Picture this scene: Your company has created a new line of business and is now under pressure to deliver. After a lengthy concept phase the first product is approved to be developed. An external business partnership is formed, the new internal business team is lined up, sponsors have high expectations and the pace is frenetic. An experienced IT project manager (you) has been identified as the best option to help manage product delivery and address complex stakeholder relationships and expectations.

Did Bonnie mention that this looks nothing like an IT project?

• What should you do first?
• How do you balance the time needed to ramp up with the time pressure to make a difference NOW?
• What does your experience tell you to keep or change in your approach to managing this project?

Based on her personal experience, join Bonnie in this adventure of surviving her first product launch.

In this webinar you will learn how to:

• Quickly establish a project framework in a chaotic environment
• Differentiate between product and project manager roles and responsibilities
• Apply traditional, agile and extreme project management techniques to support the team and manage stakeholders

SharePoint is often misunderstood and underestimated. While most organizations and IT departments start off seeing SharePoint as a document repository and version control solution, they fail to fully understand the power of SharePoint to change the way a business operates.

As an information and collaboration platform, SharePoint goes way beyond just document management. SharePoint provides tools which brings team together in a way that has never been fully seen with technology in the past.

The broad spectrum of information management features in SharePoint from enterprise content management to document lifecycle and then with all the new 2013 social features, SharePoint is not a system you deploy without a full understanding of its implications to impact the way information flows within an organization.

SharePoint will change the way your people work and that has a significant impact on the way you do business as well as a direct effect on the bottom line.

This one hour webinar will give an overview of the requirements for planning and governance prior to ever taking SharePoint out of its wrapper.

1. You will understand why it is important to have a plan for SharePoint that is tied to your organizations vision and business goals.
2. You will learn what the often misunderstood purpose for Governance is and why Governance is a living, breathing, and ongoing initiative which is critical to the success of SharePoint.
3. Finally, Tom will discuss some best practices for driving adoption and how to guarantee your SharePoint ROI is maximized through proper training and support.

The topics that will be covered in this one hour webinar:

• What is SharePoint?
• Why Planning is critical
• Connecting SharePoint to your organization Mission and goals
• SharePoint as a tool, not a manager
• What is Governance?
• Choosing your governance team
• The ongoing maintenance of governance
• Training, planning, and adoption

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.

Who should attend this webinar?
COO’s, CIOs, Department VPs and Managers, PMs, Resource Managers

When we say leadership, we are essentially talking about creating the right blend of-
People development/ team empowerment
Personal enrichment- Yes, leadership is as much about the personal and professional well-being of the leader as much as it is about being able to mentor, coach and inspire others!
Process management/ process improvement

.

To create a fundamental shift in our approach to corporate leadership, we need to start viewing leadership as a wholesome experience, a journey leading to personal, professional and corporate turnaround.

The focus needs to be on developing a sustainable, stable culture of collaborative leadership and becoming an I’m O.K- You’re O.K leader.

It distills down to creating implementable strategies that will allow the leader to be self-empowering and self aware, thus developing a dependable personality (an I’m O.K personality with minimal issues about self-worth, self-confidence, insecurities, power-struggles, etc.) and to be team-enriching (The You’re O.K position where the leader has developed the capabilities to appreciate and respect differences to enrich the team, allowing individuals to work on their strengths and encouraging change from within).

It is about self-empowerment and team enrichment, process improvement and strategic alignment- A wholesome leadership where the journey is as important as the destination.

This webinar will unfold the four different faces of interpersonal interactions based on self awareness and team recognition, each of which leaves a distinctive mark on the leadership style, and hence, performance, in a given team or organization.
