As organizations pursue their strategic goals, they likely maintain a project portfolio that is a mix of stable, definable projects built on proven procedures in addition to the more risky and undefined projects that are meant to create new products, services, or capabilities.

Project managers who can deliver results in an iterative fashion, with a high level of stakeholder involvement and increased customer feedback loops, are the first choice for these project assignments.  That is because they demonstrate facility with the new tools of the agile project manager.

Learning points covered in this webinar include:

• Picking the right methodology for the job
• Choosing what skills and relationships to enhance
• Understanding how project planning, tracking, and team management work in these hybrid settings
• Knowing your role in supporting organization change management

Digital product organizations deliver more software faster than ever, but they still struggle to satisfy their business customers and stakeholders.

Many organizations commit a great deal of time and resources to implementing agile and DevOps, with the goal of delivering business value faster.

Yet, too often, software engineering teams focus on how long it takes to create value, but fail to account for how much value is created.

This complimentary webinar will help IT and software engineering leaders take greater advantage of software development to generate more business value.

Keith Mann (LinkedIn profile) Gartner Sr Director Analyst will explore methods to assess value created through software development, and how you can use it to mature business capabilities and ultimately achieve the goals of the overall business strategy.

Discussion Topics:

• Establish metrics that shift your software development focus to value delivery
• Work with diverse business stakeholders to create a holistic definition of value
• Establish feedback loops to experiment, measure, learn and improve

The Wall Street Journal says those who succeeded at dismantling Affirmative Action in universities are now training their sights on corporate DE&I efforts.

At the same time there have been some high-profile Chief Diversity Officer departures as well as mixed signals of whether DE&I budgets are being cut or enhanced.

In response, the media leads with alarmist headlines. In the swirl, those doing the work and the organizations they work for are left wondering, What does it all mean? End of the line for DE&I? Business as usual?

Or an inflection toward a DE&I renaissance with a much more powerful value proposition?

The heat from the glaring spotlight on the field is an opportunity to move off a defensive posture and instead toward an assertive reinvention.

Three Korn Ferry global DE&I strategy consultants—who have collectively provided strategic transformational advice and solutions to nearly over one thousand major enterprises around the world and all of whom have as well played or are playing an internal executive level diversity role—will share their provocative insights, predictions, and ways forward.

CHROs continue to face increasing demands to provide greater support within the organization but are challenged with limited additional resources and a fatigued HR workforce.

As a result, HR functions increasingly struggle to deliver an alignment to organizational needs while still delivering functional efficiency in their operations.

The reality is, the scope of HR’s work has changed. New demands on HR are more conflicting, require more interdependent delivery, and are more novel. HR can no longer be the “owner and operator” for all the things it is asked to deliver on.

Instead, HR needs to serve as a “convener and catalyzer” on many issues within the organization.

In order to succeed in this new role, HR must reconsider how it achieves functional excellence.

Join Mark Whittle (LinkedIn profile) Gartner VP Advisory where he explores what HR leaders and their teams should focus on to deliver world-class HR.

Discussion Topics:

• Explore different prioritization approaches for the HR function to focus on
• Work with stakeholders via a different approach to digitalizing processes
• Find out who HR needs within the function to deliver on the newer, novel difficulties it encounters
