In 1994, global carpet tile manufacturer, Interface was inspired to rethink its purpose as a company and climb “Mount Sustainability.”

This journey, referred to as “Mission Zero” – Interface’s promise to eliminate any negative impact the company might have on the environment by 2020 – drives product design, engagement and all of the company’s global operations.

In sharing won experience, we can help others better understand what true sustainability means and how we’ve turned the concept into an everyday reality.

Our journey to Mission Zeroâ„¢ details the steps we’ve already taken and those that lie ahead, in the hopes that others will join this movement for meaningful change.

Nadine will share lessons learned from Interface’s story as well as insights for project managers who are looking to integrate principles of sustainability into their practice.

Practical experience shows us that all too often the limiting factor for producing extraordinary project outcomes isn’t team members’ technical skills – it’s how they interact.

In this webinar we’ll cover, in very pragmatic terms, common people-related team problems and ways to address them.

• Low trust levels.
• Groupthink.
• Personality clashes between two individually strong, but “collaboration-challenged” players.
• Dealing with a derailed project manager.
• And enabling virtual teams to thrive even though thousands of miles from each other.

In this webinar we’ll provide tips and techniques for addressing the above, and other common people-related problems.

ITMPI will also cover distinctly different strategies for working with 100% IT teams, as contrasted to situations where IT members are part of a larger, cross-functional team with non-IT members.

Rapid Change Is Now The Norm

If you can’t meet the needs driven by it you must deal with the inevitable fall of revenue as an outcome, which ultimately leads to end of existence (think Black Berry and RIM).

To combat rapid change, organizations are flattening.

Flattening drives things like self-organization, and wisdom of the crowd idea generation. Flattening speeds ideation and time to market on those ideas.

For an organization to succeed with a flattening strategy, management must evolve from a focus on process monitoring and reporting (micro-managing), to a focus on empowerment, goal setting and results communicating (coaching and mentoring). Coaching and mentoring are not natural skills, but acquired skills that need to be practiced.

In this web seminar we will look at best practices managers can follow to begin their “evolution” to the management 2.0 practice of coaching and mentoring, ultimately, leading to the ability to support a self-organized team.

You will learn:

• The difference between coaching and mentoring
• The first law of coaching (don’t give the answer) and how to deal with it
• The first law of mentoring (don’t expect the person you work with to follow your advice) and how to deal with it
• Tactics to practice to enhance your coaching skills
• Items people want from a mentor and items they don’t want

How Emotionally Intelligent Are Your Leaders?

As organizations are increasingly reliant on managers and executives who can do more with less, critical questions are being raised about what steps are necessary to develop such leaders.

The domino effect of great leadership has repercussions in an organization’s ability to attract and retain key talent, increases productivity and supports more robust talent management.

A foundation of research demonstrates that Emotional Intelligence can be a crucial differentiator between good leaders and great ones, but there are still questions about how EI impacts the bottom line.

The changing leadership competencies required for success today demand that we better understand how Emotional Intelligence manifests in leaders, and whether those skills affect performance through consistent and focused assessments and evaluations.

Don’t miss these takeaways:

1. Learn how leadership competencies can be altered to more strongly correlate with the needs of organizations today
2. Determine how Emotional Intelligence defined by organizations and the impact it has on leadership development
3. Find out which leadership behaviors and skills that are most tied to financial performance
4. Gain access to a free copy of this newly released research report!

The Hwaeseong Fortress in Suwon, Korea was built between 1794 and 1796. The wall and fortifications include 48 separate facilities. At the completion of the project, a ten-volume report documented every detail from blueprints to engineering methods, materials, resources and schedule.

In this video, Young Min Park tells how this project was initiated and illustrates how the planning and management processes of this historic project map to the PM processes of today.

In contrast, the Great Wall of China also started as separate fortifications, as early as the 7th century BC. During the Qin Dynasty of 220-206 BC, the scope was changed to a single unified fortress to protect the Chinese Empire. This was an early example of the project manager’s nightmare – ‘Scope Creep’.

In the next video, Jennifer Bridges discusses Scope Management, best practices and some Tips and Tricks for keeping your project ‘On Scope’ and controlling changes to the work required to get the project to ‘Done’
