One of the most fundamental components change delivery is communication. Whether that’s the communications between project teams, to project sponsors or the impacted users, how effective we are as practitioners can have lasting impacts.

In this session, we are going to review how communication is used to set and manage peoples expectations to minimise the chance of perceived failure. Looking at case studies provided by APM and ChgMI practitioners we will explore the following considerations

  1. What capacity does the recipient have and how should that shape our comms approach – Pertinence
  2. How crucial is there action at the time we send – Proximity
  3. How can we ensure what we communicated was received and understood as intended and how do we course correct.

Build Your Dream Team!

Successful organizations realize that high-performing teams are the coin of the realm in the always-on-call global workplace.

This reliance on harnessing the power of the collective will continue to grow in importance as we near the 2020 workplace.

To best deploy the skill and productivity a team can provide, organizations and leaders must understand how to build and maintain nimble, flexible and effective team structures, regardless of the challenges.

Among these challenges are the virtual workforce, but similar to the dependence on teams, organizations have no plans to reduce the number of employees who work remotely five days a week. In fact 26% of organizations want to increase the number of remote workers across all levels.

So how does an organization better manage the performance of these critical work groups?

In much the same way they manage individual employees. Except, as many in the HR community are well aware, that hasn’t been a huge success story. The gap between where performance management processes are now (annual reviews and ratings of past performance) to where HR practitioners want them to be remains a looming reminder of HR’s vacant seat at the table.

In this webcast Yuval Dvir (LinkedIn profile, HCI bio) Digital Transformation Executive, will take a look at some of the remedies that an organization can apply to their performance management process that should help both individuals and teams.

Learn some of the fixes that HCI research recommends including continuing to invest in technology and to automate certain processes that have traditionally been viewed as more time-consuming than valuable.

As generative AI moves beyond the hype, it is transforming self-service analytics and business intelligence platform adoption.

Data and analytics leaders must use analytics and BI platforms to support the needs of IT, analysts, consumers, and data scientists.

While market leaders integrate low-code data science capabilities, market challengers are pushing end-to-end data and analytics ecosystems.

Visionary vendors have accelerated data preparation and simplified how augmented consumers use analytics to get automated insights.

However, some niche players are shifting the emphasis away from business analysts towards composable data and analytics-as-code for developers of governed reports.

In this webinar David Pidsley (LinkedIn profile) Gartner Sr Director Analyst explores how market trends and vendor positions in the Gartner 2023 Magic Quadrant for Analytics and Business Intelligence Platforms can help you determine the right direction for your organization.

Discussion Topics:

  • Identify key trends shaping analytics and business intelligence buying
  • Find out how to interpret Gartner’s Magic Quadrant and critical capabilities scores in 2023
  • Get the latest insights on vendor positioning and the user personas they serve
