Project Stakeholder Management has now been added to the 5th Edition of PMBOK Guide, and is in the new ISO PM Standard 21,500. But this is not a new topic; identification of and management to stakeholder expectations has been a best practice of competent and performing project managers for years.

The Challenge:

Some know the challenge of driving the “Esses;” the series of curves on a racetrack.

Just as this shows mastery for skilled drivers, skilled project managers appropriately navigate their S’s: Engaging Stakeholders early and often is a key differentiator for outstanding project managers.

• But just how do outstanding performers engage stakeholders?
• Are their actions intuitive? Can they be learned? How do we know if the actions we take are effective?
• And, whose job is it to achieve all this?

A Solution:

Early stakeholder engagement is a critical success factor in all projects. There are excellent ways to achieve that engagement.

This is a key insight, because without early engagement, stakeholders are not on board. Given that insight, the proper timing and processes for achieving later engagement can easily follow.

Of course, the right roles must take responsibility for this initial stakeholder engagement, and the ongoing care of that engagement, all the way through Benefits Realization.

The Result:

Just as navigating the “Esses” in racing differentiates winning drivers from others, the same applies in managing the SSS’s in the world of project managers.

Engaged Stakeholders know the business results they seek, and evaluate all in-project actions needed to assure a winning project at the time of Benefit Realization.

This session on Fierce Conversations was recorded by
The American Management Association.

Susan Scott, leadership development architect and bestselling author of Fierce Conversations: Achieving Success at Work & in Life, One Conversation at a Time, will introduce you to transformational ideas and principles that will shift your basic understanding of conversations and the power they hold in leadership, building relationships and achieving results.

This presentation is based on Susan’s book Fierce Conversations: Achieving Success at Work and in Life One Conversation at a Time

For a complete selection of Susan’s books (and Kindle editions) including Fierce Leadership click here. Check out her Fierce Inc website. The company does have a very “high pressure sales” focus but includes a wealth of articles, video and podcasts that explore the topics of Fierce Conversations and Fierce Leadership.

Fierce Conversations: Achieving Success at Work and in Life One Conversation at a Time, will introduce you to transformational ideas and principles that will shift your basic understanding of conversations and the power they hold in leadership, building relationships and achieving results.

The central function of a leader is to engineer intelligent, spirited conversations that provide the basis for high levels of alignment, collaboration and partnership throughout an organization and the healthier financial performance that goes with it.

While no single conversation is guaranteed to change the trajectory of a career, a company, a relationship or a life – any single conversation can.

In this webcast you will learn the 7 principles of a Fierce Conversation:

• Master the courage to interrogate reality
• Come out from behind yourself, into the conversation, and make it real
• Be here, prepared to be nowhere else
• Tackle your toughest challenge today
• Obey your instincts
• Take responsibility for your emotional wake
• Let silence do the heavy lifting.

Traditionally, ITIL and TOGAF professionals have been part of different teams within an organization. Due to the ongoing alignment of business and IT, ITIL and TOGAF professionals increasingly find themselves in the same workspace.

Until recently, they were part of different departments within a company or an organization. As a consequence of this recent crossover, there is a growing trend towards organization of work based on multiple best practice models.

With the rapid adoption of TOGAF, both this and the ITIL framework are often evaluated predominantly on how to apply these models in conjunction, or how to make a choice between them.

This one-hour webinar will focus on how to enhance the value of one framework with the other.

Learn:

• About TOGAF
• The relationship between ITIL and TOGAF
• How the co-existence of ITIL and TOGAF can benefit your organization
