The Use of an Award Winning Teaching Case Study

Dr Christine Unterhitzenberger (the author) will present some theoretical background on the use of case studies in teaching and then introduce the case study itself and outline its potential use in online settings.

The case study on resolving agency issues in client-contractor relationships was the winner of the 2019 DSI PMI Instructional Case Writing Competition. The author will present some theoretical background on the use of case studies in teaching and then introduce the case study itself and outline its potential use in online settings.

The case study focuses on the management of relationships which has been acknowledged as a crucial element of project success. However, agency related issues such as goal conflict, information asymmet

ry or opportunistic behavior can make relationship management a real challenge. The program managers for One Global Headquarters at Merck developed their own way on how to deal with this challenge in a complex and uncertain environment. This case study will provide unique insights into their approach and motivation.

You can find the full case study here.

Stakeholder Engagement helps us understand what people involved with a project want, and how to engage them to help achieve project success. For both new and experienced project managers, a big challenge is where to go for guidance on the topic.

The Stakeholder Engagement Focus Group, part of the APM People SIG , has started to collate stakeholder engagement resources on the APM Website.

This webinar provides an overview of the information and tools currently available and how you can help add to and improve this facility.

There are many reasons why projects may struggle to meet their goals but a lack of effective stakeholder engagement is widely acknowledged to be one of the main issues.

The Stakeholder Engagement Focus Group (SEFG), now part of the APM People SIG, was established to encourage practitioners to make stakeholder engagement a higher priority.

The first project for the SEFG was to start collating stakeholder engagement resources.

The aim is to support project professionals by sharing case studies, creating an introduction to the key principles of stakeholder engagement, and pointing to relevant and useful reference materials.

These APM Stakeholder Resources are now available on the APM website and .accessible to anyone!

In this webinar Fran and Ian will introduce the Stakeholder Engagement Focus Group, provide an update on the SEFG’s progress to date and the materials available on the APM site, and plans for improving and building on these resources.

Call for case studies:

Another important message from the webinar was a request for case studies.

Business leaders use megatrends to help shape business operations and guide decisions on portfolio investments, new market explorations, and business line viability. Plus, megatrends are sometimes used as input for a larger scenario planning exercise.

The identification, prioritization, and application of megatrends can help the organization and its leaders to identify the highest impact innovation opportunities by informing how the future will unfold, including major customer, technical, societal, and regulatory trends.

Research and development (R&D) leaders need to consider alternate strategic and product options when prioritizing investments for future learning and flexibility. Join this complimentary Gartner R&D webinar with  Atul Dighe (LinkedIn profile) Gartner VP Advisory, to learn how R&D leaders can discover the most impactful innovation opportunities.

Discussion Topics:

• Establish a process to continually assess the impact of opportunities on your industry and organization
• Inform the organization of potential customer, technology, sociological, and regulatory shifts
• Decide which innovation opportunities to start, stop, or change levels of investment
