A competitor might be developing the next great business idea right now.

Valuable employees today expect a seamless experience with workplace technology, and all too often, HR is caught in the middle between employees and their data. As renowned real estate investor Barbara Corcoran says, “it’s ridiculous! So ridiculous.”

Barbara and Amy will walk you through:

• how to become an innovative business, overcome disruption and build an organization of greatness
• why it is important to understand HR’s changing function in today’s digital reality
• how employee usage of HR technology benefits HR and the organization’s bottom line
• the role of your employee experience and how it can empower or hold back your HR department
• how to get out of the data quicksand created by manual processes by using HR technology

This session will cover:

1. Organizations can use their HR technology to rise to the forefront of innovation and achieve greatness by streamlining processes, increasing efficiency and enhancing the employee experience.
2. HR professionals can position themselves as strategic business partners and get out of the data quicksand created by manual processes by driving employee usage of HR technology.
3. According to research conducted by Harvard Business Review, only a small percentage of companies flourished after a slowdown, “doing better on key financial parameters than they had before it and outperforming rivals in their industry by at least 10% in terms of sales and profits growth.”

Every project manager should have a proven, practical, and powerful toolkit – of skills, techniques, processes, procedures, tools, and templates – to help a project or program’s success. The toolkit should be proven (it works), practical (efficient and adaptable), and powerful (big impact).

This is the first in a series of webinars that will share tools you can use on your projects. This webinar focuses on three proven, practical, and powerful tools: Information Mapping, Results Chains, and Benefits Registers. It provides you with a good understanding of each tool, real-world examples, and practical tips to apply them successfully.

1. Information Mapping is a writing method and format — it improves a project’s written communication for both the writer and the reader.
2. Results Chains identify a program’s activities and outcomes and the relationships among them — it clarifies and visually communicates what needs to be done and why.
3. Benefit Registers document a program’s intended benefits, specify how to measure them, and show progress — it proves if a program is achieving the expected outcomes.

Join Daniel Sklar (LinkedIn profile)  and turbocharge your project management with these three tools!

There is no shortage of commentary and ‘vision’ about the way in which AI will impact projects and project managers.

At present only a few companies have developed working platforms for time and/or cost management, with the majority being pre-commercial.

Endeavour Programme’s platform Octant AI focusses on mitigating poor cost performance and is in commercial operational use for infrastructure projects. Early adopters are changing the way they manage their projects based on its near real time actionable predictions.

This presentation will focus on the lived experience of developing and implementing an AI platform in a customer organisation.

David will cover issues that have had practical impact such as paradigm change, problem definition, data availability, response from professionals using the system and return on investment.
