The Internet of Things (IoT) will impact device providers enabling the smart workplace and future business environments.

The smart workplace will aim to improve effectiveness of employees and enable them to contextually interact with connected “things.”

In this webinar Annette Jump (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) provides recommendations to device product managers around technology changes and necessary investments areas in devices for the short term, mid-term and long term around “the smart workplace”.

Discussion Topics:

• What impact IoT will have on device providers and how it will enable the creation of smart workplace
• How the ongoing changes in connectivity landscape around IoT will impact device providers and device integration in the next 6 – 12 months
• How the ongoing changes in connectivity landscape around IoT will impact device providers and device integration in the next 6 – 12 months

The Program or Project Manager’s Leadership Role

Dr. Ginger Levin has worked in the IT/IS field for 49 years,
And has decades of experience in organizational  maturity assessments!

Research conducted by PMI in its “Pulse of the Profession” Reports show “organizations continue wasting US $120 million for every US $1 billion invested in projects and programs” (PMI, Pulse 2015, p.2).

This loss of $120 million is a large number, which has increased since last year.

This webinar describes some research to determine why so much money is wasted and how to reverse this trend.

It focuses on leadership and the people aspects of projects since people are responsible for program and project success or failure.

It provides other suggestions than those noted by PMI in the “Pulse” reports and presents guidelines you can use to make key changes to decrease the continual loss of funds in failed projects.
