Mohsen Zargaran (talk) 22:00, 8 May 2009 (UTC) Belief Technique in Project Management There are a lot of tools, techniques and skills which is being applied in Project Management, some in one single process and some in the whole life cycle of the project. Along with all well-known techniques and skills there is an interesting and powerful technique which is not a mathematical or analytical method, it’s only a technique that can improve your achievement and help to jump over some obstacles in the project. It is simply “Belief Technique” and means that you will achieve what you believe from the very first day of the project. But how to apply, First of all, list Critical Success Factors (CSFs) or project’s main objectives and goals, then start to imagine yourself at the end of the project while all main targets are achieved. Do it again and again, every single day and whenever you are stressful. It’s great feeling, but it not only helps a lot to reduce your stress (because you feel confident that you will achieve all targets) but also it really works and help you to achieve it in the real life. When it became your belief and your project’s product was created inside you, then the universe starts to materialize it outside. An example: Suppose that you are appointed as project manager for a 10 storey building, the cost is not so critical for customer but he wants building to be the most glorious and eye-catching building in the area. Well, what is the key objective here? For sure architecture should be the main focus area. You will be stressful when you think about the appearance of the building. You would ask yourself: “Will it be the most glorious building? Will my customer be satisfied with final product?” and so on but there is another approach as well, You can think like this: “It will be the most glorious building in the area, my customer will be satisfied with final product” and this will help you to believe you are able to do that and everything will go well and the project finally will succeed.

Now ask yourself: “will it happen?” be honest with yourself and answer What is your answer? Most probably you are still doubtful and cannot say “Absolutely YES” If you are not confident yet don’t worry, the reason is you have not imagined yourself in the future and have to change the wording, change “will” to “be” and say: “My building is the most glorious building in the area; my customer is satisfied with final product” These are key phrases that should be believed by you deeply.

Once you reached to the enough degree of confidence, all possible forces will come to help you and an incredible power push you to success.

There are several ways to improve the level of your confidence and make your desirable things happen: -	One of them is inculcation; you can believe with a high degree of rigor by repeating the key phrases every day but make sure it’s not trivialized when you are repeating every day. -	Another method which is very effective is writing. You can write the key phrases on a piece of paper; keep it somewhere and review it regularly. You will be surprised with your achievements when you read your written targets after a while.

Belief technique describes a procedure to help you believe deep in your heart that will achieve your target.

It means you achieve the target two times 1-	In your imagination; when you put (see) yourself in the future because your imagination is not bound in time, you can send it to the future and imagine what you like 2-	In the real life; be assured that real world will take you there very soon.

When you begin with the end in mind and imagine your desirable results then you automatically put your effort and energy on the right things and achieve the right results.

Hope you can apply it and gain a lot.
