Strategic plans are typically created annually for many organizations, often times as a result of management or their staff scrambling to pull together budget numbers and a quick list of projects to justify spending the budget dollars. The Strategic Plan then sits on a shelf and becomes stale or outdated rather than influencing future work.

Join us for this free 1 hour webinar and learn about 4 cored components that will allow your Strategic Plans to become flexible vehicles for change.

In this 1 hour in-depth webinar participants learn:

• Creating and leveraging a current state organizational assessment
• Why its important to differentiate the corporation’s mission from its vision
• Creating action plans for achieving realistic objectives
• Keeping the Strategic Plan relevant and current

Solutions Cube Group webinars are presented by experienced staff members and partners who have over 30 years of experience managing projects and developing and running facilitated project meetings and delivering project management training courses.

Daniel will present how to best perform project management in different matrix organizations. When implementing an advanced EPM system there are different questions that need to be answered, an important question is the organizational structure.

For changes to succeed, structured approaches are need for the technical side of the change (through project management) and for the people side of the change (through change management).

These two complementary disciplines share a common objective – to improve the performance of the organization by implementing a change. However, bringing these two disciplines together can sometimes be challenging.

This webinar looks at how to integrate change management and project management.

• Foundation
  • Project management
  • Change management
• Integrating the disciplines
  • From a tool set perspective
  • On a project perspective
  • At a methodology level
  • For the organization

We have been “professionalizing” and “standardizing” and “automating” our projects and programs for over a decade. Yet, the success rates of IT projects haven’t radically improved.

We don’t have the project leaders with the skills we need. Our improvement initiatives still meet high organizational resistance.

PMOs implode at rates above 30% annually. Add to this mix the current and future business environment – highly uncertain and constantly changing.

This session will focus on the effects of all these factors on how the management of project-based work will need to change (and is changing) to address all of these factors.

Don’t be surprised if some of what you believe is “best practice” or “common wisdom” will need to fall by the wayside to ensure your future success in this challenging environment.
