Stakeholder Engagement helps us understand what people involved with a project want, and how to engage them to help achieve project success. For both new and experienced project managers, a big challenge is where to go for guidance on the topic.

The Stakeholder Engagement Focus Group, part of the APM People SIG , has started to collate stakeholder engagement resources on the APM Website.

This webinar provides an overview of the information and tools currently available and how you can help add to and improve this facility.

There are many reasons why projects may struggle to meet their goals but a lack of effective stakeholder engagement is widely acknowledged to be one of the main issues.

The Stakeholder Engagement Focus Group (SEFG), now part of the APM People SIG, was established to encourage practitioners to make stakeholder engagement a higher priority.

The first project for the SEFG was to start collating stakeholder engagement resources.

The aim is to support project professionals by sharing case studies, creating an introduction to the key principles of stakeholder engagement, and pointing to relevant and useful reference materials.

These APM Stakeholder Resources are now available on the APM website and .accessible to anyone!

In this webinar Fran and Ian will introduce the Stakeholder Engagement Focus Group, provide an update on the SEFG’s progress to date and the materials available on the APM site, and plans for improving and building on these resources.

Most projects involve contracts with external providers or suppliers of good and services. Those taking on the role of project managers therefore need to know and understand the basics of contract law in order to be effective and avoid risks being ‘gotchas’!

Most projects involve buying something from an external provider. This can range from ‘off the shelf’ widgets to complex contracts for multi-million packages.

Regardless, if you don’t know the basics of contract law, both in the procurement and ‘in-contract’ management phase, you can inadvertently put your organisation at significant commercial risk.

On the other hand, if both parties clearly articulate and understand their legal and contractual obligations, then the project is far more likely to be a success.

What does this mean?

Having a basic knowledge of contract law is an essential pre-requisite for an effective project manager!

This is a three-part series of one hour webinars, each tackling a distinct issue.

Presenter: Sarah Schütte (LinkedIn profile) is a UK-qualified solicitor-advocate for Schutte Consulting Limited. With 16+ years’ experience, with a wide variety of industry clients to support their projects, disputes, corporate and project risk management and insurance strategies and training programmes, both in the UK and abroad. Sarah has developed a niche practice in planning, programing and project management (PPM and P3M), project controls and the law. She advocates confident and competent contract and commercial management, and focuses on putting law into practice so that project management practitioners develop essential knowledge and skills.

What Is Productive Laziness?

‘Progress isn’t made by early risers. It’s made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something.’ Robert Heinlein (1907 – 1988)

Watch Peter’s Presentation At InfoShare 2014 (below)

By advocating being a ‘lazy’ project manager Peter does not intend that we should all do absolutely nothing.

Peter is not saying we should all sit around drinking coffee, reading a good book and engaging in idle gossip whilst watching the project hours go by and the non-delivered project milestones disappear over the horizon. That would obviously be plain stupid and would result in an extremely short career in project management, in fact probably a very short career full stop!

Lazy Does Not Mean “Stupid”

Peter just means that we should all adopt a more focused approach to project management and to exercise our efforts where it really matters, rather than rushing around like busy, busy bees involving ourselves in unimportant, non-critical activities that others can better address, or indeed that do not need addressing at all in some cases.

Presenter:  Peter Taylor PMP– (LinkedIn profile, @TheLazyPM) is a dynamic and commercially astute professional who has achieved notable success in Project Management.Peter’s background in PM  over the last 30+ years, MRP/ERP systems, Business Intelligence (BI) and PLM. He has spent the last 10 years leading PMOs and developing project managers.

Peter is a very accomplished communicator and leader. As a professional speaker as well as the author ofThe Lazy Project Manager: How to be twice as productive and still leave the office early (Infinite Ideas) and ‘Leading Successful Pmos: How to Build the Best Project Management Office for Your Business,  The Lazy Project Manager and the Project from Hell and his newest book The Social Project Manager: Balancing Collaboration with Centralised Control in a Project Driven World.
