Modern work can be complicated, and economic pressures require businesses to improve continuously.

The need for innovation, distributed teams, and competitive and regulatory pressures drive an organization to improve and learn constantly.  Learning throughout the project is not something that should be the focus of only the Agile approaches, such as scrum.

From experience, it is not motivating for a team to burn their metaphorical hand on the same familiar stove burner.  A team with recurring failures of the same type differs from how to improve morale or grow competencies.

Failures may not be fatal if these are used as opportunities to learn.  Failure is not motivating when nothing new is learned or experienced.

In this webinar Jon Quigley (LinkedIn profile) will discuss learning opportunities, things our project can do to encourage learning, and what things we do that discourage learning and growth.

Today’s projects are exponentially more complex than yesterday’s, and the need for accurate and timely assurance is more important than ever.

Projects are the backbone of progress. They are a constant in all sectors, and their impact is huge. For every £1 spent on infrastructure projects, £3 is generated for our economy. With £650 billion committed in public and private infrastructure funding over the next decade in the UK alone, the opportunity is awesome.

It’s essential – especially in these uncertain and challenging times – these projects are delivered well, safely, on time and on budget. This is not just to ensure that benefits are delivered, but also to maintain and build confidence in funders and investors. Unfortunately, it’s not always the case that projects are delivered well.

Digital dependence is greater; the asset-people interface more intricate, and the corporate responsibility demands are bigger than ever. Projects need a more sophisticated, comprehensive assurance model so that owners, financers, investors, delivery teams and end-users have confidence in successful delivery.

It’s time for a step-change. We need to move on and focus on the role assurance can play to fix this problem. The assurance process needs to be integrated into the project, and we increasingly need a systems-based approach to deliver, that integrates all the work packages of very different delivery methodologies and scopes.

Join Joe Manning (LinkedIn profile) & Liam Hewitt (LinkedIn profile) for a discussion that makes the case for this change and identifies the challenges that need to be overcome. They will talk about key focusses needed for assurance to evolve, and they will be seeking your opinion on how to shape assurance for the better.

Online Webinar  – Recorded Oct 26, 2022
Activity Type: Education – Online or Digital Media  1 PDU – Free
Provider: Training Magazine Network

Join CompTIA’s Chief Technology Evangelist, Dr. James Stanger, as he outlines the key skills that business require as they strive to differentiate themselves from competition and move forward with confidence. James will also discuss the unique learning tactics that organizations worldwide are bringing to bear as they empower the workers today.

James will discuss insights he has gathered from hiring managers and workforce developers around the world. He will discuss how leading organizations have turned to upskilling existing employees in creative ways, and are now reaching out to the non-traditional workforce.

Today’s businesses are doing more than claiming to be “tech companies.” Increasingly, they have focused on becoming centers of continual learning and education as they realize they need to build talented workers, rather than simply buy them in troubled workforce marketplace. As businesses differentiate themselves, they are learning how to better map employee talents to emerging technology, thereby creating truly creative knowledge workers.

Attendees  will learn: 

  • Unique top technical and non-technical skills required in tech workers today. And trust us – we’re going way beyond “durable skills are good” kinds of conversations
  • How apprenticeship and mentoring models have morphed today
  • The tactics that learning managers around the world have adopted – and discarded – as they educate the diverse workforce

Presenter: James Stanger PhD (LinkedIn profile) is CompTIA’s Chief Technology Evangelist, and a recognized authority in security, education, Information Technology, analytics, and open source. He consults regularly with organizations such as the University of Cambridge, West Point, AstraZeneca, Target, the UK Office for Nuclear Regulation, DBS Bank, NIST, Northrop Grumman, and Dell.
