What is your firm’s current risk due to institutional knowledge loss due to pending retirements?

Join this webcast to hear about American Water’s experience in determining the potential risk to the business of knowledge loss, and insights into how to evaluate available solutions.

Many organizations are at significant risk of losing key critical knowledge due to retirements of employees over the next several years.

By the time an employee announces retirement, or otherwise leaves the organization, it is often too late to fully understand exactly what knowledge is walking out the door and to document and transfer that deep tacit knowledge.

American Water has dedicated significant resources to developing a system to proactively identify and address critical at-risk knowledge across all departments.

In this webcast you will learn a continuum of options for risk mitigation activities, and important differences between succession planning and knowledge management.

The webcast will also review American Water’s experience to demonstrate the importance of a comprehensive knowledge management system.

You’ll have opportunities to ask diagnostic questions to better understand your own organization’s knowledge loss risks.

Jodi Wadel (LinkedIn profile) is the director of Journey Management for American Water and has 20 years of experience in training and organizational development, She conducts knowledge management work and mostly recently conducts internal change management services for the company.

Just about everyone is now aware of agile and most people have heard of Agile’s most popular approach, Scrum.

However, most people are struggling to harness the full power of Scrum because they only use it for product development or small-scale pieces of work.

How about using Scrum for large-scale work in general and complex projects in particular?

This webinar will explain:

• What is ‘Agile Project Management’ and how does it help Scrum to scale?
• What is the difference between product delivery and project management?
• Why can you use Scrum anywhere but ‘Scrum is not enough’ on larger projects?
• Can we use tried and tested traditional concepts to help Scrum flourish?
• What changes does a traditional project manager need to make to embrace Scrum?
• How does Scrum work when there is an immovable deadline?
• Can you use Scrum in a non-IT context?
• Why is ‘Agile Project Management’ (AgilePM) the APMG’s fastest growing qualification?

This webinar will remove some of the mystery and hype surrounding Scrum and explain how to get it to work in the real world and not just for the proverbial ‘small team in one room’.

If you are looking to stay current with today’s thinking on all things agile, join us for this webinar on Tuesday 30th July @ 3pm BST.

This webinar will be presented by Keith Richards (LinkedIn profile), UK Agile Awards winner and one of the leading experts on agile in Europe.

Presented by: Eclipse Project Portfolio Management
Duration: 1 hour 1 PDUs Credits: Category C 1 PDU- Free PDU

Project Portfolio Management (PPM) initiatives are expected to provide significant benefit to multiple roles within an organization.

Intuitively, most staff can understand the potential value in the organization, process and technology changes involved with a PPM initiative. However, the lack of change management practices through a PPM initiative’s implementation is one of the most common reasons for their failure. Symptoms of this issue can include poor executive commitment, resistance or political pressure from functional management and compliance issues with project teams.

Eclipse will review common misconceptions about PPM initiative implementations, provide some guiding principles for successful change and detail the steps and key communication messages necessary to gain buy-in from executive and functional management as well as from project teams.

This webinar will also provide tips that can be incorporated into the initiation and planning of your PPM initiative to increase your odds of success.

Who should attend this webinar?
C-Level Management, IT Directors and Managers or Directors of PMOs
