Online Webinar – Recorded November 07th, 2023 Activity Type: Education – Online or Digital Media 1 PDU – Free Provider: Gartner Webinars
The current buying environment presents a significant threat to commercial goals and a massive challenge for sellers.
Delays, conflicts, and politics thrive in the B2B buying decision process. Gartner research finds 55% of buying groups experience moderate to high dysfunction, which in turn reduces the likelihood of closing a high-quality deal by 73%.
To support customers in navigating dysfunction, chief sales officers (CSOs) inadvertently built a seller role that is too broadly scoped for the majority of sellers to handle.
In this webinar Alice Walmesley (LinkedIn profile) Gartner Director, Advisory reviews how CSOs and sales leaders should redefine the seller role of the future, reduce the scope of the role, and focus their salespeople on generating high-quality deals.
Discussion Topics:
Reduce the scope of the seller role by looking at technology as a teammate rather than a tool
Focus their salespeople on a much smaller set of uniquely human skills that drive high-quality deals
Redefine the seller role of the future by asking salespeople for less and getting more

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.
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: 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 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.

According to a Gartner survey, 75% of supply chain leaders believe that with labor shortages, low employee engagement, and retention challenges, voluntary turnover is here to stay and will likely increase over the next five or more years.
The traditional response of the blind pursuit of employee retention has not produced optimal talent results.
This raises the question: What if embracing employee turnover has its benefits?
Gartner’s most recent research finds that CSCOs seeking to thrive in this environment must adopt three talent shifts to translate turnover into a competitive advantage.
In this webinar supply chain webinar Caroline Chumakov (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Principal Analyst as she explores these three shifts and real-world examples of organizations that bring these practices to life.
Discussion Topics:
Learn to shift from preventing employee departures to designing for them
Understand how to shift from backfilling open jobs to architecting for on-demand skills access
Change rewarding unnecessarily complex work to fixing it
