A vast number of project managers are employed directly by organizations. Employment as a project manager is one career path, and it’s certainly a viable one.

There are times when the opportunity presents itself to become a freelancer. By the same token, there are times when losing the org chart and becoming an independent looks like an appealing alternative path. While being an independent freelancer can certainly be rewarding and engaging, it is not without its risks and challenges.

In this webinar Mark Mullaly (LinkedIn profile) author of Researching the Value of Project Management draws on more than 30+ years of being self-employed to pull back the curtain and reveal what it takes to successfully manage as an independent professional. You’ll learn the successes, the defeats and what it takes to sustain a successful freelance practice, year in and year out.

If you’ve thought about hanging out your shingle and calling yourself “boss,” this is a presentation that you won’t want to miss.

Project management in any organization rolls up to leadership visibility for strategic management of new products or services. At the bottom line, a project manager’s steering to success is the key to each measurable element.

The modern era’s projects are more complex today and we are required to navigate through lots of challenges such as; people management, schedule, technical etc. using our leadership & communication skills.

However, we may need to identify a “what if-scenario” to be able to enable everyone to realize Project Management needs, organization goals & how everyone (internal stakeholders) can better involve and contribute for the success of each project.

Anil Desai (LinkedIn profile) experiences, thoughts and ideas come from weak-matrix organization particularly where a Project Manager has less authority over resources and needs more efforts to form, push & maintain a good balance between different stakeholders throughout the process.

Anil’s idea of “project management for all” could help realize how a project goal delivers values & builds images across the regions.

Learning Outcomes:

  1. To identify non PMO stakeholders who might need project management education and recommend so
  2. To identify gaps in communication and build a strong bonding for a same goal
  3. Could determine where one can still has a good hold of Project Management as centre of leadership
  4. Can lay out a plan for cross function complexity
  5. How this helps to become a two-way handshake
  6. How we can identify reducing needless efforts of project manager and make it a more collaborative activity
  7. How PM jobs in such a scenario can be more thankful
  8. Finally everyone can be more responsible for a common goal and success of the business

Activity Type: Education – Course or Training  1 PDU – Free
Provider:  Korn Ferry

Almost nobody we speak to in the corporate world seems satisfied with their performance management processes — and absolutely nobody knows what to do about it.

We’ve all tried making tweaks. We’ve revisited, revised and relaunched. But few organizations have managed to crack the age-old problem of how to cultivate feedback conversations that consistently drive improvements in performance.

To get a fresh and informed perspective on the subject, we asked 67 top-flight performers in fields ranging from theatre, film, music, sports, the military and emergency healthcare settings to tell us about their experiences of performance feedback.

What they described to us was an approach, understanding and mindset that are unlike anything we are used to in the corporate sphere.

Hear from Korn Ferry’s panel of Sarah Fass, (LinkedIn profile) Chief Human Resources Office at Bridgewater, Iris Melendez, (LinkedIn profile) Strategic Talent Management Leader at Organon and Matt Deakin, (LinkedIn profile) an Olympic Gold Medal Rower on how this learning can transform the way the corporate world conducts performance feedback.

Live IIL Webinar – July 28th, 2022 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm EDT
Duration: 1 hour Credits: 1 PDU Category A – Free PDU
Presented by : IIL (Rep 1003)

You will need to register with IIL and sign into the site to register for this opportunity. This session may fill up quickly so sign up today.

It’s often said, with nods of wise agreement, that any organization is nothing without its people. Countless books and courses on leadership, over many decades, address this well-known and accepted axiom.

Then why are nearly 70% of all employees in the U.S. disengaged at work? Clearly, the conferences, books, courses and motivational speakers are insufficient to make a difference.

This session by Garry Ridge, (LinkedIn profile) CEO of WD-40 Company & Judith W. Umlas  (LinkedIn profile) Senior Vice President IIL & the author of The Power of Acknowledgment will look “under the hood” of one of the world’s most recognized brands, where employee engagement is above 93%, 98% say they “love to work at WD-40 Company”, and 99% say that their “opinions and values are a good fit” for WD-40 Company.

This high engagement has resulted in a company that has doubled in revenue in the last decade and is on a trajectory to double again in the next.

Garry will share his company’s “learning moments” over the course of his efforts to transform the company’s culture, beginning in 1997. Lessons and principles covered include:

  • The personal journey of every Grateful/Servant leader, and why these philosophies, and behavioral change models are critical
  • The emotional connection of a greater purpose that creates high engagement
  • How to carefully and consciously choose values that will be embedded in all aspects of leadership and employee development
  • Why investing in people who invest in themselves is a secret to succession planning and greater organizational capability
  • The difference between a “team” and a “tribe”, and why WD-40 Company strove to create a cohesive tribe that spans 15 countries where employees work
  • How company performance results are directly connected to its focus on people

What You Will Learn:

  • How to create a state of engagement for your employees
  • How to create a culture in which employee satisfaction if almost universal
  • How to retain your employees and keep them motivated
  • Understand the factors shaping the knowledge-based economy and the importance of appreciation.
  • Recognize the mindset and capabilities necessary for creating and sustaining a successful team.
  • Describe the six dimensions that matter for mission-based work.
  • Implement at least one successful leadership strategy for immediate use in their project teams.

With the significant increase in automation of operations and the increase in change initiatives and project work, a new role is emerging in the executive committee. Companies are beginning to consolidate responsibility for orchestrating and successfully implementing the organization’s continuous transformation and significant strategic initiatives within a single C-level executive. And it’s not only multinationals and for-profit organizations.

The chief project officer goes far beyond the traditional Project Management Officer role or the direct sponsorship of individual projects. They must push their organization toward adopting a project-driven structure and foster a collaborative and empowering culture that reaches across silos. They must also collaborate with HR to develop project-management competencies throughout the organization.

The role should be fully integrated into the C-suite. Just as COOs have in the past, CPOs should behave like an extension of the CEO or even the board and, as such, hold the top managers accountable. CPOs may not be common yet in the C-Suite, but their steady emergence is a leading indicator of how companies will organize themselves to thrive in the project economy.

 Learning Outcomes:

  • The rise of the Chief Project Officer as a new C-suit executive role
  • How to grow from a project manager, PMO,PPM, agile expert into the Chief Project Officer
  • Be able to explain to participant’s leaders and executives why their organization needs a Chief Project Officer
