This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

Ask five people on a struggling project who decides a given question and you will get five answers, all of them delivered confidently. That is a governance problem, not a people problem. Here are 370 tools to solve it: 252 ready-to-use procedures, templates, question lists and checklists, 92 models and methods, 16 services shown on screen and 10 working files.

Open a lecture, take the template, and write down the decision rights on your project.

Why projects stall without anyone refusing

Roles are described loosely, decision rights are assumed, and the matrix gives everyone a voice and nobody the final word. Meetings discuss but do not decide, reviews look backwards, and accountability is clear only after something goes wrong.

What changes after this course

The charter, plan and budget say who decides. Decision rights match the structure, roles are defined, meetings end with owners, and performance management and reviews keep accountability alive.

Who is teaching

I am Mike, the #1 HR instructor on Udemy, with 1,800,000+ course enrollments from 170,000 students, and the author of about 200 books on Amazon. I built the people system at Preply as it became a unicorn and worked at Wargaming, iDeals and Alfa-Bank across 20 years in HR. I hold PHRi, SHRM-CP and HCI sHRBP certifications and represent HRCI in Eastern Europe.

At Wargaming there were many changes, and our HR director made a smart move: instead of implementing them all himself, he became the project owner. He asked HR business partners and heads of functions to choose HR projects for the year, then coordinated them, and many projects were delivered by other people's hands because the ownership was clear.
