For all that we know about education, and all of the training providers that exist, the training landscape for project managers is surprisingly uniform.

There are introductory courses. There are certification programs. There is the school of hard knocks. And there is… not a whole lot else.

Part of the challenge is one of supply and demand. Training providers focus on what sells, and training participants very often go with what’s popular. Creating alternative offerings requires shifting expectations and requirements. It also means being clear about the skills that project managers require, and the strategies by which those skills are best realized.

If we’re serious about project management gaining traction, we need to develop beyond the basics.

In this webinar, Mark Mullaly (LinkedIn profile) author of Researching the Value of Project Management takes a critical look at project management education. He explores how we have approached project management education to date, and the successes and challenges that we’ve experienced.

He also discusses the gaps, the missed opportunities and the blind spots of how we think about learning to be project managers.

More importantly, Mark explores what can—and should—be done to expand the development opportunities that are available to project managers.

He identifies what individuals can do to support enhancement of their individual skills. And he considers what organizations can do to expand the capabilities of their staff. Overall, this presentation explores what it takes to develop the whole project manager.

Whether you are advancing your own skills or oversee the development of others, this is a presentation you won’t want to miss. No matter where you are in your project management career, this webinar is sure to provide a valued and useful perspective about education, skill development and maintaining the relevance of your project management expertise.

Chief marketing officers and marketing leaders face unprecedented challenges in 2024.

Diminishing trust in traditional social media platforms and growing skepticism toward generative AI (GenAI) technologies are reshaping consumer interactions. These shifts pose significant hurdles for CMOs already grappling with the demand to achieve more with fewer resources.

At the same time, these challenges present unique opportunities. Marketers can leverage GenAI to boost efficiency and foster a culture of creativity, or they can stand out by deliberately rejecting tech trends in favor of more traditional approaches.

The Gartner 2024 Mainstream Marketing Predicts emphasize the need for agility and self-awareness in the rapidly evolving marketing landscape.Join this complimentary webinar as a panel of Gartner marketing experts explores what lies ahead for marketing in 2024 and beyond, and how marketing leaders can navigate the delicate balance between advancing technology and maintaining consumer trust.

Discussion Topics:

  • Refocus customer acquisition and loyalty strategies to counter social media attrition
  • Integrate GenAI technology into in-house creative processes to enhance efficiency and innovation
  • Assess the impact and potential of AI-free, traditional marketing methods on brand differentiation and engagement
