Prosci specializes in change management processes. With a strong developed expertise in change management processes they produce high quality informative presentations and seminars

While the top trend identified by study participants in Prosci’s three previous benchmarking studies was a greater recognition of the need for change management, many practitioners still have to justify their work and make a compelling case for the value they add.

In this webinar, learn why results and success must be the centerpiece of your conversation. With five different perspectives, and activities you will complete to apply each to your own project, you will be able to make a clear, articulate and compelling connection between change management and benefit realization, results and outcomes, and project and organizational success.

Agenda:

  1. Begin with the end
  2. Reframing how we view changing
  3. Putting people into the equation
  4. Three people side factors
  5. Correlation data
  6. What if we don’t manage the change?

Partnerships are vitally important for many companies’ success. Yet, many companies overlook important compatibility factors, such as cultural fit, when partnering.

Without an understanding of each company’s compatibility, it is difficult for project managers, account managers and other

account executives to work towards one common goal.

There are three important compatibility factors to consider:

  1. Cultural fit, which includes geographic culture and corporate culture,
  2. Structural fit, which includes each companies operating objectives and organizational
    compatibility, and
  3. Competence fit, which includes leader’s experience to cooperate and their flexibility to leverage their partner.

In this web presentation, Jeanette Nyden (LinkedIn profile), recognized collaborative communication expert, will discuss these three compatibility factors, and offer tips and insights how you can leverage collaborative communication skills to be more productive.

Ms. Nyden will share stories to demonstrate how these principles apply to your business. You’ll leave the presentation energized with a greater understanding of the success factors to forming a partnering culture in a diverse environment.

Discussion Topics:

  • Why is BPM more important today than ever?
  • How can BPM optimize business outcomes?
  • How should we advance our vision from operational excellence to operational resilience?

Duration: 1 hour 1 PDUs Credits: Category C 1 PDU- Free PDU

Project Portfolio Management (PPM) is a strategic decision making approach aimed at maximizing overall returns on project investments. By focusing on the “right” projects, it is expected that there will be improved organization alignment to strategic plans as well as optimized utilization of financial and human resources.

Unfortunately, there is a significant amount of misinformation in the marketplace about PPM and many organizations that have attempted to implement these practices have failed. Of course, vendors stand ready to “help” unsuspecting executives with snake oil claims of “silver bullet” process or tool purchases to achieve PPM nirvana.

This webinar will provide you with a solid grounding of PPM principles – costs, benefits, critical success factors and lessons learned. These will help you decide whether pursuing PPM improvement is a valuable and realistic goal for your organization. This presentation will also improve your knowledge of the PPM lifecycle and provide you with the key decisions and approaches necessary to launch a successful PPM initiative.

Who should attend this webinar?
C-Level Management, IT Directors and Managers or Directors of PMOs
