Share

Live Webinar April 11th, 2018 – 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm EDT
Activity Type: Education – Course or Training  1 Hour  1 PDU free
Provider:  The Corporate Education Group ( REP 1011 )

The Project Management Institute (PMI) has published the 6th edition of A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) and a companion guide dedicated to agile practices.

The impetus?

According to the PMI 2017 Pulse of the Profession® report, a full 71% of organizations say they are using agile approaches for their projects sometimes, often, or always. And yet, for many practitioners the adoption of agile practices often means a diminished role for the project manager.

Join Bonnie Cooper in this webinar to explore the agile infusion in the PMBOK® Guide and the companion Agile Practice Guide, as well, and the reality of trying to integrate traditional project management and incremental, adaptive development practices.

Learning goals:

  • Review of the PMBOK Guide – Sixth Edition changes and Agile Practice Guide
  • Discuss what it means to be an agile project manager
  • Discuss the reality of the integration between traditional project management and agile development practices

Presenter: Bonnie Cooper (LinkedIn profile), PMP®, Instructor and Consultant for Corporate Education Group, is a twenty-year information technology professional. In her current role as the Program Director for the Massachusetts Medical Society™(MMS) Corporate IT Program Office, Bonnie is responsible for coordinating the efforts of project teams, overseeing the implementation of project standards, managing the corporate IT strategic plan, and leading the program to re-engineer the membership platform for MMS.

Are your people and organization ready to take full advantage of new waves of automation and innovation?

In our digital world, CIOs must bring together technology and business context to support major changes in work and jobs, in organizational structures and culture.

Evolving talent practices will unify action in all three areas to create the future of work.

This involves, first, assessing the key technological, social and cultural forces acting on workers.

Second, it involves exploring the interplay of technology and people to find new ways of working and new businesses.

In this webinar, Helen Poitevin (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) reviews how CIOs should lead in bringing together technology and people to build tomorrow’s businesses, platforms and ecosystems and prepare employees to thrive in them.

Discussion Topics:

  • AI as a job motivator: how to tell this story and make it real across your organization
  • Digital dexterity and workplace strategies to equip workers with the skills, learning and tools to thrive in digital business
  • Support new ways of working and future business models
  • Assess and reform organizational design, culture, diversity, talent practices and human capital management (HCM) technologies

Data, analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) are becoming increasingly pervasive in how we work, interact and live, enabling a whole new way of thinking and experiencing the world.

Yet not everyone knows how to engage in our new data-driven atmosphere. This has created a data literacy gap, and it is widening.

Data literacy has become a new core competency, as fundamental as the language we speak.

In this webinar, Valerie A. Logan (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Research Director will explore the emergence of the data literacy gap and help you treat information as your new second language.

Discussion Topics:

  • Understand data literacy and why it’s important now
  • What is Information as a Second Language (ISL)
  • How ISL relates to growing data literacy
  • Key steps to start growing data literacy individually, and organizationally
