Design thinking has emerged as a major trend for how innovative organizations are approaching problem-solving.

Design thinking encourages innovative solutions by drawing on approaches from engineering and design, and combining them with ideas from the arts, social sciences, and the business world.

Design is “old news.”  As Project Managers, we are late to this party.

This is a call to action to my fellow Project Managers: “The future of Project Management is deeply linked with Design.”

In this webinar  Bruce Gay (LinkedIn profile) will demonstrate the benefits of incorporating design on projects while providing a high-level overview of methods and tools.

Everyone agrees that good communication is important for project success, yet how many of us really practice good communication?

Successful projects require good communication between all the people on the project, including but not limited to: project managers, team members, stakeholders, vendors and support people.

However, project communication involves more than just who we communicate with, it also involves the what, how and when we communicate.

Unless you are a one person project, communication is important to your project success and this webinar will help you improve your project communication.

Join Sandy Haydon, PMP (LinkedIn profile) to explore the complexities of project communication. We will cover:

• Who to communicate to?
• What to communicate?
• When and how often to communicate?
• How to select the best media (in person, phone, email, etc.)

As well as other considerations, such as location (the next office, across the country, or around the world), cultures, and generational differences.
