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”.
