Leaders often proceed under the mistaken belief that as organizational or technical experts, they can simply think their way through difficult problems.
Experimental evidence has time and again illustrated that experts often do no better than non-experts in such analytical situations.
The Critical Thinking Skills course is focused on providing practitioners with both the whys and hows of proper analytical techniques.
It provides a detailed presentation of the ways in which practitioners may consider alternatives and challenge assumptions, all the while illustrating how evidence-based techniques can greatly improve judgmental forecasting and decision making in any type of organization.
In This session you will learn:
- How to decompose information into smaller elements in order to arrange these into a logical pattern
- Employ rigorous brain storming techniques that encourage a broad range of perspectives, including minority and dissenting opinions
- Improve your performance as a leader, manager, and analyst
- Master techniques to generate hypotheses that explain available information and can be used to perform tests to confirm/deny
- Demonstrate an ability to assess cause and effect and then perform a critical review of the premises, assumptions, and logic of the analysis
- Know how to properly structure and test your hypothesis
- Recognize biases and prejudices that get in the way of reliable analysis
- Learn how to select the best analytical tool for a situation from an array of analytic techniques

In his linked in post an “Executive Guide to Application Modernization” Don Suggests:
At the end of the day, it comes down primarily to needing to predict and control four aspects of the modernization:
- resources (financial and personnel)
- time (schedule)
- risk (likelihood and impact)
- value to the organization
Pick any two to minimize, and the other two will vary according to the details of that project.
Based on the treatise Business Rule Extraction in Application Modernization Projects Don Estes (LinkedIn profile) will recommend a methodology for successfully achieving a full and accurate set of functional requirements in legacy modernization.

There is an acknowledged shift within PM away from the traditional ‘plan-then execute’ paradigm, towards an understanding that project-based work in today’s turbulent environments is intimately concerned with resolving ambiguity and complexity, often using a greater degree of ‘soft’ skills.
One result of this shift is a move towards a more ‘improvisational’ style of project-based work, where creativity and an intuitive ‘gut feel’ for what will work in a particular scenario are valued as important contributors to project success.
In this one hour session, Dr. Stephen Leybourne (LinkedIn profile) will offer a number of suggestions relating to how improvised work can contribute to project success, and will:
- Unpick and explain the theoretical underpinnings of organizational improvisation,
- Explain how to use it, and how to control it,
- Give examples of how it can be effective,
- Suggest why today’s project managers need to be aware of it, and
- Supply a ‘route map’ to assist in successful improvisation.
This presentation and the discussion that will follow it, is based on over ten years of research into organizational improvisation within the project domain, and a significant amount of published research by the presenter

Is Your Team Resilient?
Managing resilience in today’s fast paced world of high expectations is tough for individuals and even harder for teams.
The busier teams get, the more likely they are to focus on tasks instead of relationships and that’s expensive!
It costs in lost resources, lost creativity and impairs the ability to build and maintain trust.
When teams build their resilience they expand the ability to share emotions and resources, to stand up for one another, and to take innovative risks.
This webcast will review what team resilience is and why it’s so essential.
Marcia & James will discuss the vital role emotional intelligence skills play in developing team resilience. Strategies that can be used now to build team resilience will be presented.
What you will learn:
- How to define team resilience so you can keep tabs on your teams’ resilience.
- The key emotional intelligence skills that support team positivity and trust, which leads to sustainable resilience.
- Powerful, yet simple, strategies your teams can follow to measure and build their resilience.
