Closing Q&A webinar for October Book Club on Managing Stakeholders as Clients: Sponsorship, Partnership, Leadership and Citizenship – Second Edition by Mario Trentim.

Projects often run adrift despite our best efforts. One of the most commonly overlooked pitfalls is inadequate and ineffective stakeholder management.

Gathering decades of research on communications and stakeholder relations, Mario Trentim (LinkedIn profile), PfMP, CBAP, suggests a paradigm shift in the way project managers view their stakeholders.

Using the four “ships” (sponsorship, partnership, leadership, and citizenship), the author charts a successful path for identifying and communicating with stakeholders that will positively impact the way you view stakeholders and how they influence your project.

Managing Stakeholders as Clients: Sponsorship, Partnership, Leadership and Citizenship is a new approach, moving away from traditional stakeholder management where the focus is managing expectations, to a proactive engagement and involvement of stakeholders.

In this newly revised edition, Mario goes beyond theory to offer real tools and valuable resources focused on presenting what works when it comes to stakeholder management.

His light, conversational style pulls together a wide range of perspectives on various topics including: A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide)–Fifth Edition (PMBOK® Guide), agile, PRINCE2™, emotional intelligence, and soft systems methodology.

Look beyond traditional project management schedules and work breakdown structures and enhance your stakeholder management skills to take your projects to the next level.

Learn one of the top secrets of successful managers – the secret of delegation.

Delegation is more than telling people what to do – when done right, it allows others to feel empowered and responsible.

When faced with the choice to delegate or not, we are often faced with obstacles – lack of control, lack of trust in the other person, lack of time to teach how to do the task.

This class will address these issues and how to overcome them so you can excel as a highly successful leader.

Benefits:

• Develop a customized delegation plan
• Discover the obstacles keeping you from your delegation potential
• Create strategies to implement your delegation plan

Who should attend:

• Project managers, Portfolio managers,
• Project team members, Project Leads,
• Project sponsors & function/business unit managers,
• Subject Matter Experts, Business Analysts, Scheduling Specialists and ….
• Other business stakeholders.

Everybody’s Biased!

We all harbor unconscious assumptions about people who are different from us that get in the way of our good intentions and keep us from working together harmoniously and effectively.

So in an increasingly diverse and globalized world, what does respecting difference actually require?

Join bias experts (and biracial couple) Tiffany Jana and Matthew Freeman for an hour-long webcast where you will learn how to identify your personal points of privilege, make genuine connections with people who aren’t like you, and figure out how to break down social barriers across a spectrum of differences (race, religion, sex, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and more).

Tiffany and Matthew will discuss hidden biases and show how they arise from our histories and cloud our perceptions and use vivid and fun (yes, fun!) stories to help you become open to encountering people, cultures, and ideas outside our usual comfort zone.

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

Make sure to tune in!
