Activity Type: Education – Course or Training  1 Hour  1 PDU
Provider: Human Capital Institute

For the longest time, we’ve been talking about best places to work, best cultures, and best-managed companies.

For who though?

The jury is still out. We have credit unions comparing themselves to big banks, small accounting firms sizing themselves up against the Big 4, and nearly everyone striving to have that elusive ‘Google’ culture.

What if a ‘best’ workplace didn’t exist?
Turns out that it doesn’t, but an ‘optimized’ culture does!

In this webinar Eric Termuende, (LinkedIn profile) Co-Founder, NoW Innovations will discuss the difference between optimized and best culture, and work through an action plan to discover not only what an optimized culture looks like, but how to take key steps in building a place where company and employee are aligned.

Takeaways:

  • Most companies use their ‘best (culture, managed, engaged)’ status as a badge without understanding why
  • Employee experience within the workplace must match stated experience and align with your company’s mission, vision, and value statements.
  • Engagement in an optimized workplace occurs when people do their best work when they can just be
  • Recognition in an optimized workplace is a moving target, and easy to hit when people and patterns are understood

    Live Webinar – May 30th 2019 7:30 am – 8:30 am EDT
    Live Webinar – May 30th 2019 12:30 PM – 1:30 PM BT
    Activity Type: Education – Course or Training  1 Hour  1 PDU
    Provider: Association for Project Management – APM

    The Carillion collapse in early 2018 seemingly took many by surprise as they were ‘too big to fail’.

    In this webinar Alastair Greenan looks at what to do when, despite the due diligence you have undertaken, your contractors start(s) to fail financially in the middle of the project.

     

    Using two recently completed projects as examples, Alastair will look at:

    • common reasons for failure mid-project,
    • early warning signs, and
    • what can be done to best manage the situation, should a provider start to fall down the slippery and accelerating slope into insolvency.

    By the end of the webinar you will have an understanding of why, how, and when these situations occur & how a combination of both good contract and project management can help you navigate your way through the storm to achieve the best outcome possible.

    This webinar will cover:

    • An overview
    • The underlying causes of failure
    • The early warning signs
    • When & how to intervene
    • Key issues you may need to work through
    • Final Q&A’s

    This is the third of three planned webinars on provider insolvency.  The first one looked at selecting a solvent provider, and the second at provisions that can go into a contract to offer some protection.

    Note: This is the second of three planned webinars on provider insolvency. The first one looked at selecting a solvent provider, while the last one will look at what to do when a provider starts to unravel on your project, using lessons learned from an experienced project manager.

    Presenter: Alastair Greenan has 25+ years project and contract management experience in a number of industry sectors including Oil and Gas, Healthcare, Power, Manufacturing and Defence, and has worked on projects in the US, Europe, Middle East, Africa and the Far East.  A Chartered Engineer, Fellow of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Fellow of the Institute of Risk Management and (most importantly) a Fellow of APM and member of APM Contracts and Procurement SIG;  Alastair has been a contributor to the APM Body of Knowledge, co-author of NEC Professional Services Short and helped write the APM Guide to Contracts & Procurement.

    The one question your C-suite thinks about more than any other is return on investment (ROI).

    Even while companies like yours collectively spend billions on employee engagement, efforts to address quantifiable ROI for these programs have been sparse. Just because calculating the ROI for employee engagement can be complicated doesn’t mean it can’t be done.

    In this webcast, Scott Rigby PhD (LinkedIn profile) Behavioral Scientist, Founder/CEO, MotivationWorks; will cover four foundational factors that will better focus you on specific aspects of your employee engagement program that multiply its ROI impact (and your success at measuring it).

    Scott will cover clear principles and tactics you can immediately deploy to drive quantifiable improvement to bottom-line ROI, while simultaneously building greater buy-in from leaders, managers, and employees themselves.
