Real change in government program management must consider how new knowledge and skills can be applied by the learner prior to training. And many development initiatives focus more on compliance with existing mandates or the fulfillment of a training quota than on achieving necessary organizational change.
Without management involvement, most training initiatives don’t meet expectations. Adoption of new skills must be supported by the agency, manager and project team members to truly make a difference.

Can you find project success without using modeling techniques?
Are you able to communicate to your stakeholders the current state and demonstrate possible improvements for a desired state through graphical representation?
Modeling is a key component of defining requirements and the basis for improving efficiencies and the development of the solution.
The value that modeling brings to organizational initiatives is often overlooked. When used consistently with a structured and disciplined approach, modeling can prove to be critical to reaching organizational goals and objectives.
During this presentation Glen will discuss:
Quantifying the benefits of modeling and why it’s critical to a project’s success
The risks if you do not implement modeling techniques
The current modeling standards in the industry and how they are used – BPMN and UML
The hierarchal use of modeling throughout the project life cycle
