There are many training initiatives and projects that occur outside of the training departments’ control. We call this “non-training training?”

1. Is this a sign that you have not advanced or that someone has overtaken you in your training performance within the company?
2. Could it mean, your value is degraded?
3. How do you position yourself to be part of these opportunities?

In this session, Ray will cover:

• What is the phenomenon known as  “non-training training”?
• What are the trends where training and learning happen?
• What are the examples of coaching, logistics, support, sales, and compliance?
• How is Non-Training Training designed and structured?
• Why is training moving outside of your training department’s control or leadership?
• What are these programs which training departments are no longer managing?
• How do you find opportunities to join the Non-Training Training projects?

Why use storytelling in Project Management? Storytelling has been a primary form of communications for millennia. With an ever-increasing need for project managers to paint pictures with data and engage stakeholders in a world of change, there has never been a greater need to use storytelling.

This session showcases three speakers, local to the Thames Valley. Each telling a short story, between 5 and 10 minutes, the presentations promise to be highly visual, engaging, and informative on a wide range of topics relating to project management.

Join three locals to the Thames Valley for this quick fire delve into stories of project management, ranging from nuclear robotics to risk management.

We hope this session inspires, enables learning and fun in equal measure.

Speakers and topics being discussed:

• • Steve Walters C.Chem, FRSC, FAPM, Principal Consultant, UK National Nuclear Laboratory (retired)
    • The value of prior learning. Over a long career Steve has found that things learned long ago have a habit of “coming round again”, and projects benefit from prior learning to expedite agile delivery now. In this example, Steve describes how spacecraft and robotics benefit from nuclear (and specifically radiation) technology skills.
  • Paul Game (MSC), Self-employed, focused on e-commerce and digital information.
    • Risk management, a short story. Bringing learning from recent master university courses, Paul’s talk will introduce risk management concepts that relate to major projects.
  • Laura Hartley (LinkedIn profile) BSc (Hons) MAPM – Delivery Enterprise Assurance and Governance Manager with Thames Water
    • Storytelling and neurodivergent communication. While the technical know-how to get a project delivered is clearly irreplaceable, she thinks soft skills are vastly overlooked!
    • Storytelling has allowed her to reach a common understanding with more people in more teams than any other soft skill shehas , save for active listening.
    • Being neurodivergent, communication and influencing is occasionally difficult for her, and framing outputs and the project journey through the lens of a story changed how she managed projects entirely, making her delivery much more successful.
    • This discussion will outline some of the issues she faced, and how storytelling as an art formed the backbone of the project management work we performed.

With the significant increase in automation of operations and the increase in change initiatives and project work, a new role is emerging in the executive committee. Companies are beginning to consolidate responsibility for orchestrating and successfully implementing the organization’s continuous transformation and significant strategic initiatives within a single C-level executive. And it’s not only multinationals and for-profit organizations.

The chief project officer goes far beyond the traditional Project Management Officer role or the direct sponsorship of individual projects. They must push their organization toward adopting a project-driven structure and foster a collaborative and empowering culture that reaches across silos. They must also collaborate with HR to develop project-management competencies throughout the organization.

The role should be fully integrated into the C-suite. Just as COOs have in the past, CPOs should behave like an extension of the CEO or even the board and, as such, hold the top managers accountable. CPOs may not be common yet in the C-Suite, but their steady emergence is a leading indicator of how companies will organize themselves to thrive in the project economy.

 Learning Outcomes:

• The rise of the Chief Project Officer as a new C-suit executive role
• How to grow from a project manager, PMO,PPM, agile expert into the Chief Project Officer
• Be able to explain to participant’s leaders and executives why their organization needs a Chief Project Officer
