Everyone uses PowerPoint and everyone finds it both annoying and irritating. Especially the repetitive tasks, or times when you cry out in frustration that it can’t do something.

Oh, and that’s not to mention 508 compliance issues, which are incredibly difficult to overcome in PowerPoint.

But, you can change things by using add-ins for PowerPoint – magical tools that give you superhuman abilities to do things at light speed, or even things you couldn’t do before.

This session has a brief introduction to what add-ins are and how they work, and then live demonstrations of the best add-ins you can get, from the simple to the complex, including:

• Shape,
• Size, and position tools,
• Ways to seamlessly add graphics,
  • Create custom color palettes,
• Format tables,
• Set master guides, and
• Store an animations library,

… All designed to fulfill your deepest desires to make PowerPoint actually work.

Presenter: Richard Goring (LinkedIn profile) Director at BrightCarbon, (a specialist presentation agency). has helped to write and create thousands of presentations, and coached hundreds of teams to present more effectively using visuals, diagrams, and animated sequences that explain and reinforce the key points. Richard is passionate about improving the way that people present and believes that anyone can deliver a great presentation if given the right techniques and a bit of practice.

Patrick Woodman’s expertise has played a vital role in the Projecting the Future (PtF) series campaign, and in this webinar he will explore some of the key issues highlighted by the Challenge Paper, including:

1. What are the changes taking place in the world of work?
2. What are their implications for the skills needed for success, particularly in the project profession? And …
3. How should the profession respond to meet the needs of the future?

In some ways, this Challenge Paper brings the ‘big conversation’ full circle to themes raised in the PtF launch paper.

The brief exploration of the key issues provided in the Challenge Paper are a starting point for answering those questions: answers which must also reflect the challenges that have been explored by previous PtF Challenge Papers.

The importance of the questions also means that answers can only be developed through collaboration and discussion. This webinar seeks to provide a forum for such collaboration and discussion.

Patrick looks forward to welcoming you to this webinar, and to working with you to develop a shared view of how the project profession as a whole can realise its potential as a true leadership delivery profession.

Presenter: Patrick Woodman (LinkedIn profile) Editor Dialogue Magazine; is a freelance business writer, researcher and communications consultant. He has been working with APM since 2018 on Projecting the Future, and has been the lead author on each of the papers published in the series. Previously Head of Research & Advocacy at CMI (Chartered Management Institute), Patrick led a research programme spanning a broad range of management and leadership topics including diversity and inclusion, education and skills, productivity and business culture, and the role of middle management.

We are witnessing the rise of projects as the main unit of work, as well as the essential model to deliver change and create value for individuals, organizations, and society at large.

Despite this surge in project activities and project spending, the risk of project failure continues to be huge and will continue to increase unless organizations and governments embrace advanced project leadership practices.

Widely used management disciplines are often linked to a few simple frameworks that can be easily understood, and applied, not only by managers but also by the majority of individuals.

Porter’s Five Forces is a great example. In contrast, project management methods have tended to be too complex to be easily understood and applied by non-experts.

Under these circumstances, it is not surprising that we saw the rise of agile, triggered by the Agile Manifesto, in February 2001 by 17 independent-minded software practitioners. Considering that this year is the 50th Anniversary of the creation of the Project Management Institute, it is time that we co-create The Project Manifesto.

The purpose of this webinar is to explain what is The Project Economy, the consequences and opportunities, as well as the way project managers will need to adapt to be successful in this new era.

In this webinar Antonio Nieto-Rodriquez, (LinkedIn profile)  will look at 12 guiding principles, their rationale, examples and implications. The session will be highly interactive, asking for your views and suggestions, with the ultimate goal of co-creation of the around guiding principles.

The key learning objectives are:

1. Understand what is The Project Economy
2. Learn and discuss 12 guiding principles
3. Understand opportunities this era brings to project managers
