Project Portfolio Management (PPM) is a strategic decision making approach aimed at maximizing overall returns on project investments. By focusing on the “right” projects, it is expected that there will be improved organization alignment to strategic plans as well as optimized utilization of financial and human resources.

Unfortunately, there is a significant amount of misinformation in the marketplace about PPM and many organizations that have attempted to implement these practices have failed. Of course, vendors stand ready to “help” unsuspecting executives with snake oil claims of “silver bullet” process or tool purchases to achieve PPM nirvana.

This webinar will provide you with a solid grounding of PPM principles – costs, benefits, critical success factors and lessons learned. These will help you decide whether pursuing PPM improvement is a valuable and realistic goal for your organization. This presentation will also improve your knowledge of the PPM lifecycle and provide you with the key decisions and approaches necessary to launch a successful PPM initiative.

Who should attend this webinar?
C-Level Management, IT Directors and Managers or Directors of PMOs

While our world is now fully global, most educational institutions are failing us drastically when it comes to preparing employees to work across cultures.

While most jobs nowadays require some type of across the border interaction, too few employees are appropriately prepared to avoid the cross-cultural land mines that lay within the international arena.

Through this session, participants will learn how to:

• Discover the different cultural dimensions at play when interacting across cultures
• Position themselves within cultures
• Learn about culturally different leadership styles
• Tweak their communication style to bond across cultures
• Adjust their culturally rooted expectations

Training for international success is indeed required today.

Integrating cultural intelligence and developing a global mindset are effective ways to reduce frustration and failure for those who are part of a global organization.

This session will be useful to anyone who is part of a multicultural distributed team, in charge of either purchasing or selling abroad–or simply interacting with people located in different time zones.
