1. Organizations change.
2. They must change (or they disappear).
3. Amidst change, they then struggle to ensure that the different changes they implement are really creating value.

Often, change is perceived like a goal in itself, organizations implement change for the sake of changing and are stuck within a continuous changing loop, accumulating layers of permanent change which appear to be counter-productive, demotivating and dreadful for the organization itself.

In this session Olivier Lazar (LinkedIn profile) will explore how to determine if a change has to occur, and how to ensure it delivers value. Through stability, when the change is not a change anymore.

In the Project Management world, and in the framework defined by PMI® with the PMBOK Guide®, the Program Management Standard and the Portfolio Management Standard, our organizations create the conditions for change (Portfolio Management), assemble the triggers for change (Project Management) and finally deliver the change itself (Program Management) by developing new capabilities.

By developing this continuous processes, some might think that change is an ongoing iterative process, that evolution is a never ending flow of emerging changes.

Actually, it’s not. If the flow of change is continuous in the organization, it doesn’t have the time to absorb the change and realize the expected benefits.

Within life, there is always change. Paradoxically, change is perhaps the one constant.

Feedback – seeking it, giving it and receiving it – is one of the most effective tools we have for harnessing and promoting change, so that it is to our benefit.

But there is a fundamental problem with all traditional feedback: it focuses on the past, on what has already occurred—not on the infinite variety of opportunities that can happen in the future.

It’s tough to give good constructive feedback.

But a business lives and dies by how quickly it can adapt and improve. Input (feedback) is the critical piece of the puzzle – one you can’t afford to ignore.

Feedforward picks up where feedback is limited —that is, it gives the recipient suggestions for the future. In this session, positive aspects of feedback will be reviewed and we’ll take a deep dive into understanding feedforward.

Do you want top performance and high morale from everyone on the team, as well as unstoppable growth of your company? Well, believe it or not, it all starts right here, with mastering feedback and feedforward.

Key takeaways:

• Learn essential tools to effectively give and receive feedback
• Discover the feedforward concept and how to utilize it everyday.

Launching a PMO in the organization is underpinned by critical success factors that are needed to ensure success.

Having the right process and technology can advance the organization’s work and support the leaders in achieving the organization’s strategy, however, the most important differentiator is people.

The work of the PMO starts and ends with people. Building the right team is not simply a best practice but onboarding the right team members ensures that the necessary buy-in is achieved and the right skills are deployed.

Once the leaders are clear on the business requirements of the PMO and the business objectives desired by the organization, the PMO journey begins by addressing  critical questions related to the team.

The questions include:

• What functional capabilities are needed in the PMO?
• Is there specific technical knowledge requirement for the PMO work?
• Do team members need to understand industry requirements of the organization?
• What structure should the PMO have and which roles will be needed to support the work?
• What responsibilities should be defined for the roles inside the PMO?
• Is the team tasked with building the PMO the same as the team expected to run the PMO’s day to day activities?

In addition to addressing these important questions the webinar Philip Diab (LinkedIn profile) will highlight the leadership behaviors needed in PMO professionals as well as the philosophy required to achieve success.

The Social Project Manager describes a non-traditional way of organising projects, managing project performance and progress.

The aim being to deliver, at the enterprise level, a common goal for the business; one that harnesses the performance advantages of a collaborative community.

Social elements help mitigate the constraints associated with the control aspect of project management, which is essential for governance. Team collaboration, problem solving and engagement in projects will never come from technology alone but require careful management.

Peter draws on research from projects and the worlds of social media and communication to paint a vivid and practical guide to the why and how of social project management.

There is no simple template for you to follow; instead he provides an explanation of the benefits, the tools and the constraints so that readers can navigate through to an approach that is sensitive to the culture of their organization and the nature of the projects that they run.

Alongside the author’s ideas, the text features advice and case examples from many of the leading technology providers.
