Cryptocurrencies are a new form of value transfer. 

Many are beginning to treat them as a digital currency that leverages encryption to regulate the digital monetary units and verify the transfer and movement of the funds/value.

Cryptocurrencies operate totally independent of a central bank and are not backed by any nation – at least at this point.

In January, the total value of cryptocurrencies in circulation exceeded the annual GDP of nearly 60 percent of countries in the world today.

This new form of value/money/payment is growing and beginning to impact organizations around the world.

in this webinar Kevin Coleman will provide a basic understanding of cryptocurrencies and examine how they are being used today and their likely path forward.

Presenter:  Kevin Coleman (LinkedIn profile) is a published thought-leader that speaks addressing the hottest topics in business, government who’s career spans 25+ years.  He has spoken before the U.S. Congress, the United Nations, U.S. Strategic Command (StratCom) and to leading executives in 42 countries. He was the Chief Strategist for Netscape., prior to that,VP and Chief Strategist at Claremont Technology Group .  He joined Claremont from his position as a principal in the National Consulting Practice at CSC and began his career at  Deloitte.

So you’ve been assigned a complex,
poorly defined project concept
So now what?

Nothing is worse (or better) for a senior project manager or analyst than being handed a project that is: strategic, very large, and way outside your comfort zone in complexity.

These projects will sometimes roll around the halls of big companies for months while they struggle to gain sufficient momentum and clarity to really move forward with a sense of purpose and direction.

• Let’s say one of these career-bruisers/-builders is yours?
• What do you do next?

This session is about the tactics of early-stage project intake and clarification – getting clarity efficiently.

Learning objectives:

1. Inside the project intake process – why is intake so dysfunctional?
2. The action plan – simple steps that drive project clarity and milestones that deliver benefit.
3. Targeted result – time tested deliverables that work
