How Project, Program, and Portfolio Managers
Can Avoid the Three Major Mistakes
Of Organization-Wide Change

From new technologies to product launches to process improvements, today’s organizations are constantly under pressure to execute change.

According to estimates nearly 70% of changes fail, resulting in financial loss and employee cynicism.

As a portfolio, program, or project manager, your career progress hinges on your ability to lead successful and sustainable change. As we move from the level of individual project, to grouped program, to overall portfolio, complexities and interdepencies multiply and become increasingly challenging to manage effectively.

In this session, participants will learn about Change Intelligence (CQ), and how by diagnosing and organization’s CQ its leaders can obtain powerful insights into its strengths and blind spots.

By developing CQ, leaders can overcome three major mistakes that often occur when managing organization-wide change. Participants will learn how the CQ System enables organizations to:

• Adopt a common language to avoid misalignment and foster ownership.
• Build a common system to avoid chaos and drive strategy.
• Deploy a common change process to avoid inefficiency and promote consistency.

• Are you managing a project with no authority?
• Are most of your team members volunteers?
• Are they working remotely?

This presentation will show to gain trust and build a productive relationship with the team members to get their “right foot” in to your project.

Raj will share some observations and tips on how to understand the team members well, what’s on their mind, what they can do for you as well as what you can do for them.

In his experience most of the projects failures he has seen can be related to an inability to understand team members and their motivational factors.

People come and go from projects without making a true commitment to the project or its objectives. When team members know they are understood and not treated as fill-in resources they become fully dedicated to the project’s success.

This presentation will provide participants with take away ideas and techniques that can applied to improve team dynamics on your project.

Note: You do have to be a PMI® member to register for this opportunity.

The project schedule developed at the beginning of a project is not a guarantee of what will occur. Project schedules are in fact, only a point-in-time guess. Many things will conspire to invalidate the plan – project team members may not be available or may leave the project, technologies may work better or worse than expected, changes may be approved, and so on.

Attend this 1 hour presentation to learn why it is important to monitor progress against the schedule, communicate the progress, and refine the schedule based on facts and our observations.

In this 1 hour in-depth webinar participants learn:

• Understand effects of path convergence and joint probabilities
• Discover recommended best practices for effectively controlling project schedules
• Understand how to use earned value to monitor project schedules
• Learn about considerations for preventive and corrective actions when controlling project schedules.
• Gather practical implementation tips for effectively monitoring and controlling projects
