Data mining has been considered the province of the data scientist and data analyst. But the data scientists and data analysts only solve the business problems that are given to them provided those business problems can be solved with data.

Someone has to analyze the processes and conditions of the business to determine what the problems are and then determine whether data can solve those problems and answer the questions related to those problems. And that someone is the business analyst.

On this webinar Steven P. Blais provides guidelines to determining business problems that can be solved with data and provides the details of what data mining is all about.

Topics: 

• Business analyst or data analyst or data scientist?
• Determine the right data
• The process of getting value from data
• Produce actionable insights
• Provide the questions and interpret the answers

Blais, PMP, PMI-PBA (LinkedIn profile) is an author, consultant, teacher and coach  and has over 45+ years of information systems experience in technology management, consulting and marketing positions.

1. Can you adopt sustainable project management practices while adding value? 
2. Can one Project Manager make a difference?
   

The answers are Yes!

Sustainable project practices are about more than “being green”.  Sustainability requires that we look beyond the scope, schedule, and budget of the temporary project and consider the larger “Triple Bottom Line” that projects operate within.

The triple bottom line evaluates performance in a broader perspective considering economic, ecological, and social impacts otherwise known as the 3Ps – Profit, Planet, People.

As the agents of change in organizations, Project Managers, are uniquely positioned to identify and lead the change that impacts your “Triple Bottom Line” while creating greater business value.

​Using today’s linear economic model we take finite resources, create products and then dispose of them.  This “take, make, dispose” linear model is no longer sustainable.

​Upon completion of this session, you will be able to:  

• Describe sustainability and the “Triple Bottom Line”.
• Compare the linear and circular economic models.
• Explain circularity to stakeholders.
• Analyze projects in the context of the circularity.

Learn how you as a Project Manager can shift towards the circular economy model where we “make, use, reuse, remake, and recycle”.

As Public-Private-Partnerships schemes for the procurement of public infrastructure are growing quickly growing in popularity in Asia-Pacific, many governments are faced with the question how to professionalize their PPP Units or PPP Knowledge Hubs.

Because of the long-term nature (and corresponding risks) of PPP projects, it is crucial that a sound framework drives the selection, appraisal and tender phases of PPP projects.

This requires knowledge and experience of PPP professionals, as well as a sound understanding of the market conditions and financial markets. So how can governments improve their capabilities in a structured and efficient way.

In this webinar, Jan-Willem Middelburg, (LinkedIn profile)  Author of the Service Automation Framework, will provide an overview of the Public-Private-Partnership Maturity Index® (PPPMI).

Developed by Cybiant, the PPP Maturity Index uses the CP3P certification as a knowledge base and provides an assessment that measures PPP framework maturity, breaking them down in critical capabilities that are required to improve PPP success.

Jan-Willem will showcase which critical capabilities are required, and how they can be translated into structure improvement programs.

APMG-International developed the CP3P Certification framework in collaboration with the World Bank. Cybiant was the first accredited PPP training provider in Asia, and has certified hundreds of individuals in PPP Best Practices.
