Project managers face a paradox when it comes to leadership: they are tasked with taking responsibility for controlling projects in the absence of tangible authority.

Project Assistants’ President and CEO, Gus Cicala, will present real-world examples for the importance of project leaders, cover the defining moments for projects and their leaders and offer practical methods for establishing, maintaining, and regaining control through the predictable points of resistance in projects.

First, Gus will use real-world, high-stakes scenarios to discuss leadership in a general sense. Then, he will apply these concepts to project managers, using a unique perspective of cadence and rhythm to establish control with minimal confrontation.

The presentation will ensure that the audience has practical takeaways by:

1. Highlighting “defining moments” for project leaders,
2. Considering what difficulties arise and what sacrifices might have to be made, and
3. Offering methods for practical solutions and methods for resolving the issues.

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

Presenter: Augustus (Gus) Cicala is the President, CEO, and founder of Project Assistants, Inc. Gus is an expert in portfolio and project management with extensive executive leadership and consulting experience and has worked with a broad range of clients throughout the US and Western Europe.

Financial Statements:

What are they?
What do they tell me?
Why do I need to care?

As Project Managers and Business Analysts we are constantly asked to change or modify our projects to suit a stakeholders needs/requirements or just whims to adapt their project to fit their needs.

Depending on your organization’s methods of project evaluation or request for changes to a project, a good understanding of these three statements will help you to understand how your projects will affect any company or organization’s finances.

In this free, one-hour web seminar we will discuss the three main financial statements:

1. Income Statement
2. Balance Sheet
3. Statement of Cash Flows

PM Workflowâ„¢
Can Be Compared To The Project GPS

Just as GPS, which automatically selects the most efficient route to drive and changes it when a road construction or heavy traffic is encountered, PM Workflowâ„¢ directs the project flow by selecting processes in the project flow execution path based on the system of requests, decision checkpoints, decision tables and redirect the process flow to an alternative path in case of project issues.

This session is presented by the authors of the new book Project Workflow Management© (not yet released on amazon) by Dan Epstein and Rich Maltzman (LinkedIn profile). Rich is also the author of the popular book Green Project Management

Many of us are required to develop and deliver compliance courses. But there is a lot of pessimism from learners.

Do we want them to learn or do we want them to just check boxes for the auditors?

This webinar will illustrate how to design compliance courses to help learners appreciate the positive impacts compliance can bring to their work and lives.

You will learn what to look for and what to add to your compliance courses so learners are engaged and inspired by your message; they avoid the clicking fast forward and start to understand the laws and practical applications in their jobs.

Ray will cover:

• The dreaded sins of compliance design and delivery; how to avoid them
• How to focus learners on the highest impacts of the laws and rules
• How to add an engagement layer to otherwise very dry and boring topics
• How to create exciting exercises that show compliance and yet are fun

Workshop and briefing participants describe Ray as “fun”, “engaging”, “technically savvy”, “has depth in e-learning experience”, “balances theory and hands-on experience” and “inspiring”.
