsibility. While Ian came to the role with significant PM experience, during our mutual time at Philips I witnessed sustained and, ultimately, dramatic professional growth. One of Ian's superpowers is a relentless drive to learn, and this was the engine of his growth, whether he was diving into the minutae of an internal process, or tackling a new certification program to level up his overall skill set. He consistently demontrated energy, enthusiasm, and ownership of his work and work product. He fearlessly led highly cross-functional project teams to drive progress. He also assumed leadership of a product category as a "Value Stream Lead," which included portfolio and resource planning, and end-to-end ownership of the product life cycle, from development, through commercialization, and into life cycle management. Ian is a highly skilled program manager with the potential to reach even greater heights and It was a pleasure to have him as a key member of our highly skilled team.”

You're struggling to communicate with your team. What's the best way to get everyone on the same page?
I am have seen the best way to mitigate an issue like this is to right away get all your team in a room/meeting. Once in the room then we can open up a dialog with simply asking questions like , what is our hang up, or WHY are we struggling in our communications. Everyone will have an opinion and from this you can gleam what is going on with your team. The answer is sometimes simple. But open dialog and listening and preferably in person is the best(Yes I understand all can not meet in person)

What are effective communication tools for establishing rapport with a new team member?
I am a big fan of in person meetings. Establish a relationship with the new team member and everything else comes easy to do. Meet with them regulatory. Use the tools a company has like teams or Outlook. Then establish an open door policy and it all will come naturally

What are the best strategies for communicating with team members from different departments?
Keep it simple, there is no reason to re-invent the wheel when it comes to communication. A simple email, to pinging someone on teams/slack/ pick your poison is the best way to open up dialog. Or a if your in person, i find that a personal in personal chat provides results that are even better then online
