 This presentation offers a no-pressure, stress-free virtual environment to learn about add-ins for Microsoft Project. The products featured in this free vendor presentation address gaps in out-of-the-box functionality thus would require product trial or purchase to use.

Microsoft Project Online and Project Server are powerful PPM solutions.  But they lack a natural connection to critical financial data.

This gap that leads to process inefficiencies and a poor financial visibility. And that could be costing you up to 46% of the planned business value from your program and project portfolios.

Recapturing this lost value requires business planning and controls to streamline the PPM process.

Armed with financial data and strategic insights, organizations can maximize ROI and effectively deliver innovation to drive business results.

Learn how strategic PMOs are transforming PPM to:

• Integrate Investment Planning & Controls across the PPM lifecycle
• Gain Visibility Across All Enterprise Investment Requests & Align with Strategy
• Track Performance & Automate Variance Analysis
• Analyze the Portfolio & Dynamically Reallocate Funds
• Establish a Benefits Realization Framework

Seventy percent of all organizational change efforts fail due to miscommunication.

• Do you want to be one of those statistics?
• Are you having trouble getting employees on board during an organizational change?

Employees don’t like change and will typically resist it.

The role of clear communication during an organizational change is imperative for a successful change implementation.

How, when, and who the change is communicated to has a major impact on whether employees will resist or support the change and whether the change succeeds or fails.

This session will discuss how to successfully lead an organization through change by effectively communicating with employees, customers, and stakeholders so that they are excited about the change, see the value of it, and actively participate in making the change successful.
