Bad projects abound, and research by Project Management Institute and others has provided useful insight into the underlying causes of bad projects.

In this webinar Michael looks beyond why projects go bad and explores why bad projects are so hard to kill.

Michael explains how sunk costs, groupthink, escalation of commitment, and conflicts of interest contribute to keeping death-march projects needlessly alive.

Each of these behaviors is defined and illustrated using project stories from history (the sinking of the Titanic and the Concorde jetliner), project stories from the presenter’s own personal experience climbing some of the world’s tallest mountains (Denali, Aconcagua, and Kilimanjaro), and project stories from business (Abilene Paradox and industry-funded soda studies).

Some recently published research about the neural science underlying these behaviors is referenced and the impact of these behaviors is described and then linked to the undercutting of ethics, trust, leadership, and project success.

Walk away with a list of actions that you can take to help avoid being victimized by bad projects.

Presenter: Michael O’Brochta (LinkedIn profile) ACP, PMP  MPM is the author of How To Get Executives To Act For Project Success: Building A Strong Mutual Partnership and has managed hundreds of projects as President of Zozer Inc where Michael helps organizations raise their level of project management performance. As senior project manager at the Central Intelligence Agency, he led the project management and systems engineering training and certification program to mature practices agency-wide.  Since Michael’s recent climb of another of the world’s seven summits, he has been exploring the relationship between project management and mountain climbing

Deliver Personalization at Scale
While Maximizing Learning Impact

Today’s learners want meaningful, personalized learning experiences tailored to their interests and needs, both personally and professionally. And yet, organizations are struggling to deliver personalized learning at scale while aligning learning strategy with organizational objectives.

The truth is, offering a learning experience that’s fun for learners isn’t good enough. The same goes for simply opening the firehose of learning content and hoping for the best.

In order to engage learners, develop critical skills and improve employee and business performance, organizations must take a holistic view of the overall learning experience shared by their people and find new ways to enable and measure purposeful learning.

Join David Wentworth, (LinkedIn profile) Sr. Learning Analyst for Brandon Hall Group and Carl Crisostomo, (LinkedIn profile) Saba Product Manager for Content, Product Manager, Content at Saba Software as they share key insights into how to set the strategic foundation to create a learning experience that engages learners and drives outcomes for your people and your business.

Join them to discover:

• Why the learning experience matters – to your people and your business
• How organizations today are delivering (or not) on the learning experience
• A three-part framework for creating an effective learning experience strategy
• Measurement that matters – how to prove the impact of your learning

Register today to learn how your organization can create a learning experience strategy that delivers personalized learning at scale while demonstrating measurable results and business impact!

Rising workloads, ever-shifting business priorities, greater complexity and a more volatile risk landscape create new strain for already thinly stretched in-house legal departments.

In fact, more than 90% of legal departments foresee workloads increasing in the next two years.

New functionalities, applications and vendor offerings increase the potential for technology to ease the burden by automating work, speeding otherwise manual processes and providing better insight on risk.

However, legal departments have yet to realize the full promise of technology.

During this one-hour webinar, Gartner legal technology experts, Zack Hutto (LinkedIn profile) & Jim Murphy, (LinkedIn profile) Gartner Sr Director Analyst, will share guidance on the need for automation among other technology investments and how those investments can make or break the future of your legal department.

Discussion Topics:

• Understanding the landscape of increasing demands on legal departments
• Using technology to manage and/or automate core legal workflows
• Making the case to invest in legal technology
