Getting performance management right has never been more critical.

Not only are we facing the reality that some of our organizations will have to do a lot more with a lot less soon but also keeping your current employees engaged and productive will be key to making sure you succeed.

For HR, buying into Performance Management principles is simple, but where the domino effect begins, is when managers fail to adopt new ways of working. Managers affect a considerable percentage of the overall performance, development and engagement of their teams.

A Gallup poll of over one million US employees found that 75% have left voluntarily because of their manager (not the role) in the past. Supporting your managers to practice good performance management will improve productivity and engagement.

Join this webinar, led by Amira Kohler, (LinkedIn profile) a Performance and Change Management Expert of more than 20 years. She has led dozens of performance management change initiatives at Small to Enterprise companies. We will also be joined by Larry Hillwig, (LinkedIn profile) Chief Administrative Officer at South West Autism Research & Resource Centre, who will share with us his experience on getting managers to buy into performance management.

In this webinar, we will be covering:

  • Why is performance management more critical than ever?
  • What are the three fundamental principles of excellent performance management?
  • Practical, low-risk steps to take today to enable your managers to embrace performance management.

This webinar is particularly designed for Managers who are looking to improve the productivity and engagement of their staff or need advice on Cultural Change and Training.

Here’s What You’ll Learn:

  1. Why is performance management more critical than ever?
  2. What are the three fundamental principles of excellent performance management?
  3. Practical, low-risk steps to take today to enable your managers to embrace performance management

As projects proceed through their life-cycle, they create an exhaust plume of data that is a by-product of delivery.

By pooling this data and applying advanced data analytics and AI, it can be analysed to develop predictive insights and recommendations, tailored to the phase and specific circumstances of a project.

But is project data analytics hype or reality?

Only you can decide, but what is for certain, is that it is disruptive and could have a significant impact on your career in the delivery projects and how you work.

Unfortunately, it is often shrouded in tech speak and it all sounds very daunting. Within this masterclass, James will provide a range of insights into:

  • The potential impact of project data analytics.
  • How to prepare yourself for the new future.
  • How to get started.

Advanced project data science and analytics have the potential to change the face of project management and project delivery forever. But the project management profession is slow to catch on. Together, we can shape a new future; let’s make it happen.

Presenter: Dr James Smith (LinkedIn profile) Chief Technology Officer Projecting Success, is responsible for a wide scope, spanning full stack development through to data science and AI. The technical lead for the delivery of the project data analyst apprenticeship, a unique approach that will transform how projects are delivered; is immersed in visualisation, graph databases, Python, machine learning algorithms and regularly grapples with the challenges that exist with real world data.
