Projects are the mechanism to realize business strategy, create competitive advantage and achieve organizational transformation.

Important stuff, but most often, projects are being done in addition to ongoing business operations with constrained resources.

Therefore success is dependent on getting the right resources, spending your budget wisely, and keeping people focused and motivated to execute.

Warning signs that a project is headed to failure include missed deadlines, confusion, conflict and churning. All this can contribute to project manager and team burnout.

Effective project managers look for these early warning signs of failure and burnout so they can take corrective actions, but more importantly, they proactively work to avoid them.

In this webinar you will learn tips and techniques to:

  • Cultivate a healthy environment for your project, your team, and yourself
  • Create best practices you can rely on to drive the project forward
  • Leverage relationships to support and motivate

While some practitioners of strategic HR fear that AI might one day replace them, the reality for the foreseeable future is far more encouraging: AI is powerful tool, but like any tool, it is only as effective as the human being who deploys it.

AI is not here to supplant our work—it is here to guide and supplement our efforts, lending a competitive advantage to those who can harness its power.

Nowhere is this more true than in the realm of workforce planning. For large and complex organizations, planning was once an arduous and lengthy process, whereby hundreds of distinct talent needs across diverse geographies had to be identified, studied, and projected with careful attention.

Now, AI can do much of this initial heavy lifting in minutes, freeing up the planner to focus on the critical 20% of talent that drives the most value.  Speeding up the initial planning process leaves ample time for refinement and execution.

Key takeaways:

  • Pitfalls of your current workforce planning effort and how they can be remedied with AI
  • How to move beyond role-based planning to better understand current and future skill gaps and surpluses
  • How WFP will provide better guidance for external hiring and internal mobility
  • How to increase managers’ adoption of AI in their strategic workforce planning

Live Webinar October 17th, 2023, 5:00 AM – 6:00 AM EDT
Activity Type: Education – Course or Training  1 Hour  1 PDU
Provider: Gartner Webinars

Public cloud costs are challenging to manage, but they also offer a chance to optimise spending and drive efficient IT consumption.

Hit by surging costs that seem out of control, organisations often counter rising bills simply through emergency cost-cutting measures.

These measures can be effective at reducing costs in the short term, but they fail to establish cost efficiency as a strategic application design priority.

In this webinar Marco Meinardi (LinkedIn profile) Gartner VP Analyst will help you evolve your cloud financial management capability from a pure cost-centric to value-centric approach.

He will explore a framework that can help I&O technical professionals implement cloud financial management for providers, such as rightsizing or buying reserved instances, and enable organisations to consider cloud computing as an investment rather than an expense while ensuring a positive ROI.

Discussion Topics:

  • Understand why traditional cost-centric approaches fail to ensure long-term cloud cost efficiency
  • Shift to a value-centric cloud financial management approach through the discipline of unit economics
  • Explore use cases of unit economics and unit costs for more effective cloud financial management
