Early in 2020 APM analysed results of an online survey of project professionals involved in governance of change.

The results provide a roadmap of actions that we can take to further enhance this crucial role.

APM will share the finding and the recommendations from the sponsor survey including:

• The role of sponsors in the governance of change
• How well sponsors are held to account for successful outcomes of change
• The need for a sponsor competency framework
• Benefits of and approach to sponsor training
• Next steps for sponsorship in the project profession

This webinar is the first of an engagement series throughout July to present the results of the sponsor survey and discuss/debate the implications with project professionals with experience in these areas working in the Financial Services, Postal, Oil and Gas, and Transport sectors.

The APM Governance Specific Interest Group is engaged in improving investment outcomes through better governance of change, and promoting effective sponsorship is crucial in achieving this. They have a number of publications and support material available through the APM for sponsors to help them achieve more successful business outcomes from major change.

Talent-minded organizations believe that high-performing, engaged employees are essential to business success.

A recent study conducted by Quantum Workplace and Harvard Business Review Analytic Services found that 81% of business leaders strongly agree that highly engaged employees perform better and are more productive.

Because of this belief, businesses have been investing in employee engagement programs and modernizing their performance management processes to maximize the potential of their individuals and teams.

Yet many still struggle to quantify the ROI of talent initiatives on the business. Why is that?

Engagement and performance strategies are often prioritized in silos, disconnected from one another. The same study found that while two-thirds of survey takers have revamped their approach to performance management in the last two years, only 37% say that employee engagement is a significant area of focus for their own organization today.

Done in a vacuum, engagement adds little value to your bottom line—and productivity without engagement doesn’t drive high performance. Tethered together, engagement and performance create meaningful, powerful, and measurable employee success.

A truly effective employee success strategy forms synergy between employee engagement and performance and bolsters the results of your business.

“Engagement equals discretionary effort, which equals higher business outcomes for the same amount of dollars. It is ROI at its finest—and the best possible return on investment for your human capital.” — Heather Whiteman, former head of people strategy at GE Digital.

According to Gartner, 73% of Diversity & Inclusion leaders identified influencing diversity recruiting efforts as their top priority.

Yet, only half of D&I leaders feel confident that they can achieve this goal, and more than 60% of recruiters say their function has not yet implemented a D&I strategy.

In this session, industry expert Jeanette Leeds Maister (LinkedIn profile) will explore ways you can enhance your D&I strategy leveraging recruiting technology to:

• Understand your baseline data and improve it via analytics
• Leverage prescriptive analytics to automate candidate selection
• De-bias candidate communications with augmented writing

Valuing diversity and inclusion goes beyond words and promises. The companies that have built policies and processes around D&I are ahead of the curve and are enjoying the benefits of a healthier bottom line.
