The next generation of project management will
transform project practitioners into leaders
who must deal with strategic & business aspects of their projects
actually improve meeting time and budget goals, and …
build a vision to inspire their teams while having fun.

Projects today are more complex, more uncertain, and faster changing than ever; they are highly impacted by the dynamics in the business environment and, “one size does not fit all.”

The traditional project management discipline is too slow in adapting to these complex and rapid changes.

Furthermore, while the PMI PMBOK Guide and its PMP certification are important and necessary building blocks for the profession, just meeting the project’s ‘triple constraint,’ is insufficient to guarantee its business objectives.

It seems the profession is ready for the next step in its evolution.

Dr. Shenhar presents Strategic Project Leadership® (SPL), which was built on the foundation of traditional project management during twenty years of research and work with corporations.

SPL helps organizations deal with their projects in a flexible and adaptive way, and focus their projects on business results by creating value, competitive advantage, and winning in the marketplace. This integrated, industry-proven, and PMI award-winning approach combines the business-related needs of projects, the operational aspects of getting the job done on time and budget, and the leadership perspective of inspiring and motivating the team.

Dr. Shenhar will use lessons from several famous projects to show how project teams can integrate Strategic Project Leadership® into their current practices by building new skills on top of the existing PMBOK knowledge areas.

Learn about the “Multidimensional Score Card,” “Star of Business” and “Diamond of Innovation” as the new tools added to the traditional methods to lead your innovation innitiatives.

This integrated, industry-proven, and award-winning approach helps organizations deal with the innovation in their projects in a flexible and adaptive way, focus their projects on business results by creating value, competitive advantage, and winning in the marketplace, and build the right spirit for each project.

Presenter: Dr. Shenhar (LinkedIn profile) is currently the CEO of The SPL Group that is dedicated to aligning projects with business and widely regarded as one of the world’s leading experts in project management, innovation, and execution leadership. The first recipient of the PMI® Research Achievement Award, and is the holder of five academic degrees in engineering and management, Dr. Shenhar founded new academic programs, including the project management programs at Stevens Institute of Technology and Rutgers University. He co-authored the book, Reinventing Project Management: The Diamond Approach to Successful Growth & Innovation, (Harvard Business School Press) selected as one of the five best business books of year.

Time management has been the topic of many books and even the profession of others — they tell you how to manage your time better.

But each person has their own set of circumstances, job skills, family or external demands, knowledge and experiences, levels of distraction, and much more that all play a big part in determining how well they manage their time.

This webinar will talk about many of those factors and help you find ways to make yourself better at time management.

Organization structures in most companies today make resource management a daunting task. A lack of visibility into resource allocation and capacity, consistent prioritization and validation of actual work versus planned, contribute to this challenge.

Over 50% of IT organizations surveyed use their “best guess” when determining what capacity IT has to perform projects in a given period.

This webinar presents the fundamentals for creating and implementing a Resource Management Model using people, process and technology. A Resource Management Model is a set of processes that provide visibility, decision support and structure to effectively manage people in an organization.

Allocating resources based on availability and fit, supported by standard processes, will improve the success and predictability of projects across your organization.
