Many companies around the globe are embracing the mindset of Lean systems, which emphasize the prevention of waste.

Waste is defined as extra time, labor, or materials spent producing a product or service that doesn’t add value to it.

Program and project managers unanimously agree that there is ample opportunity to reduce if not eliminate project work, but they are unsure where to start when each outcome is unique and customer relationships are more important than standardized processes.

This webinar will show how Lean intersects with agile and where to start to embrace the concepts and benefits of continuous improvement in project work.

Learning objectives:

• Determine how Lean can be applied in a service environment.
• Adopt best practices of Lean in project management.
• Determine how Lean and agile approaches intersect to deliver continuous improvement.
• Become familiar with key definitions and concepts of process improvement.

In this webinar Fernando Arturo Santiago (LinkedIn profile) & Kik Piney (LinkedIn profile) provide an introduction to the extension of the Earned Value Management (EVM) framework to the area of benefits realization management (BRM).

The “third musketeer” is a new indicator, Realization Performance Indicator (RPI), which complements the existing CPI and SPI.

RPI is calculated in a similar way to these indicators. One of the advantages of RPI is that it can be calculated throughout the delivery phase based on an adjusted forecast of benefits compared to the business case baseline.

The presentation includes a case study in which a program is executed over three quarters, and the three “musketeers”, CPI, SPI and RPI, are calculated based on performance, changes in the plan, and expected benefits.

Gone are the days of someone working for one company for their entire career. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average person will change jobs 12 times before retiring.

This increase in employee turnover can often be attributed to times of change and uncertainty in the workplace, like layoffs, restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, etc.

Change in the workplace is inevitable, but it doesn’t have to be seen as negative, and it certainly doesn’t have to become a reason for talented employees to leave your company.

Join Daniel Binkholder and Derek Smith from BizLibrary as they discuss how times of change and uncertainty can become opportunities to move your workforce in the right direction. They’ll explain how learning and development is key to alleviating some of the stress that change and uncertainty brings to employees and their organizations.

Learn:

• Why not being prepared during times of change and uncertainty is creating higher turnover
• How to use L&D successfully during times of change and uncertainty
• The proper ways to communicate to keep a strong workforce during times of change and uncertainty

Daniel Binkholder (LinkedIn profile) Client Success Consultant  BizLibrary, strategically consults on the training programs for individual clients to maximize training ROI. Daniel shares best practices, provides resources to employees & leadership, and considers approaches to rolling out new programs. Previously he worked in higher education for 7 years, gaining valuable insight on the application of learning science and the impact of technology on L&D.
