How can you collect deep insights from training participants (and others) to support your surveys or other training evaluation data?

Try focus groups! Focus groups offer the opportunity to go deeper and add detail and variety to a dataset – much more than would be obtainable with surveys alone.

A focus group is essentially a group interview or small group discussion during which a moderator asks questions in an interactive group setting where participants are encouraged to talk with each other as well as with the moderator.

They offer a great way to gather in-depth information about participants’ thoughts, feelings, experiences or opinions on a specific topic.

Learn:

• How to set up and prepare for focus groups and what to expect before, during and after focus group sessions.
• How to invite and encourage focus group participants to share their stories.
• How focus groups can be used to both develop surveys and to corroborate survey data

In this hour, Ruck will explore exactly what that means, using the Animation engine and the always-amazing Morph transition.

Oftentimes, when employees hear the term “diversity, equity and inclusion,” they immediately think it is solely the responsibility of human resources.

It’s not. As project managers and members of PMI, we strive to be good shepherds of the resources in our care – including the diverse group of people on our teams.

To do this, and to realize the greatest benefit for our projects, we need to ensure our teammates feel safe to bring their unique experiences and best self to their work.

By incorporating human-centered design /design thinking methodologies into your leadership toolkit, you will be able to lower some structural barriers to success.

Through a mix of storytelling, statistics, and practical activities, this webinar will guide you to becoming a more aware team leader so you can move beyond having a diverse team and into having a high – functioning, engaged and inclusive one.
Learning Outcomes:

• Distinguish between diversity and inclusion
• Articulate key benefits for inclusion on project teams
• Summarize the business case for human-centered design
• Identify how human-centered design activities can overcome barriers to inclusion
• Apply human-centered design thinking to project management practices
