Presented by: Modern Analyst

In this webcast, Rebekah Anderson (LinkedIn profile), BI Director for Concordia University (CUI), shares how her team conquered numerous data analytics challenges.

At CUI, the ongoing need to extract meaningful information from multiple databases and different data sources was creating a huge burden on Rebekah’s team.

The analysts had to provide access, analysis, and provisioning of hard-to-find data for an external vendor.

On top of that, the team had to constantly assist additional internal and external stakeholders with access to relevant data sources needed for reports and analytics. Meeting all of these challenges was becoming impossible.

Rebekah discovered a software solution that addresses all of these challenges and more.

The solution provides her team with a single business analytics & reporting environment that connects to any data source. Additionally, it enables the team to deliver analytics support based on the unique needs of individual users and projects.

Join this webinar to get Rebekah’s first-hand account of how her team was able to:

  • Rapidly generate report prototypes and data mash-ups
  • Share analytic storyboards via tablet apps with stakeholders
  • Visualize data with interactive charting and intuitive views
  • Increase collaboration by sharing views, data sets, and snapshots of content

IT and Telecom Project Managers must work with complex while leading and inspiring team members to do their best. But the challenges of the job – constant demands, stressful deadlines, lack of resources, miscommunications, and hard-to-deal-with team members – can make that difficult. Each additional challenge adds more pressure.

Stress, frustration, anger, disappointment, and worry are normal human reactions to these circumstances. But whether it is your own emotional experience, or that of a colleague or team member, how do you cope with these feelings in an appropriate and expedient way?

Being able to identify and understand the function of normal emotions when under stress, and how to deal with them within a team setting, can greatly benefit your ability to communicate effectively and lead most effectively.

This webinar offers an innovative perspective on Emotional Intelligence. It offers a clear explanation of emotions as an information system, the role of emotions in daily interactions and tools for managing emotions regardless of the circumstance.

It also addresses key elements of strong leadership. An effective leader understands and copes with normal human emotions, managing them in a way that inspires his or her team to get the job done with the greatest cooperation and expediency.

Emotional Intelligence reduces stress, improves your ability to make good decisions, and supports productive communication.

This webinar will address:

  • How to use emotions as a resource for important information.
  • How to identify subtle emotions that can undermine communication.
  • How to manage your own emotional responses in pressure-filled situations.
  • How unconscious or unacknowledged emotions impact bottom line results.
  • Practical, on the spot techniques for managing stress.

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