Offered by IAG Consulting (REP 2858)
Duration 1 hour 1 PDU or 1 CDU 1 Cat A Free

This session is for project managers that sometimes need to contract externally for requirements discovery services in order to make their project a success.

This session shares hard facts, case studies, and a wealth of experience in successful – and not so successful – contracting approaches for the senior project manager. Supercharging a project by accelerating the requirements discovery phase is a solid strategy – but how do you ensure the company will get solid business value from the activity?

3 Learning Objectives from this Session:

  • Effective analyst engagements models that drive value
  • Red flags in your review cycle: clear signals that you have, or will have, issues with your requirements discovery team.
  • Setting targets for timetable and turnaround: what should you expect from a top notch analyst team?

Presented by: Anzi Coaching

Having worked in the doggy-eat-dog world of opera stars, later in HR in the corporate world, and as a trainer and coach for companies around Australia I have witnessed and confronted a wide range of emotional and difficult situations, and how others have managed them. What I have distilled is a 3 step process that works, and that gets the type of diffusion and change that brings massive relief for people, and leaves them with a feeling and experience of being met, valued and helped. – Dr Louise Mahler

So often we fall into the trap thinking it is all about words, but especially in emotional situations, research has shown that this is where vocal tone and body shape really come to the fore.

  • Do you know the rules of the game?
  • Do you have the vocal repertoire to respond as you need to?
  • Do you know where your eyes wander?
  • Do you use gestures to help resolve the situation?

This workshop will begin to explore and expand that capacity, applying the techniques to a simple pattern of communication.

During this webinar, you will learn:

  • How to find a physical and vocal neutral position under stress
  • How to extend vocal capacity
  • Build rapport using voice and body

Many of our processes for handling difficult situations are programmed into our mind, body and voice after a hugely successful conflict resolution in our youth. You know the incident where the grade three teacher berated you for some misdemeanor and you handled the situation with great aplomb. From that day on you embed the patterns you used in that situation and are using it to this day. Why we don’t take time to recognize and reconsider that pattern is a mystery of the sphinx.

  • So how do you transform a highly emotional situation into one with deep satisfaction on the other end?
  • And does it take a long time?

This webinar will show you how.
