This is a Cat 2-SDL course. Presented by Suite 101®, the information presented in this course is a very good comprehensive introduction to project management. Be aware that there is a lot of clicks required to move between pages of information and there are advertisements on each page. The information is presented in a relaxed chatty way and the author presents the information along with his opinions about Project Management during this course. In spite of these drawbacks, this is a good basic introduction to Project Phases and topics in Project Management

There are those people who are born Project Managers. And there are those people who achieve Project Management, and then there are those people — a surprisingly large number of people — who have professional project management expectations thrust upon them. What if they haven’t actually provided you with the necessary foundational understanding of the concept of project management?

Well, here’s what you can do: read this course on Project Management 101. Learn about the basics of project management so that you can approach your challenge with the confidence that you are entitled to as a professional. The goal of this course is thus to impart an overall understanding of project management through a focus upon basic concepts, definitions, tools, strategies, processes, and phases.

This course embraces students from any professional background, including those that may not work in a project environment but would simply like a solid introduction to the subject. Students will find the lessons in this course relevant because project management is an approach to achieving a goal. You will be able to adapt the generalized knowledge and principles that this course offers to fit within your unique and specific workplace project needs.

Presented By ASPE (REP 2161): David Mantica & JT Moore

In 2007 ASPE made the decision to build an Electronic Marketing Department…and as they say the rest is history (Well at least history to us). We are now a Google Certified Partner successfully utilizing AdWords and Analytics. We operate three blogs, run multiple twitter accounts, and send over three million emails a year. This is all in addition to the +3 million direct mail pieces that we send each year.

It definitely didn’t happen all at once, and we are still working out some of the kinks, but it was the right thing to do and one that has given new life to our multi-channel marketing strategy. In this 45 min web seminar JT and David will go through the initial process taken to start up the department, the metrics used to measure success and plans being built for the future, including the continued integration of all of our channels.

There is no perfect solution, and the path to success is unique to every business, but hopefully you will gain insight based on our experiences (both positive and negative) and learn from some of our best practices. After the formal presentation we will open the session up for questions, giving you the opportunity to get more information about how you can apply the material to your unique situation, as well as to ask any questions you may have.

If you have initiated or are planning to initiate an electronic marketing solution with the goals of building a department or integrating the capabilities into your existing marketing team, this 45-min session will give you practical and real-world ideas to test and potholes to steer clear of.

This 1 hour webinar presented by ESI International (REP 1038) determines the root-causes of project failure. Project Initiation is regularly discussed by both project management practitioners and academics, yet surprisingly, the first critical step during which projects are put on track for success or failure. Project initiation often suffers the most neglect and is commonly a victim of insufficient scope definition, missing stakeholder buy-in, and misalignment with strategic objectives; which are then tagged as reasons for distress.

The outcome of project portfolio management (PPM) is also determined, in large part, by its other initial stages. As many portfolio managers have experienced, establishing successful PPM entails far more than the implementation of a portfolio management system. PPM tools installed in a hurry may not achieve the maximum return on their investment, as important prerequisite activities are likely to have been ignored.

Specific learning objectives for this webinar include:

•Developing a PPM Project Checklist
•Understanding the “Strategic Gap” and “Project Gap” of a PPM
•Understanding the approach for setting up an efficient and effective measurement process for both portfolio outcome and portfolio management processes

Subject Matter Expert, Mario Arlt, will examine the five prerequisite activities to be performed in the initial stages of the PPM process, and which are critical to realizing PPM benefits. The presentation will introduce how to best manage the implementation of PPM, as well as how to gain and sustain executive commitment, address gaps in the alignment of organizational strategy and projects, select the most suitable project selection method, and set up an efficient measurement process.
