In this webinar Owen Anthony will focus on practical ways to improve the transition from project delivery into business as usual.  Looking at lessons learned from other schemes and sharing success factors that support better handovers of schemes, the emphasis will be to help projects deliver benefits.

Billions of pounds are spent globally every year on projects and much has been written and taught about how to manage them as effectively as possible, but if they are not then handed over well, what is the point?

Without focusing on how to pass the project into the business as usual/ end user environment, the chances of the project delivering the benefits it was commissioned for in the first place are significantly reduced.

Owen led an APM research fund study which aimed to identify how handovers can be improved. The study drew upon learning from other organisations including Crossrail, The Ministry of Defence, Mediacity and many others.

The purpose of this talk is to share the findings of the research report, along with some practical tips and recommendations that can be applied to projects to improve their handover.

Psychological safety fosters an environment where traditional assumptions are questioned, leading to the development of robust and innovative solutions. Creating this kind of culture is a journey, and it doesn’t happen overnight.

“It takes a village” to create a culture of inclusion, with accountability and collaboration across job roles, geographies, and functions. Efforts need to be coordinated and synchronized at both a systemic and individual level, with a focus on inquiry, humility, and commitment.

In this webinar, Christa will explore ways to build a culture where conscious inclusion is embedded in business systems and processes. We will investigate ways to configure opportunity, interaction, and communication to realize the potential of diversity. And we’ll also identify ways to foster a sense of belonging where everyone feels welcome to grow, connect, and contribute.

Businesses are increasingly focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) – realizing that multiple perspectives can be more profitable when building products and services.

However, DEI initiatives often translate to addressing the needs of marginalized groups whose members are immediately identifiable while underserving invisible groups like LGBTQ+, religions, people with mental health issues &/or disabilities, to name just a few.

By continuing to disenfranchise these groups, companies are unwittingly lowering productivity and potentially losing valuable human resources.

Through a mix of storytelling, statistics, and practicing human-centered design methodologies, webinar attendees will build understanding of the experiences of visible and invisible marginalized groups then discuss creating actionable plans for making micro-cultures of inclusion – even if it’s just on their team or in their cubicle!

Join Erik Rueter (LinkedIn profile) for the four key outcomes for this webinar.

You will be able to:

1. define commonly used DEI terms;
2. share resources about invisible minorities with their project teams;
3. identify human-centered design methodologies that can be used to enhance DEI initiatives; and,
4. implement changes in their own sphere of influence that will build a micro-culture of inclusion.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) surged as a priority in 2020, driven in part by heightened political, cultural, and social movements, dramatically reshaping expectations of organizations and government.

The general public, shareholders, and employees are putting pressure on organizations to craft an effective response, set ambitious DEI goals, and build inclusive work environments.

In 2021, without a clear DEI strategy, organizations will struggle to deliver substantive progress on key DEI outcomes. This requires DEI goals to extend beyond the HR and DEI functions and become integrated alongside other functions’ activities and objectives.

In this webinar Rachel Lawrence (LinkedIn profile) Gartner Sr Principal Advisory guides all public sector leaders through the steps they must take to overcome challenges and proactively drive cultural impact in their function.

This includes early intervention methods, how to build a trust based culture, and how to create a psychologically safe and inclusive environment.

Discussion Topics:

• Understand the elements of inclusion and the role of leaders to drive cultural impact
• Promote collective ownership of DEI and demonstrate inclusive behavior
• Resolve workplace issues through reporting
