Agile project management is a game changer, especially for IT project managers.

That is because, typically, when agile is embraced by an organization, the role of project manager is de-emphasized in favor of self-organizing teams, and large strategic projects are decomposed in favor of shorter more frequent releases.

The business Project Management Office typically handles the strategic efforts, and the IT organization pivots to improving infrastructure and processes for managing code releases into environments.

So, what do these shifts mean for the IT project manager and their career path?

Using research and practical experience, this webinar introduces the agile concepts that most affect IT project managers and their options moving forward.

Main learning points include: 

• Agile concepts in relation to project management processes
• The shift from IT project manager to scrum master or product owner or subject matter expert.
• Relationship between scrum master and product owner
• New skills to succeed in the agile universe with an emphasis on:
  • Facilitator: Coaching and team development
  • Change manager: Emphasis on flexibility
  • Innovation cheerleader
  • Business story writer and backlog management

The foundation of all effective feedback is this:

The intent to improve performance.

Without this intention behind it, feedback can fall flat, becoming a missed opportunity for both growth and connection. Transformative change cannot happen without feedback, so it is important to create the conditions where the receiver can take it in, reflect on it, and learn from it.

In this interactive webinar,  Christa will explore:

• Key components of high-impact feedback
• The critical connection between feedback and employee engagement
• A neuroscience perspective on feedback
• Emotions as the gatekeepers to rational thought
• Concrete ways to de-escalate emotion and refocus a feedback conversation

Survey results from the Workforce Institute indicate that 87% of employees report a high level of inclusion at their company when there’s a strong culture of recognition.

Of those surveyed, nearly one-quarter said that they’re not recognized frequently enough. A Gallup report found that, when recognized, employees are five times more likely to feel connected to their company’s culture and four times as likely to be engaged.

A recent Achievers survey revealed that 48% of leaders said their culture has deteriorated since the start of the pandemic because of lack of employee input and their failure to connect with remote employees.

When times get tough, recognition programs are needed to increase output, achieve better results, and drive employee engagement and satisfaction.

To ensure inclusivity, sustained productivity, and to drive a positive workplace culture, organizations should double down on their recognition efforts and be mindful of increasing interaction with employees working in alternate locations.

While billions of dollars are spent annually on these programs, it is often difficult to find studies that show the value of these investments.

Chester Elton, the “Apostle of Appreciation” teams up with Jack Phillips, creator of the ROI Methodology®, the most used evaluation system in the world, to bring you an insightful webinar that will teach you why recognition is needed, how it should be provided, and why and how to measure the success of motivation programs at the impact and ROI levels.

During this session, you’ll see research that shows how a few vital leadership skills—when done right—can boost employee engagement and reduce turnover.

You’ll also learn the fascinating science behind why so many managers resist (aka: suck at) something so seemingly simple as gratitude. Even more important, you’ll learn how to demonstrate the value of these investments.

Participants should be able to:

• Identify how employee appreciation enhances motivation and productivity
• Identify the five levels of outcomes
• Explain the need to deliver impact and ROI for selected recognition programs
• Use the eight most powerful gratitude practices to enhance team performance and trust
• Design recognition programs to deliver results using design thinking principles

Note:  Participants in this interactive session will receive a copy of the presentation, job aids, reference material, and a case study.

Presenter: Chester Elton (LinkedIn profile) has been called the “apostle of appreciation,” by the Globe and Mail, and “creative and refreshing” by the New York Times. Elton is an accomplished keynote speaker and is coauthor of several successful leadership books, including All In, The Carrot Principle, and The Orange Revolution: How One Great Team Can Transform an Entire Organization . Chester serves as a leadership consultant to firms such as AT&T, Proctor & Gamble, American Express, Avis Budget Group, and Cigna.
