Enhancing Project Execution With
Change Management Tools & Techniques

Truly successful project managers do not just manage projects well, but help to ensure that their projects create value for the organization.

However, in PMI’s 2014 Pulse of the Profession, research shows that organizations face a wide chasm between their actual state and the state of success, mostly due to a lack of focus on people, processes and outcomes.

While project management processes help to increase the chance of project success, they are often times insufficient when developing plans to address people, processes and the necessary organizational changes that facilitates value creation.

The keys to achieving true project success requires augmenting each of the 10 Knowledge Areas found in the PMBOK® Guide with tools and techniques from the field of organizational change management.

In this content-rich webinar, popular PMI® instructor Thomas Luke Jarocki will delve into each of the 10 Knowledge Areas within the PMBOK® Guide.

He will demonstrate how practical tools and techniques from the field of organizational change management can be utilized to enhance each of these Knowledge Areas so that project managers can develop a unified, comprehensive solution to managing people, projects, and organizational change.

As PMI’s 2013 “Managing Change in Organizations” Practice Guide states: “From stakeholder management to communications to human resources management, elements of change management appear throughout PMI’s foundational standards but are not specifically identified as the phrase ‘change management.’”

Come register and partake in this provocative webinar that finally makes the logical connection between project management and change management.

Presenter: Thomas Luke Jarocki  (LinkedIn profile) author of The Next Evolution – Enhancing and Unifying Project and Change Management: The Emergence One Method for Total Project Success is Managing Director of Emergence One International.  A frequent and popular presenter with PMI audiencesThomas has delivered keynote addresses, numerous workshops, and  has two highly rated workshops that are part of the PMI SeminarsWorld® series.

Resource Capacity Management

Live Webinar – October 7th, 2014 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm EDT
Presented by: Eclipse Project Portfolio Management
Duration: 1 hour 1 PDUs Credits: Category C 1 PDU- Free PDU

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
