Work looks completely different today than it did just a generation ago.

Where we work looks different, how we work has changed, and the skills any given employee needs are evolving faster than we can keep up.

Employers especially need workers skilled in software development, marketing and sales management, engineering, web development, and financial management, but those jobs are taking longer and longer to fill.

On top of those open jobs, employers will need to fill roles by 2020 in emerging fields like robotics, data science, automation, and content curation.

The skills gap is widening and the solution doesn’t belong to one player working alone.

Employers, universities, and individuals will all need to invest in lifelong learning and creative ways to collaborate.

In this webinar, Alex Cowan, (LinkedIn profile) Batten Fellow & Adjunct Faculty and University of Virginia Darden School of Business, Leah Belsky (LinkedIn profile) VP of Global Enterprise Development, Coursera and Ian Stuart, (LinkedIn profile) Director of Learning and Development at Coursera, will discuss the framework to move everyone forward, together.

The information age is finally living up to its full potential. No longer is data a business driver, but along with the people that use it, an absolute necessity.

Remarkably, at the same time, organizations have lost control of data management – business users now dictate what, where, how and when data is created and utilized.

Successful organizations are realizing that they shouldn’t “control” data, but instead enable users to maximize its benefits.

Join Alan Dayley (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Research Director as he discusses how to address stakeholders on the  “Changing Dynamics For Data Management” and how technology vendors can assist organizations down this path.

Discussion Topics:

• The real challenges organizations face in managing data
• How to sell solutions that assist organizations in enabling data users, instead of controlling data
• How to quit selling data management technologies and what to offer instead

A sea change in project management practice and principles is already well underway.

The roots go back as far as knowledge created and discovered in the early 20th century, but received a tremendous shot in the arm when the Agile Manifesto and Principles leapt into the world from its crèche in Snowbird, Utah.

Commerce changes the world, drives both war and peace, and projects both move the initiatives of commerce forward and actualize them in organizations and in society.

Simultaneously over the last 125 years, the populations we deal with have become increasingly well-educated, sophisticated, driven by their curiosity and need for self-expression and at the same time various forms of democracy and people based leadership and governance have evolved within governments large and small.

In the late 20th century, the forces of globalization and climate change have increasingly destabilized organizations and markets of all sizes.

We live in an era where—as so many times in the past—change is a fact of our daily lives and the rate of change is increasingly.

Meanwhile, the world of the mind geometrically expands, informs more complex products and service delivery while interacting with the effects of globalization and climate change in a self-reinforcing loop.

We cannot manage—or more accurately—lead projects in the way we have in the past.

Join Jean Richardson (LinkedIn profile) & Learn about:

• The context driving changes in project management.
• A range of emerging approaches to project management.
• The key thing project managers must address as new approaches to project management enter their professional context.
• Pointers for learning more and flowing with the changes emerging in the field.
