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

Fast moving agile businesses need engaged teams that drive out faster testable insights for extremely reduced time from concept to cash.

NextGen Project Managers and Business Analysts meet this challenge with their own NextGen business competencies – to build shared understanding of trends, customer/market forces and organizational imperatives to drive fast value decision making.

They exert new forms of leadership to help teams of all kinds (IT and beyond) to seed their backlogs with innovative pre-flight tested, market ready ideas.

This series will be a four part deep dive into a competency wheel for new project leaders called the Discovery Leadership framework.

Developed by Kupe Kupersmith CBAP®, (LinkedIn @Kupe)President B2T Training, and Curtis Michelson (LinkedIn profile) with guidance from a global community, the framework is a holistic set of competencies grouped into four chunks.

• How far can we see – into the future, into the business and into the customer and market forces that impact us?

That’s the differentiating edge we’ll explore in this first session.

There are two lenses through which we’ll peer in this session:

1. The systems thinking lens and
2. The customer and design thinking lens.

Those two lenses drive us to three core outcomes:

1. Better problem statements or “hypotheses”,
2. Richer multi-perspectival value stories and
3. A laboratory for creating experiments to test your NextGen ideas.

Join Curtis Michelson in this deep dive into a competency wheel for new project leaders.

Course Learning Objectives Include:

• Five essential factors that must be in place for NextGen insight generation
• Four ways to get robust and timely customer insight
• Two tools you can use for generating valuable models

With the Course You Will Receive:

• Access to the Live and Recorded Version of Webinar
• Personalized Certificate of Attendance
• Copy of Presentation Slides
