Presented by: Solutions Cube Group (REP 2451)

This webinar is the third in a three part series series on “Process Improvement ” by Solutions Cube. Although this module is a part of the series – each module in the series can be taken individually.

Process Improvement efforts should focus on taking the opportunities resulting from the current process assessment activities and converting these to initiatives that can be evaluated and prioritized.

In order to effectively prioritize the initiatives, the process improvement team must understand how each initiative ties back to and supports the objectives of the organization.

To complete the initiatives identification, the team should frame the scope of each initiative by clarifying the project objectives, determining the critical success factors and identifying high level assumptions.

Solutions Cube Group’s webinar “Defining Process Improvement Initiatives” teaches techniques for building a comprehensive project initiative matrix. This matrix is used to analyze multiple improvement efforts and select the most appropriate first to fund.

Attendees will learn how to obtain critical information needed to craft Project Charters.

In this 1 hour in-depth webinar participants learn:

• How to use knowledge gained from process modeling and assessment efforts to define improvement initiatives
• Techniques to ensure each initiative has clear ties to the corporate strategic direction
• How to develop a prioritization model to objectively compare each initiative against others

Teamability^®:
The Ability To Connect With Others
To Form A Productive Team

Individual strengths can lead to a personal triumph,
But a team is greater than the sum of its parts.

Rich Karlgaard, Publisher of Forbes Magazine, recently wrote an article entitled “Teams Matter. Talent is Not Enough.”

In essence, it is a challenge for executives to find and exploit the “magic” of team synergy.

The metrics of teaming now exist!  Even the most extraordinary individual effort is no substitute for great teamwork. Teaming metrics are key to improving selection, increasing engagement, and vastly reducing new-hire turnover, all with measurable business value.

With TGI Teamability:
PMs will be able to create extremely strong teams.

In this introduction you will learn:

• A completely new technology will help you understand why talented, experienced people do not always “team” well with others.
• How to reduce the costs and risks associated with errors in hiring and promoting,
  • Metrics and methods that measure and predict “teaming” behaviors.
  • How to effectively analyze and solve team performance problems.
• How to deliver significant business value by matching people to the functional mission of their team
  • The ‘who fits where’ and the ‘why’ of winning teams
  • Behaviors that impact quality of team interaction and ‘fit’ to job responsibilities
• How it possible to reliably select high quality team players, and to match their job responsibilities to the way they envision themselves serving their team (their “Role”).

This is a MUST TAKE opportunity to help you understand the strengths of your team members placing them in the roles that will make your projects even more successful!

Each month ASPE picks a valuable, substantive business book they think will benefit the professionals they serve. Some are new; some are classics. Either way, They do the reading, then use one of Their free web seminars to deliver a one-hour “book report.”

This month’s book pick is “The SPEED of Trust: The One Thing That Changes Everything” by Stephen M.R. Covey

Take this seminar for 1 Cat A PDU or Earn up to 8 PDUs by reading The SPEED of Trust

The idea that trust is a key ingredient in organizational success is nothing new. Leaders of business, military, and civil duty have long understood its importance.

But what is new is the growing understanding that trust is not just an abstract concept pondered by the C-suite – it’s a tangible, measurable factor in the success of every employee and every team in a company.

In The Speed of Trust, Steven Covey Jr. – son of the late Steven Covey – takes the reins to eloquently explain why trust is the most foundational asset any professional can use to be more effective in their work.

In practical terms, Covey explains why higher levels of trust increase operational speed and efficiency. He breaks down the “cores of credibility” and key behaviors necessary to build trust.

Steven also describes how to spot “counterfeit” behaviors which erode trust, and how to scale trust-building up to the stakeholder, organizational and market level.
