Part 2 (Part 1 June 27th)

This presentation provides practical, easy to use tips and techniques that project managers can use immediately to help manage these difficult sponsors for optimum project success.

Part of the challenge that the Project Manager faces is having to serve so many different stakeholders and sometimes being pulled in very different directions.

We’re often taught that our “sponsor” is the person who champions the effort and provides critical support.

Indeed, the sponsor is often the one we’re to seek out for support and issue resolution throughout the project.  But what do you do when your sponsor IS the problem???

Unfortunately, sponsors can sometimes be unrealistic, overly demanding, absent/unsupportive, domineering/overbearing, erratic, unclear, or just plain weak!

The good news is that there are techniques that even a rookie project manager can use to effectively manage these difficult sponsors.

This workshop explores 3 specific varieties of the “difficult sponsor”:

• The MIA Sponsor
• The Egomaniac
• The Weakling

This presentation provides practical, easy to use tips and techniques that project managers can use immediately to help manage these difficult sponsors for optimum project success.

Employees who believe that their jobs can be replaced by AI have a 27% lower intent to stay in their organization. At an average organization of 10,000 employees, this decrease in intent to stay costs 53 million USD per year in total costs and lost productivity.

The impact of generative AI (GenAI) on jobs and workers will vary greatly depending on labor market dynamics and other demand drivers.

This blend of certainty and uncertainty makes it difficult for executive leaders to create solid workforce plans that align with their technology and business investments.
