The best project practitioners tailor their leadership approach to meet the needs of the deliverables, the environment, and their stakeholders.

Both waterfall and Agile methods rely on process. With waterfall you might have detailed scope definition, robust schedules, and rigorous change control processes.

With Agile you might focus on three stand-up questions, iteration planning, demonstrations, and productive retrospectives.

Process is great, but we have to move beyond following a process without questioning if it is the most effective way to deliver value. That’s the beauty of hybrid project management. Hybrid project management is about delivering value – not simply following a process.

What You Will Learn

• Identify variables to determine the best approach for delivering your project
• Recognize hybrid approaches for organizing and prioritizing scope
• Describe options for blending waterfall and adaptive schedules
• Consider ways to track progress with hybrid projects

As the digital world experiences unprecedented levels of disruption, the old patterns for protection cannot keep up with public cloud computing, digital democratization and radical outsourcing.

As key enablers of digital business, security and risk management (SRM) leaders must help the enterprise balance the associated risks and benefits.

Gartner identified a number of new success patterns, but it will take several years to fully establish best practices for continuously evolving digital environments.

In this webinar Tom Scholtz (LinkedIn profile), Gartner VP Distinguished Analyst; will help security and risk management leaders protect their organizations against digital risks with guidance from the Gartner Security and Risk Management Leadership Vision.

Discussion Topics:

• Develop a culture of cyber judgment that aligns with evolving talent needs
• Improve personal effectiveness as a security leader, especially in dealing with key business stakeholders
• Institute a formal security behavior and culture program that targets not just end users but also executive leadership, including the board

“I’d like to give you some feedback….” These might be the seven most dreaded words one could imagine!

Shifting your mindset to one of an active listener and seeking to understand the content and the context is a crucial part of the leadership journey.
