How do you determine what makes a qualified & competent manager?

• 1 to every 5 employees is classified as management
• $1 trillion or 5% loss of GDP is attributed to inefficient management
• Managers account for 70% of variance in employee engagement

In a time when change is the only constant, and ambiguity and volatility are the norm, managers’ competencies and strategies are of increasing importance as they are the link between the organizations strategy and the people that deliver the results.

It is not enough that an individual’s direct actions are well executed–it is the collective actions of the team that drive success.

Equipping managers with a complete toolkit, develops the right level of competence and consistency of application and will lead to better employee engagement, productivity, retention, organizational culture–and results.

In this webcast Jeff will provide insight in how to approach and create a standard for recognizing managerial competence within your organization and highlight:

• The impact that managers can have on the organization’s bottom line
• Applicable competencies of both the human and business side of management
• How managers influence behavior to drive the employee experience
• The effects of the inability to manage and lead successfully lead in today’s environment

The work “project” is often used as a synonym of “waterfall”, “command and control,” and in general everything that is old and unnecessary. Some even use the term “Scrum project”, expanding the role of the Scrum Master to a mini Project Manager.

The tag, #NoProjects, in combination with other “#No” like “#NoEstimates” (for a pdu on #NoEstimates Click Here) is sometimes used as an excuse for lack of planning, documentation, and discipline.

In this webinar Stelian Roman (LinkedIn profile)  gives an analysis of the “#noprojects” concept, presenting his view and experience with projects and a less governed approach to delivery.

Stelian explores the relationship between project and product development and the challenges of growing from a small team of “developers” to the real enterprise level.

When you read the news and talk to business colleagues, it quickly becomes clear that although we are all experiencing this pandemic, our paths vary widely.

Some enterprises see huge surges in business, while many suffer the exact opposite. The pandemic is the largest, most asymmetric crisis in our history.

We are not all uniformly going to follow a U, V, W or L curve, even if our GDP does. Gartner created the Post-Pandemic Planning Framework to help enterprises plan for the different possible pathways out of the pandemic.

In this webinar Hung LeHong, (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Distinguished VP Analyst looks at how you can use the framework to find your proper post-pandemic path and become a more digital business.

Discussion Topics:

• Why COVID-19 is the largest, most asymmetric crisis in our history
• Prepare exits through the stages of the pandemic
• Plan to be a more digital business as a result of the pandemic
