With change, the only constant in many organizations, helping others build resilience through uncertainty is arguably one of our most important competencies as learning professionals. With seismic shifts in the world, organizations have to adapt and get ahead of changes that include:

• Globalization
• New technologies and disruptors, including Artificial Intelligence
• The rise of the gig economy and evolving definitions of the employer/employee contract
• New business models
• Mergers and acquisitions
• Diversity & inclusion as a competitive advantage
• Building innovation for success

Recent neuroscience findings have demonstrated that change triggers a sense of danger (the “fight or flight” response) as we are hard-wired to prefer stability. Thriving in this environment, then, requires developing new levels of agility that promote seeing change as an opportunity and a catalyst for personal and professional growth.

Join Marjorie Derven in this interactive webcast to explore how emotional intelligence (EQ) can help us lead others so they can best manage the inevitable stressors to take charge of change for organizational progress.  Leveraging EQ is essential to manage our own biases and enhance the use of self as an instrument of change.

Objectives:

• Explore the four dimensions of Emotional Intelligence (EQ) and how they apply to change management
• Identify what your personal “triggers” are & how they affect your role as a learning and change management professional
• Help others learn how to take ownership of change to contribute fully to organizational progress
• Discover how EQ can help you become a more effective change leader

Presenter: Marjorie Derven, (LinkedIn profile) Founder, HUDSON Research & Consulting, Inc. and author of Leveraging Diversity & Inclusion for a Global Economy  has 20+ years of consulting expertise providing  Emotional Intelligence learning, global teams development, organizational effectiveness, diversity and inclusion, and leadership development.  A Sr Fellow, Human Capital Practice at The Conference Board, a global research organization,  she serves/served on the boards of professional associations, including NY  HR+Strategy, and   T+D Editorial Board. Marjorie is a Diversity Value Index and CLO Learning Elite Judge and serves on the Editorial Board of the OD Practitioner. A Keynote at national conferences, and a monthly blog on diversity and inclusion for the Association of Talent Development and on The Conference Board websites.

My Christmas Card To You

Written by Tony Romeo Sung by: David Cassidy Discography

To you and all your family, your neighbors and your friends
May all your days be happy with a joy that never ends
May peace and love surround you
at Christmas time and all the whole year through

I’m looking out my window at the softly falling snow
that dances in the early morning light
I got my guitar right before me, strummin’ a beautiful sound
watching it a-comin’ down, all around
on the fields and the farms and the road to town

And I’m thinkin’ up a letter that I’m writin’ in my head
a Christmas card to all the folks I love
Instead of lettin’ the postman bring it, I decided I’d rather sing it
especially for you, for you

To you and all your family, your neighbors and your friends
May all your days be happy with a joy that never ends
May peace and love surround you
at Christmas time and all the whole year through

May your life be filled with sunshine, may your every wish come true
May you find the sweet fulfillment in everything you do
May your days be blessed with the very very best
both now and the whole year through
it says so in my Christmas card to …

You and all your family, your neighbors and your friends
May all your days be happy with a joy that never ends
May peace and love surround you
at Christmas time and all the whole year through
at Christmas time and all the whole year through

PMOs are an integral part an organization’s strategic plan for implementing improvement, keeping the business running, and directing change.  The PMO has a wide range of responsibilities with a diverse set of stakeholders and an ever increasing demand for status.

Thus, many PMOs are transforming into “Strategic PMOs” and assumed the role of defining the, and reporting the status of, the clear line of sight from Strategic Intent to Project Outcomes.

This implies a method of consistent reporting status to various stakeholders, of extremely diverse projects, to stakeholders with various job functions throughout the organization.

1. This presentation will examine a real example of creating a Visual Control Board for a HealthCare IT PMO.
2. It will explore the entire foundation of the PMO purpose and how it provides a single visual of all projects.
3. It will demonstrate a sample of the board as well as the purpose of the PMO as a strategic partner.

The presentation will discuss:

• Run the Business / Improve the Business Model
• Strategic Partner Model
• The Importance of a Visual Control Board
• Do Our Project Outcomes Impact KPI’s?
• Communicating Project Status for entire PMO
• PMO Visual Control Chart Example

If you want to better understand a PMO’s approach to communicating the health of multiple projects to many stakeholders via a visual control board, then this presentation is for you.

This example is for a healthcare organization, but the concept spans all industries and provides important knowledge to help the PMO become a strategic partner with the entire organization.
