Online Webinar Offered by: ESI International (REP 1038)
Duration: 1 Hour Credits: 1 PDU Category A – Free PDU

Increasingly, leadership skills, such as critical thinking, crucial communication and organisational change management, are becoming essential PM competencies to master.

Focused and continuous training, action learning, coaching and longer term mentoring sends all the correct signals to employees about your organisation. It is absolutely necessary to consider the ongoing development of the project managers.

Instead of asking “What if we train them and they leave?,” the more pertinent question is, “What if we don’t train them and they stay?”

ESI’s webinar will help you:

• Develop a deeper understanding of what “competency” means
• Understand 5 easy-to-adopt steps to success
• Learn the benefits your organisation can achieve through PM competencies development

This webinar will share the ROI results of certain ESI clients as examples of the kind of success your organisation may be able to attain with the right competency framework.

*The Project Management Institute requires that a PMP®/PgMP® earn 60 Professional Development Units (PDUs)every threeyears in order to maintain certification.More Information on PDUs.

Recorded: March 15, 2011

We try to remain productive in a tense workplaces.

• Cynicism,
• Irritability,
• Anger,
• Depression,
• Incivility and hostility

Are on the rise. – So are our levels of:

• Insecurity,
• Exhaustion and
• Stress

We all feel the effects of economic, social and environmental systems that are becoming increasingly strained. When increased stress levels are combined with time pressures, good people reach their limits of composure and civil behavior. Side-by-side problems solving can quickly devolve into toe-to-toe confrontations, turf wars and silent simmering.

In reality, most conflicts are the results of predictable, unintentional errors made by conscientious, well-intentioned people.

In this webinar, Vital Learning explores the real triggers of destructive conflict… some of them so common that most of us consider these behaviors normal, maybe even useful.

Learn not only how to resolve the destructive conflicts that currently exist but also how to eliminate the negative pressure of conflicts in the first place.

The good news is:

While it would be great if your entire organization embraced and implemented these techniques, you can dramatically decrease the levels of conflict and stress you personally experience in your own life even if you are the only one using them!

The iPad has created a transformational change in how persons interact with computers.

Multi-touch on the iPad and other media tablets and smartphones is becoming a de facto standard for consumer electronics.

As media tablets become more common-place, users will expect the convenience and simplicity of multi-touch user interfaces when they interact with other computing devices.

Other user interface technologies, such as speech, gesture and haptics, that complement multi-touch will enable new usages on tablets

Discussion Topics:

• Design trends for consumer electronics and PCs
• Usages enabled by emerging human-computer interfaces
• Insight into new markets enabled by tablets
