Delivering higher-value projects in increasingly shorter timeframes sustains competitiveness.

Challenges exist at every turn; risk must be understood and mitigated, and problems recognized and solved quickly.

Adaptive reasoning and problem-solving skills have become increasingly important in project management, where decisions based on sometimes sparse, voluminous, or contradictory data must be dealt with, verified and conveyed to a diversity of team members – often under stressful, time-sensitive circumstances.

In such situations, project managers’ ability to update their mental models precisely, draw valid conclusions, and effectively deploy response through team members is critical.

This presentation discusses how advancements in adaptive reasoning and problem-solving skills resulting from the development of structured approaches to innovation are changing perceptions of project deliverables (time, quality, cost, risk management, et al).

Presenter: Dana W. Clarke, Sr. (LinkedIn profile) President/CEO of Applied Innovation Alliance LLC, specializes on the advancement and practical application of Structured Innovation and TRIZ (The Theory of Inventive Problem Solving).  Author of TRIZ: Through the Eyes of an American TRIZ Specialist & 40 Principles: TRIZ Keys to Innovation [Extended Edition]  His expertise encompasses the practical applications, consulting, facilitation and training of methodologies and business practices. As an expert in Strategic Planning, Competitive Intelligence, Business Process Innovation, Quality Function Deployment, and TRIZ. Dana became the first American to become internationally recognized as a Level 4 TRIZ Specialist by the International Association of TRIZ.

The state of workplace culture is in flux. Awareness and action is increasing, but organizations are still keeping their culture initiatives separate, stuck in their proverbial siloes.

Strategies are fragmented, improvements inconsistent, but the most important thing organizations are missing is the employee’s voice. If they want to address problems like burnout, leadership development, and team performance, companies have to start listening to their people and making employee experience a central part of their culture strategy.

Learn:

• The latest research and thinking on the state of workplace culture today, and what tomorrow might look like.
• How employees all over the world are doing across the six core elements of workplace culture
• Why micro-experiences have an incredible power to influence the employee experience
• What we can all do to reduce employee burnout
• How to develop successful leaders by embracing modern leadership strategies

Join Alex Lovell, (LinkedIn profile) Manager of Research and Assessment at O.C. Tanner & learn what you can do to address or improve:

1. Burnout
2. Leadership
3. Employee experience
4. Listening
5. Teams
6. One-to-one meetings
7. Recognition

Part 2 (Part 1 June 27th)

This presentation provides practical, easy to use tips and techniques that project managers can use immediately to help manage these difficult sponsors for optimum project success.

Part of the challenge that the Project Manager faces is having to serve so many different stakeholders and sometimes being pulled in very different directions.

We’re often taught that our “sponsor” is the person who champions the effort and provides critical support.

Indeed, the sponsor is often the one we’re to seek out for support and issue resolution throughout the project.  But what do you do when your sponsor IS the problem???

Unfortunately, sponsors can sometimes be unrealistic, overly demanding, absent/unsupportive, domineering/overbearing, erratic, unclear, or just plain weak!

The good news is that there are techniques that even a rookie project manager can use to effectively manage these difficult sponsors.

This workshop explores 3 specific varieties of the “difficult sponsor”:

• The MIA Sponsor
• The Egomaniac
• The Weakling

This presentation provides practical, easy to use tips and techniques that project managers can use immediately to help manage these difficult sponsors for optimum project success.

Presenter: Dana Brownlee (LinkedIn profile); an energetic and innovative corporate trainer, speaker, and workshop facilitator; garnered her critical team leadership and management consulting experience through her years with AT&T Bell Labs, AT&T, IBM Consulting, and EMC Corporation. She possesses an impressive array of credentials including an MBA (Emory University), BIE (Georgia Tech), BS (Spelman College), IBM Business Transformation Consulting Certification, Project Management Professional, and Myers Briggs Type Indicator Qualification.
