The most recent ‘Projecting the Future’ publication titled ‘The adaptive project professional’, states that for an individual project professional’s development, they “need to go beyond classic technical project management skills and build the ability to engage with, and provide leadership to, varied project stakeholders”.

More specifically, in order for project professionals to take a place at the top table i.e. board level, they need to be able to “Shape strategy not just delivery.”

This webinar will provide an introduction to what good strategy looks like and how to develop it, so that the aspiring project professional can develop their career and contribute to an organisation’s strategic direction.

Professionals can also avoid having to deliver projects and programmes which are flawed from the outset. Plentiful examples will be given to illustrate the points made.

Programme:

1. Introduction and overview
2. Definition(s) of business strategy.
3. What are we aiming for?
   • The six sources of sustainable competitive advantage.
4. Bad strategy: four common mistakes.
5. How do you lose a competitive advantage … and how do you gain it?
6. What good strategy looks like: process, components and a few tools.
7. A few comments on delivery.

Change is inevitable, even more so in the fast-paced business world. Organizations have invested significantly in training and guidance to improve the change management process, but according to Deloitte, studies show a 60%-70% failure rate.

One of the biggest obstacles to workplace transformations is the human mind, which is hard-wired to repeat past actions. But in today’s business environment, individuals must constantly learn and adapt new skills, technology and procedures to be competitive.

To effectively institute changes in the workplace, leaders must first understand the psychological journey workers take to embrace the new. Leaders also can increase their chances of successfully implementing new programs by learning the theoretical models of change management.

Acquiring the skills to lead this type of transformation is now more important than ever.

In a recent study conducted by Gartner, researchers found that typical businesses today have experienced five major organization-wide changes in the past three years – and nearly 75% of organizations expect to multiply the types of major change initiatives they will undertake in the next three years. Yet, only 34% of these transformations are a clear success.

How can organizations overcome the barriers of change management to improve business outcomes while keeping employees happy, engaged and productive?

This session discusses:

• change management models and potential obstacles you may encounter
• how embracing technology can improve the efficiency and success of change initiatives
• the critical role of communication, and understanding roles and responsibilities in the workplace
• how to achieve change management success with the right mindset and tools
• the importance of change management planning and checklists

Here’s What You’ll Learn:

1. One of the biggest obstacles to transformation is the human mind, which is hard-wired to repeat past actions. We’re biologically compelled to uphold the status quo even when it’s not the best option, a condition known as “repetition compulsion.”
2. According to McKinsey & Company, less than 30% of transformational initiatives succeed, but organizations can increase their likelihood of a positive outcome through an effective change management program.
3. Establishing new processes and procedures isn’t easy. But digital technologies provide opportunities for bettering communication, improving efficiency and boosting productivity to help successfully facilitate change management initiatives.

For years, organizations have “thrown” automation and technology at any problem, issue, or perceived inefficiency.

This created a huge “collective” debt for technical, process, data, architecture, talent, security, and social issues.

Now we add “hyper” to somehow increase the sense of urgency, velocity, and volume of how many processes are automated.

Process mining plays a fundamental role in creating the visibility and understanding before you automate, and it lays the groundwork for intelligent operational resilience, which helps you alter operations in the face of changing business conditions.

In this webinar Marc Kerremans (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner VP Analyst looks at the processes and technologies you need to harness intelligent operational resilience to gain a competitive edge and enable quick, local process modification.

Discussion Topics:

• Create visibility and understanding before you automate
• Orchestrate automation across the organization to overcome the “collective” debt
• Become an intelligent resilient organization
