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.

The intentions of compliance training are very good. They save lives and protect assets.

BUT – Compliance courses are well-known to be dry, boring, hard to follow,  too full of legalese and often overly technical.  “Section 1078b of the code requires that you do so and so.” No wonder they don’t resonate with us!  People are social animals.  Don’t we connect with other people and their experiences better than rules and regs?

How would your learners’ minds engage with a lesson that starts “John lost his right arm due to an explosion” or “Food poisoning brought down Chipotle’s sales”?

Emotional, impactful stories make it easier for learners to quickly relate

to the point of compliance rules and accept them.

The challenge is to understand how to create and select the right stories and how to present them to be effective in achieving the goals of your compliance training.

In this webinar learn:

• How to select short and engaging stories to replace boring compliance lessons
• How to convert compliance legalese into easy-to-understand stories and experiences
• The step-by-step structure of effective story-based compliance lessons
• How to use story-based compliance lessons to meet regulatory reporting rules

“Shadow IT” is on the rise, and resistance is futile. It no longer makes sense for the IT organization to be the sole provider, broker and gatekeeper for Information and technology (I&T) capabilities.

CIOs must adapt the IT organization’s role and the I&T operating model to engage with and support a super-distributed approach to exploiting information and technology.

In this webinar Simon Mingay, (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner VP Analyst, discovers how to embrace “shadow IT” to accelerate digital execution.

Discussion Topics:

• Why the scope and sophistication of Shadow IT is increasing
• Symptoms and causes of Shadow IT that you need to address
• How you can integrate business-led initiatives within the I&T operating model
