• Gamification is a hot concept in the e-learning world.
• We know we have to engage and keep learners learning.
• We know people struggle to find time to take classes, go to conferences, & generally engage in professional development.
• We know that easily more than half of the workforce was raised in a gaming culture.
• So it seems like gamification is a one-size-fits-all solution.

But hold on…let’s not make that leap just yet. Just because it’s a hot concept doesn’t mean it’s the right concept for all situations. They will ask a few simple questions to help determine if gamification is the perfect solution. And share tips to meet your learning goals if it is.

Triskell Software is a cloud-based
“Enterprise Governance Platform”.

This solution provides organizations with comprehensive functionality including strategic planning and execution, budgeting/forecasting/financial management, agile/waterfall/hybrid techniques for detail planning, and robust analytical and simulation/scenario capability.

The system is unique because it allows the application of all system functions to not just programs, projects, and tasks, but also to multiple portfolios, deliverables, products, and any other “object”.

Triskell also recognizes that many organizations currently use several tools for detail planning, including Microsoft Project, spreadsheets, Jira, SharePoint lists, etc. Triskell permits users to continue with those tools while providing all Triskell functionality for portfolio and resource management and reporting.

For the past 3 years Triskell has been noted in Gartner’s Market Guide for Strategic Execution Management (SEM) solutions.

In this vendor showcase Rich Murphy will include a demonstration of how Microsoft Project (Standard and Professional versions) can be used with Triskell.

Presenter: Rich Murphy (LinkedIn profile) has 35+ years experience in project management. Rich began as the project controls engineer for a $4 billion power plant engineering and construction project. He & his long-time partners have led the development of many leading commercial project management software systems. After Microsoft’s acquisition of one of the systems developed by his team in August 2000, Rich joined Microsoft & participated in the development of Project Professional and Project Server. He was the original Solution CEO for Microsoft’s Enterprise Project Management system. After leaving Microsoft, Rich and his team continued to develop complimentary solutions built on the Microsoft technology stack. For the past 6 years Rich has provided marketing and product development advice to several PPM vendors. In 2019 Rich joined Triskell Software as their VP – Strategy and Corporate Development.
