This webinar is the first in a two part series series on “Stakeholder Analysis” by Solutions Cube. Although this module is a part of the series – each module in the series can be taken individually.

Whether your project is large or small, it’s important to know who your stakeholders are and what they expect from the project. How are they going to be involved in the project and what kind of communication do they need? How do you figure out who the people and organizations are that need to be engaged in your project and what their perceived impact of the project is on the area they’re representing?

This is the first webinar in a 2 part series on Stakeholder Analysis. This webinar will discuss how to identify your stakeholders and obtain information about those stakeholders required to ensure that the project is a success.

Attend this 1 hour presentation to learn how to perform a stakeholder analysis, document the results of your analysis in the Stakeholder Register, and use the information to determine what key stakeholder expectations and communication needs are.

In this 1 hour in-depth webinar participants learn:

• Identify all stakeholders impacted by the project and who have influence on the project
• Gather critical information about each stakeholder
• Develop the Stakeholder Register

Free tools are great, because they are always in budget, right?

Well, not always, because your time is valuable. You can waste a lot of time if you misuse free tools.

However, with commercial tool vendors pounding down your doors, trying to convince you to buy their gee-whiz test tool (often with a gee-whiz price tag to match), you might forget to look at the open-source test tool options available to you.

In this talk, drawn from three decades of industry experience including recent consulting work with many clients, Rex will provide some case studies—and the lessons we can learn from them—in successful use of free tools.

Rex will also give some cautionary tales of free tool usage gone astray.

How Being New, Naïve, and Even Clueless Can Be an Asset

In a rapidly changing world, experience can be a curse. Rookies are unencumbered, with no baggage to weigh them down, no resources to burden them, and no track record to limit their thinking or aspirations.

For today’s knowledge workers, constant learning is more valuable than mastery. Leadership expert Liz Wiseman argues that the most successful rookies are hunter-gatherers — alert and seeking, cautious but quick like firewalkers, and hungry and relentless like pioneers.

Most importantly, she identifies a breed of leaders she refers to as “perpetual rookies.” Despite years of experience, they retain their rookie smarts, thinking and operating with the mindsets and practices of these high-performing rookies.

This webcast explores the questions every experienced professional faces: “Will my knowledge and skills become obsolete and irrelevant? Will a young, inexperienced newcomer upend my company or me? How can I keep up?”

The answer is to stay fresh, keep learning, and know when to think like a rookie.

In this session Liz will offer vivid illustrations, personal reflection, and practical tools to help leaders keep themselves and their entire team fresh, relevant, and performing at the top of their game.

Note: We encourage you to register even if you are unable to attend live; you’ll receive replay information following the event.
