In this webinar Heidi Kupke (LinkedIn profile) will focus on the importance of strategy and planning.

It will highlight the need for an effective strategic plan to start with a purpose (the North Star).  It will also emphasize that a strategic plan should include goals, strategic priorities (prioritized work), your target market and customer, key results, and core values (the “how”).

Heidi will discuss each of these components and how they should connect to each other and the purpose.

Heidi will also discuss the importance of bringing your strategic plan to life at all levels of the organization through communications and change management.

Finally, Heidi will talk about the routines needed for accountability to keep driving toward the outcomes an organization is striving to achieve and the adoption of the culture that will ultimately drive success.

Schedule Risk Analysis – What is it and why is it worth doing?

From ChatGPT: Schedule risk analysis using Monte Carlo simulation enhances project planning, risk management, and decision-making by providing a more accurate understanding of schedule uncertainties and their potential impact on project outcomes.

What ChatGPT doesn’t say is that Schedule Risk Analysis (SRA) is one of the easiest and low-cost ways to reduce effort and improve profitability.

Capturing information about uncertainty and risk doesn’t have to be time-consuming and can be quickly incorporated into schedules to make more reliable forecasts, which improves opportunities for future work (more profit) and more reliable deliveries (more repeat business).

In this session John will cover the basics of capturing uncertainty and risks, applying the information to a schedule, and presenting the results.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the basis of uncertainty and risk.
• Apply uncertainty and risks to a schedule.
• Interpret probability distribution histograms and S-curves.
• Use Sensitivity Analysis (Tornado) charts to find opportunities for improving outcomes.

Presenter:  John Owen (LinkedIn profile) COO of Barbecana Inc, John has over 30 years of experience with using, supporting, and developing project management software tools across multiple industries.  Before joining Barbecana John was Product Director for Scheduling and Risk tools at Deltek.  Barbecana specializes in producing software for schedule risk analysis with the aim of helping customers improve confidence in their schedules.

ChatGPT, Open AI, Language processing – these are all trendy buzzwords, but the truth is that the technology is here to stay. The good part is, you don’t have to be technical to reap the benefits of this technology, you just need to follow a few simple guidelines.

This session, led by Global Creative Director at simpleshow, Aaron Alpert (LinkedIn profile) is going to share best practices that will help you create impactful storytelling videos that will enhance your training and improve both engagement and retention – all using AI technology to do the hard work for you!

Storytelling is proven to significantly improve the effectiveness of training – but people often hesitate to use it because they don’t know where to start or how to create a story. Now with the right prompts and best practices, you can easily leverage AI technology to help create a story your audience can relate to.
