The PMBOK® Guide lays out the importance of communication as a vital part of the project management process. The common adage that project management is 90% communication is well known and accepted.

So, how can we help project professionals to practice it? After all, since it is a soft skill, one can develop competency in this area not by reading, acquiring knowledge, or talking about it but by practicing it in the real world.

In this webinar Raju Rao (LinkedIn profile)  will:

• Give an overview of the how project management standards have dealt with the knowledge area of communication
• Describe the current status of the practice of communication and its link with leadership development
• Outline the various components of communication, e.g., writing, listening, persuading, speaking, evaluating, developing consensus, moderating and critical thinking
• List the various forums and platforms available for the practice of communication and the ways by which a project manager can improve their skills

This webinar is the first of three in a series hosted jointly between the Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA) and the Association for Project Management (APM).

This session will aim to generate a conversation around Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) in Project Delivery (PD), in both the public and private sectors.

This first session, held in October, will discuss the recently launched D&I strategy for the PD profession, why it’s important, and the challenges currently facing the profession in this area.

Glenda Joseph & Her Fellow Presenters Will Discuss:

This session will discuss the gathered evidence of what good D&I practice looks like; what needs to be done in relation to Inclusion, & how we can improve Diversity in relation to Representation, Progression and Support of BAME and Women staff.

They have been piloting the following initiatives:

• Bitesize Insight Groups on Inclusion; BAME and Women staff’s representation, progression and support.
• Bitesize Insight Groups on attraction to the PD Profession of potential BAME and Women new entrants.
• Reverse Mentoring Pilots for Women and BAME staff.
• Sponsorship Pilots for BAME and Women staff.
• Role Models, Champions and Allies in support of D&I work across the profession.
• Story Telling – Case Studies and Blogs.
• Showcasing good practice and successes.

The pilots run until the end of September 2020, whereby an evaluation will take place to inform what we have learned and what works well for HMRC’s PD Profession, as well as feeding into the wider IPA D&I Strategy and Action Plan.

As instructional designers, we know the difference between presenting information and providing learning experiences.

But creating quality learning experiences that meet the challenge of being meaningful, memorable, and motivational isn’t a job for the unprepared.

Happily, what you really, really need to do can be boiled down to a small number of surefire approaches that are guaranteed to work.

This session presents 6 simplifying strategies to achieve powerful results, win greater support, and make our work easier—all at the same time!
