Live Webinar – September 27th, 2012 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm EDT
Presented by: Eclipse Project Portfolio Management
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

Management insights drawn from breakthoughs in cognitive science

Many studies show a link between high engagement and organizational success, yet until now our understanding of the science of engagement has mostly focused on outcome studies, not on the underlying mechanisms involved.

This session provides fresh insights into our understanding of what engagement is, how to measure it and most important, how to increase it. Drawing from the latest findings in neuroscience, we will explore a series of questions, such as:

1. What is the actual neural basis of engagement, in other words, what is engagement made up of, if you were to peer inside the brain?
2. What are the factors that drives engagement in the brain?
3. How does engagement affect the brain?
4. What are the various possible ‘levels’ of engagement?
5. How can we more accurately measure engagement?

What You Will Learn:

• Understand why your current engagement strategies do or don’t work
• Discover fresh ideas for increasing engagement
• Explore new thinking for measuring engagement

While attending this program is FREE, reservations are required.

We encourage you to register even if you are unable to attend live; you’ll receive replay information following the event.
