Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword for the environment any longer. If organizations want to thrive, they must focus on human sustainability.

With AI becoming more advanced in basic tasks, it’s creating opportunities for people to do more creative work.

People drive the real value in any business, yet many organizations fall short when it comes to fostering supportive, long-lasting connections with their employees. This is largely due to a legacy mind-set around extracting value from people rather than nurturing them to create a better tomorrow.

Jason Cerrato (LinkedIn profile) VP, Market Strategy at Eightfold & Sue Cantrell (LinkedIn profile) Vice President of Products, Workforce Strategies in this informative session.

Learn more about:

  • Advancing human sustainability: To create value for people as human beings, organizations must foster their well-being, skills, opportunities, and sense of purpose.
  • Shifting from transactional to value-driven relationships with people: Leadership incentives must be aligned with human sustainability goals, supported by metrics that measure human outcomes.
  • Implementing initiatives to improve financial, physical, mental well-being, and DEI: Leaders must recognize that when people thrive, their business thrives, too.
  • Join us to hear about Deloitte’s top talent trends and discover how they will impact HR.

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.

Online Webinar  – Recorded 1st Mar 2017
Activity Type: Education – Online or Digital Media  1 PDU – Free
Provider: Association for Project Management – APM

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.

Presenters:

Fran Bodley-Scott: (LinkedIn profile) A veteran marketing & communication consultant with many years experience  and founder of Marketing In Control, Fran specializes in customer retention and stakeholder engagement solutions. She’s been involved with projects throughout her career, ranging from product development to organisation change and business strategy implementation. Fran is an active member of the SEFG. She is a keen supporter of the PMO Flashmob and is also an active member of the APM Stakeholder Engagement Focus Group.

Ian Cribbes (LinkedIn profile) has worked with a wide variety of organisations within the UK and internationally, leading projects with values in excess of £35 million pounds.  Ian is a co-opted member of the People SIG committee and an active member of the Stakeholder Engagement Focus Group.  Ian now runs his own company assisting organisations with programme and project management issues and advising on stakeholder engagement processes.

Call for case studies:

Another important message from the webinar was a request for case studies. To help the SEFG support other practitioners, project managers are encouraged to provide case studies about their stakeholder engagement experience, tips and recommendations. If you have a case study to share, use the template provided below and send it to: SEFG@apm.org.uk.

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
