The problem with PowerPoint? It’s too easy. Everybody can create slides in about an hour so nobody dives very deep. Here are a few deep dives to uncover features, functions, and shortcuts that you need to have in your toolbox.

One year at the Presentation Summit, we asked people a simple question:
How much time did you spend learning PowerPoint?

Almost everyone answered less than one hour, and a few people said 15 minutes. These same people went on to use the software for years, and in many cases, teach it to others. And we are surprised that PowerPoint is vilified and demonized?

This session fills up your toolkit with the things you should have learned long ago but never bothered to because the software is pretty easy to start using so that’s what you did: you just started using it. You use the blunt instrument of your own will and persistence, even though there are shortcuts, features, and hidden capabilities that would allow you to work so much quicker and so much more intelligently.

That’s what this hour will be all about. We’ll take hand to mouse, open up the interface, and present a collection of tools that you should never have to live without.

• Your very own quick access toolbar
• Just enough knowledge about templates and color schemes to stay sane
• How the Selection and Visibility Pane can save your career
• Hyperlinks in PowerPoint? You bet
• Everything you never knew about cropping photos

Organizations increasingly turn to agile principles and methods to escalate business performance by quickly and efficiently serving customers.

In fact, 74% of HR leaders indicate that their organizations are undergoing a broader transformation to become more agile. HR leaders, in particular, turn to “agile” to provide relevant support to the business.

However, the concept of agile is new to HR and, as such, HR leaders lack clarity on what agile is and how to apply it effectively.

In this webinar Mark Whittle (LinkedIn profile) Gartner VP Advisory  offers guidance on how to effectively apply Agile HR to better serve the business.

Discussion Topics:

• What Agile HR is, and how other HR functions apply it
• The decisions you must make, and the best place to start
• HR best practices

Real-World Project Management Webinar Series

Projects are one of the key areas of a business where risk management is essential to satisfy both internal and external stakeholders. However, it is one of the project management tools that is the least well understood or applied, meaning that it can be seen as a waste of resources without adding any value in the process. 

It is, therefore, quite often paid lip service to, and ends up with an unhelpful, boring review of a bad risk register. 

When risk management is carefully planned, it can make a real difference and add value to the project.  This starts from the top (management) with real commitment, from the initial stages of the project, continuing across the project (at all levels) and throughout the project life cycle.

We must consider how to be realistic about what projects are trying to achieve and the real commitment needed to making risk management work – at the same time recognising some of the contractual pressures that teams face, that are not usually faced by operational activities within an organisation.

In this webinar Kate & Sarah will explore the gaps often seen in project risk management, and how to ensure tools are applied through:

• Real commitment
• Real planning
• Real risks
• Real controls

Diversity and Inclusion have become the hallmarks of innovative and progressive organizations.

Some think that diversity is the “business of the HR Department” and that there is little we can do at the project or team level to cultivate it.

This webinar will explore what Diversity and Inclusion really means and how we can develop our own as well as our team’s culture of Diversity and Inclusion.
