More and more organisations are currently transitioning into an Agile mindset.

Project Managers are required to be agile themselves in thinking and working in this new way of working with normally limited support or training.

In this webinar, Emily Luijbregts (LinkedIn profile) will  go through what the issues are, how they present themselves and what you can do as a Project Manager to think ‘more agile’ in your projects whilst accepting and learning along the way.

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.

Programs and projects — whether large or small, complex or simple, multi-country or single city — can be highly successful by performing practical project management.

In this webinar Daniel Sklar (LinkedIn profile) goes beyond theory and shows you real world examples of best practices in action.

The examples come from an international program conducted by the world’s largest bottler of non-alcoholic beverages as it converted from local currencies to the euro.

Every customer, supplier, and employee was impacted, as well as anything containing a monetary value, from systems and spreadsheets to paper forms and vending machines.

This program, internally called the Euro Initiative, affected the company’s operations in multiple countries and spawned over 200 sub-projects.

The Euro Initiative achieved success by following project management best practices in a practical and intelligent manner. A top-level sales director stated it was the best project with which he had ever been associated. This webinar will present slides from the actual project and highlight key learnings that Project Managers may apply to their own projects.

It may have been 20 years ago, but we should still follow these best practices today.
