Having project stakeholders make decisions in a timely manner and complete project work can have varied results from project to project, and team to team.

Studies have shown that quality and timeliness of project work increases dramatically when collaborative meetings are used to bring the “right stakeholders” together to make decisions and create deliverables on projects.

Learning how to effectively leverage the power of collaborative meetings and keep project stakeholders engaged in and productive during meetings is the focus of this 1 hour course offered in Solution’s Cube Group’s Collaborative Meeting Series of webinars.

Learn about structuring meetings, selecting participants, creating deliverables in a real time environment and managing stakeholder participation.

In this 1 hour live in-depth Webinar participants learn how to:

• Use collaborative meetings (JAD meetings) to improve the quality of deliverables
• Enable project stakeholders to gain alignment and buy-in on project decisions
• Determine who the “right” project stakeholders are for project meetings
• Use Ground Rules for managing stakeholder participation and improving project meeting results

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
