Design thinking has become an incredibly popular concept, and has come to be identified and applied in a variety of different contexts.

In the context of project management, it is important to understand what it is and where it fits. There is a need to relate design thinking to other related strategies of working and doing, and know where it aligns and the kinds of challenges that it supports.

Most importantly, there is a need to understand where, when and why design thinking as a concept might be relevant in a project world.

In this webinar Mark Mullaly (LinkedIn profile) author of Researching the Value of Project Management demystifies the concept of design thinking, and provides guidance in how to think about it, how to leverage it and where to consider its use in the project management role.

If you are curious about design thinking, its relevance and its role in managing projects, this is a webinar you won’t want to miss.

Background checks are ingrained in law and compliance. The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), state laws, and local ordinances define relevant requirements and restrictions.

Courts and government agencies are often the sources of some records. In fact, laws may be why you screen in the first place, with many industries facing regulations.

Most importantly, no matter how or why you screen your employees, you, as an employer, have legal obligations. Employers must obtain and use background checks according to various laws.

Join HCI  to learn where compliance updates and background checks are in the news. They will let you in on what trends we are tracking, from automatic expungement laws to wider recreational cannabis legalization.

You’ll also see how courts are ruling on cases involving critical disclosure and authorization documents.

Join HCI to learn about compliance topics trending in 2023:

  • FCRA 101 – Refresh your understanding of core FCRA requirements. Get the top news about changes that may help expand your knowledge of the federal law.
  • Beyond Ban the Box – New state and local laws place restrictions on the use of background checks and drug tests. Get our take on what’s been going on and what movements are gaining momentum, including an increase in automatic expungements. You’ll want to hear about it.
  • Consumer Privacy Impacts – Courts have heralded a new era of criminal history. In some cases, they’ve even redacted some identifiers on public records. This is a hotly monitored concern for background screeners and employers alike.

Compliance is fundamental to using background checks in your hiring process. HCI will also share some resources to help you review your background screening policy.

You may walk away with a better understanding of central compliance concerns – and other emerging trends to monitor. Sign up to hear about these compliance updates and examples of what background screening laws may impact your organization.

Managing Uncertainty In Megaprojects

Underperformance is a common threat to megaproject managers and the track record of cost and time overruns in these projects is well documented.

While front end planning is important, not all events and scenarios can be foreseen when the project can take several years to complete and may involve many companies and stakeholders.

In our research we find that the capacity to adapt to this uncertainty during the life of the project is crucial for megaproject performance but it is often overlooked as a capability. Using a case study of the construction of a US$20 billion dollar project we show that project leaders play an important role in recognizing when a plan needs to change and then navigating the path onto a new project plan without disrupting the delivery of the project.
