Microsoft’s Project Portfolio Management (PPM) solution has often been characterized as a tool suitable only for waterfall projects.

Anything iterative or Agile cannot be done using PPM. Please join Bob Tyler (LinkedIn profile) as he proves these claims false!

PPM is a very powerful scheduling tool, but it can also be used very effectively on projects using Agile or other iterative methodologies.

Using the latest version of PPM, Bob will demonstrate how it can be done, with most of the work being done directly in Project Web App. Requiring nothing more than configuration changes to Microsoft Project and the Project Server, PPM can be used very efficiently to manage Agile projects.

No custom coding or macros are required!

“Everyone has a plan
‘Till you get punched in the mouth.”
– Mike Tyson

Do you feel like you are getting punched in the mouth almost on a daily basis?

Best laid plans…

The reality is that the unexpected will continue to happen. In a recent infographic, by Bersin by Deloitte, they report that the modern learner only has about 1% of a typical workweek to devote to learning, that is about 4.8 minutes a day for those keeping track.

This phenomenon is primarily true for very successful organizations.  Certainly, not enough to develop good leaders quickly and effectively.

Enter Emergent Leadership. In a nutshell, emergent leadership is when, unexpectedly, leaders become visible to the organization, ready to serve.

There are two definitions of the word emergent. The one that most of us are familiar with states that when something emerges, it becomes prominent.

However, in our case, we are focusing on the second definition, which says, when something emerges, it is rising unexpectedly. Sound familiar?

If this is all true, then wouldn’t it be helpful to know:

• If there is a way to create an environment that nurtures and facilitates leaders to emerge?
• Rise unexpectedly?

Purely from a law of averages, there are many leaders in your organization, you just don’t know them, yet.

In this session, both Dr. Jeff Miller, (LinkedIn profile) Senior Director of Talent Management and Dr. Tom Tonkin, (LinkedIn profile) Principal Consultant, Advisory Services for Cornerstone OnDemand, address several emerging leadership trends of high-performing organizations by examining how companies are addressing this new, often misunderstood opportunity.

Dr. Miller and Dr. Tonkin walk you through:

• The genesis of emergent leadership
• How to identify emergent leaders
• Creating an environment in which emergent leaders, well, emerge

Success stories, lessons learned and others available resources will be shared to bolster your organization’s emergent leadership efforts.

The strategic plans of most organizations share the same core focus: employee retention.

Employee turnover is extremely costly because of the loss of productivity and the expensive need to fill the position. HR Professionals are left with the complex challenge of figuring out how to retain employees.

Widely known research has shown that successful formal onboarding is a critical driver of employee retention.

There is a misconception that onboarding should begin on the employee’s first day of joining the organization; however, onboarding should be integrated into the talent acquisition process, and should start with the initial contact made with the potential employee.

New hires often make a decision on how long they plan to stay with an organization by how well the first 90 days are in their new role.

It is important to ensure the onboarding program is comprehensive and well laid out for every position. Research finds that employees who have poor onboarding experiences tend to leave the company within 1-2 years.

Learn:

• The business case for onboarding
• Current trends in onboarding
• Integration of onboarding into the talent acquisition process
• Key metrics to measure the ROI of onboarding
• Ability to create an action plan to implement into your organization
