Projects and programs today are more complex, highly uncertain, and changing faster than ever; they are also greatly impacted by the business dynamics, and “one size does not fit all”. As a result modern businesses can no longer survive on traditional project management skills. In the next generation of the profession, project managers will have to evolve into leaders who take ownership of their project’s business results.

Learn how to deal with the strategic and business aspects of their programs, actually improve on-time delivery, and build a vision to inspire their teams and have fun.

The PMI Aerospace & Defense CoP presents Strategic Project Leadership (SPL), which was built on the foundation of traditional project management during twenty years of research and work with corporations, dozens of studies and five PhD dissertations.

SPL helps organizations deal with their projects in a flexible and adaptive way, and focus their projects on business results by creating value, competitive advantage, and winning in the marketplace.

This integrated, industry-proven, and PMI award-winning approach combines the business-related needs, the operational aspects of getting the job done, and the leadership perspective of inspiring and motivating the team.

Use lessons from several famous A&D programs to show how project leaders can integrate Strategic Project Leadership® into their current practices by building new skills on top of the PMP® and the PMBOK® Guide areas.

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

Presenter: Dr. Aaron Shenhar (LinkedIn profile) is widely regarded as one of the world’s leading experts in project management, innovation, and leadership. He was awarded recently the PMI Fellow Award, and was the first recipient of the Project Management Institute (PMI) Research Achievement Award. He is also the holder of five academic degrees in engineering and management.

Regardless of industry, most major companies are becoming:
Technology Companies.

The successful management of information has become so critical to a company’s goals, that in many ways, now is the age of the CIO.

Yet IT executives are besieged by a host of contradictions: bad technology can bring a company to its knees, but corporate boards rarely employ CIOs; CIOs must keep costs down at the very same time that they drive innovation. CIOs are focused on the future, while they are tethered by technology decisions made in the past.

These contradictions form what Martha Heller (LinkedIn profile) calls The CIO Paradox, a set of conflicting forces that are deeply embedded in governance, staffing, executive expectations, and even corporate culture.

Based on in-depth interviews with a wide array of successful CIOs, more than 12 years working closely with the CIO community, Martha’s presentation offers guidance to CIOs on how to attack, reverse, or neutralize the paradoxical elements of the CIO role, and level the playing field for IT’s success.

Note: ITMPI is now charging a fee to obtain the PDU code. This fee ONLY needs to be paid if you ask the provider for the code – This code can be obtained from the PMI.ORG site for free. Start to record your PDU – on Step 2 place the Rep # 2733 (in our listing) in the “Provider Number” area and the title of the webinar in the “Activity Name” and hit search.
