YJTJ (Your Job Tool’s Job)â„¢

An Effective Mindset for Building NPD Schedules with
Project Management Scheduling Software

For New Product Development (NPD) projects, a good mindset for scheduling, controlling, and closing NPD project schedules is warranted.

Your Job: Provide scheduling software with information related to the schedule. Tool’s Job: create and manage the schedule.

• The YJTJ Process is designed to provide that mindset by providing project managers with the ability to more successfully think about and manage projects, and to more successfully think about and work in concert with, as opposed to in conflict with, scheduling software.
• The YJTJ concepts provide the foundational building blocks that enable successful project, resource, and portfolio management.
• Applying the YJTJ process to your NPD projects will greatly simplify schedule communication and coordination essential to new product success.

The primary intent of this presentation is to provide those who schedule NPD projects with a proven mindset for successfully managing projects, and for successfully thinking about and working with scheduling software.

Skills learned in this presentation can be applied in many project management scheduling software solutions.

Presenter: Dan Renier (Linkedin profile) is a Partner at Milestone Consulting Group, a Microsoft Gold Project and Portfolio Management Partner. With 22 years of experience. Dan is a leader in initiating, planning, executing, and controlling strategic and tactical plans. Dan is known for leading the creation of YJTJ (Your Job Tool’s Job) â„¢ process.

Recognition, Performance & Productivity

Recent research suggests that excellent employee recognition can lead to stronger business results. Better recognition means higher productivity, yet few managers provide the kind of recognition that inspires top performance.

Managers are critical to recognition efforts.

Employees say that recognition that’s meaningful most often comes from their managers. Unfortunately most managers lack the skill and understanding required to recognize successfully.

Effective managers, those that understand the value of your program and use it frequently and appropriately, will produce the results you (and your employees) want.

When you understand the roles that administrators, executives, and (most importantly) managers play in your recognition programs you will be equipped to provide the recognition that employees crave.

Don’t miss these key webcasts objectives:

1. Define the roles of administrators, executives and managers in recognition programs that work.
2. Explore the employee perspective of what makes recognition meaningful.
3. Learn what managers have to say about getting from zero to results.

In 2013 you rarely hear people referring to ‘managers’ in the workplace. The default term used today is ‘Leaders’.

But what does it mean to be a leader in an organization?

Leadership is not about position or title. It’s about developing effective relationships with followers and inspiring them to higher levels of performance.

For too long, leadership has been taught through role modeling, but you cannot become a better leader by trying to be more like somebody else.

You need to understand what makes you an inspiring leader and deploy these differentiators with skill. Leadership is a discipline that takes practice.

In this session we will explore the leadership development framework of Why Should Anyone Be Led by You?: What It Takes To Be An Authentic Leader – a a best-selling book by London Business School professor Rob Goffee (bio) and Gareth Jones (Speakers’ Corner profile).

Goffee and Jones show us how leadership is non-hierarchical, relational and contextual. It relies on leaders effectively building their CASE – Community, showing up Authentically, Building Significance into the work and maintaining a level of excitement or energy in the workplace.

Join Cate Jones, on this interactive session to discover how “Why Should Anyone Be Led by You?” can provide your organization with an effective Leadership Development process that enables every manager to understand and take on the role of leader, not matter what their background or experience.

Managers will find the process to be a great relief as they discover that effective leadership is not about being somebody else – it’s about being yourself, more, with skill.

What You Will Learn

• How to dispel the myth that ‘leaders are born’ and that only some individuals in the organization should be seen as ‘leaders’
• What makes an effective leader in a contemporary organization, and how anybody can step up and lead
• What are the fundamental building blocks of effective leadership development and how to make these accessible to all.
