In the next five years, the world will see more projects than ever. The reconstruction of the economy, healthcare, social care, and society at large, after the devastating global pandemic crisis, will be unprecedented in human history.

According to McKinsey Governments have announced $10 trillion in reconstruction funds in the first two months of the crisis alone, which is three times more than the response to the 2008–09 financial crisis.

We are witnessing the rise of projects as the main unit of work, as well as the essential model to deliver change and create value for individuals, organizations and society.

The move from a world driven by efficiency to a world driven by the change will have enormous consequences in terms of strategies, culture, organizational structure, competencies, compensations, etc.

Yet, today, about 70% of projects and strategies fail to deliver their objectives. We urgently need to step up and significantly increase success rates. Considering that, every year, approximately 48 trillion US dollars are invested in projects, we fail to deliver trillions of benefits, value, and impact in organizations and society.

To tackle the huge challenges ahead, project management and project managers need to reinvent themselves into strategy implementation professionals. Join us for this webinar to discover more.

Key questions that we will address during this webinar:

• What is strategy implementation and how does it connect with project management?
• How does project management need to reinvent itself to deliver projects and strategies more successfully?
• Which skills do you need to develop to succeed in a world driven by change?

Join Antonio Nieto-Rodriquez, (LinkedIn profile) of The Focused Organization in this webinar which is applicable to those involved in planning and delivery projects and other business change initiatives including project, programme & portfolio management professionals, PMOs, Managers, Agile/Scrum practitioners and Business Analysts.

The imperative to be adaptive couldn’t be made stronger than it was last year, yet most content creation is still caught up in rigid and outdated workflows.

Common creative processes are slowing content creators down, resulting in irrelevant material that is obsolete by the time it reaches its audience.

The Agile movement—borne from the world of software development—offers values and principles that can transform how we create.

Whether you’re building training courses, internal communications, or something else altogether; your content development can be better and faster by adopting an agile mindset.

Join marketer & agilist, Kevin Doherty, (LinkedIn profile) Marketing Communications Manager, Vyond,  for this crash course on creating content in an agile way.

Over the course of this one-hour webinar, Kevin will offer a primer on the agile movement and lay out how it can be applied to any creative process, followed by a Q&A with attendees.

You’ll learn:

• What “waterfall” is, and why it’s killing your content
• The history, values, and principles of agile software development
• Small mindset and process shifts that will take your content to the next level
