So you’ve been assigned a complex, poorly defined project concept… now what?

Nothing is worse (or better) for a senior project manager or analyst than being handed a project that is: strategic, very large, and way outside your comfort zone in complexity. These projects will sometimes roll around the halls of big companies for months while they struggle to gain sufficient momentum and clarity to really move forward with a sense of purpose and direction.

Let’s say one of these career-bruisers/-builders is yours? What do you do next?

This session is about the tactics of early-stage project intake and clarification – getting clarity efficiently.

Learning objectives:

1. Inside the project intake process – why is intake so dysfunctional?
2. The action plan – simple steps that drive project clarity and milestones that deliver benefit.
3. Targeted result – time tested deliverables that work

The data economy means that more and more organizations are relying upon trusted data to make strategic business decisions. As these organizations have seen the benefits of “traditional” business intelligence, they are looking to see similar benefits from data throughout the enterprise.

The next steps in business intelligence include:

• Self-service business intelligence & data discovery, empowering business users – “consumers” of data – to find, access and work with the data they need, regardless of source system or format;
• Report analytics, a key component of business analytics, that enables business users to apply business intelligence & data discovery principles to access, analyze and act upon data trapped in static reports and semi-structured business documents
• Data visualization, presenting complex data elements and their relationships in an easy to understand dynamic, graphical environment; and
• Data virtualization, integrating data from disparate sources without moving the actual data.

Can you relate to any of these?

• You leave work exhausted and more behind,
• you’re juggling so many different things that any minute you may drop them all,
• you are both the project manager, developer and entire team on most of your projects except for the occasional other who never returns your emails,

There is no end in sight to the insanity…

The current state of frustration in our workplaces is killing productivity. It’s easy to deliver activity without business value because there is no time to prioritize.

Join Lou to hear about organizing and prioritizing your individual scalability. Get stuff done and be more effective. It can be done.
