The human resource plan is always a core component of the overall project plan, in good times and bad. In today’s economic climate it’s even more important as more and more project managers find themselves in resource constrained organizations trying to reach the same goals and perform the same tasks with half the budget.

Those that know how to recruit the necessary talent for their projects and more importantly skillfully utilize these precious resources, will get more projects done and on time, while increasing their impact and value to the organization.

The process to “Acquire the Project Team” requires you to balance recruiting team members with the appropriate skills and knowledge, in the right amounts or numbers, at the right times to enter and exit the project.

The seven steps to resource your projects:

1. Create a staffing plan that outlines what skills are needed and when they will be utilized.
2. Practice effective networking starting by building your industry contacts.
3. Leverage organization contacts and existing vendor relationships.
4. Clarify roles and responsibilities – refocus over-allocated resources.
5. Use the bench – get the most out of people and create opportunities for stretch goals.
6. Link to organizational strategy and secure influential executives to support the project.
7. Follow a phased approach – bite off pieces that can be accomplished without breaking the bank.

This webinar will highlight seven critical steps to efficiently resource your projects.

In her current role as the Program Director for the Massachusetts Medical Society’s (MMS) Corporate IT Program Office, Bonnie is responsible for coordinating the efforts of project teams, overseeing the implementation of project standards, managing the corporate IT strategic plan, and leading the program to re-engineer the membership platform for MMS.

Profiling is often seen as an ugly word, and an even uglier activity. While true in the vast majority of context, profiling in marketing is not only necessary…it’s required.

Marketing profiling is a fundamental skill critical for marketing success. Customers will quickly come for you with their torches and pitchforks if you don’t send them timely and relevant messages. But how are you supposed to know who to send what?

Whether electronic or print, television or radio, marketing messages must be based on the audience being engaged. Do you sell lipstick in the sports section of the paper? Do you sell Budweiser in Golf Digest? The perfect message/campaign is doomed to fail if it does not reach the right people.

That is why David will be discussing the lost art of marketing profiling. Everywhere you turn these days, you are exposed to Internet marketing pundits putting less and less emphases on profiling. This web seminar will be a debate between the traditional profiling strategies of ASPE’s President, David Mantica versus the “new school” digital profiling strategies of ASPE’s VP of Marketing, JT Moore.

David will discuss:

• Behavioral-based marketing tactics
• Interest-based marketing tactics
• Profiling for traditional marketing channels
• Profiling for electronic marketing channels

Presenter: David Mantica (LinkedIn profile)  has more than 16 years of experience in business to business continuing education in executive, product management, marketing, and operations capacities. He has product managed the initiation, development and delivery of more than 300 instructor-led and live, online training courses, in software development life cycle, IT, telecommunications, finance, healthcare IT, and marketing industries. David was instrumental in the development and delivery of the training industry’s first voice over IP (VOIP)-enabled live, instructor-led training course for public consumption.

Congratulations on Your Promotion! But there’s a catch: instead of spending the majority of your time doing the job you love—a job you’re still expected to get done, by the way—you’re now also a manager. You weren’t trained for this. Nobody prepared you for having to deal with emotions and conflicts and personalities, all while trying to meet ever-greater goals and more pressing deadlines. Not exactly what you had in mind … is it?

Drawing on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®, Devora Zack explains that personality-wise and management-wise, we’re either thinkers or feelers. Basically, thinkers lead with their heads and feelers lead with their hearts. Almost nobody’s 100% thinker or feeler, yet most of us lean one way or the other.

Working with—rather than fighting against—your strengths is key to understanding not only how you make decisions and manage but also how people react to your decisions and respond to you.

Join Devora as she explores how this way of seeing yourself and others makes managing less of a stumble in the dark and more of a walk in the park.

What You Will Learn

• How to find your best management style
• How to adapt to your employees’ personalities
• Why making employees feel good isn’t in their best interest
• The importance of treating others how THEY want to be treated

While attending this program is FREE, reservations are required – However most AMA webinars are recorded for later viewing.

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