Project learning is a vital prerequisite for innovation as it directly contributes to project and organizational capability development.

As more organizations become project-based, there is an emergent need to understand how these organizations can overcome challenges of disruptive learning cycles caused by project temporality and employee mobility.

Project learning occurs on the individual, team, and organizational level. Individual learning happens through intuiting and interpreting, learning by doing, experiencing using metaphors and cognitive maps. Team learning occurs through the integration of individual learnings, which result in shared understanding and mutual adjustment of mental models.

Organizational learning manifests itself in the development of practices, policies, guidelines, and routines for the collective benefit.

However, how organizations facilitate the transfer of learning between the individual, project, and organizational levels remains limited.

In this webinar Anna Wiewiora (LinkedIn profile) will present key findings from the PMI sponsored research investigating mechanisms influencing learning flows between individuals, project and the parent organization.

The research was guided by the overarching question: “How does project learning occur over time as an interaction across individual, project, and organizational levels?”

The webinar will focus on presenting 3 notable contributions from the research that informed project management literature and practice.

This research:

1. identified 10 bridging mechanisms for multilevel learning that project-based organizations can utilize to encourage learning from and to projects
2. established that 3 key actors: senior leaders, project managers and project management office play crucial role in activating project learning flows, and engaging individuals, teams and organization to participate in learning efforts.
3. developed a new leadership scale to measure leaders behavior focused on promoting project learning.

When Sound Transit decided to expand the light rail system in Seattle, Washington, USA, it had to find a way to tunnel under the densely populated city without disrupting life above ground.

Seattle was the second worst city in the U.S. for time commuters were stuck in traffic.

The University Link Light Rail Extension extended the light rail system 3.2 miles (5 kilometers) through underground tunnels providing relief for roadway congestion.

The rail line opened months ahead of schedule, and the project closed US$200 million under budget.

Scrum Master and Project Manager are two roles that, for the past 15 years, coexisted well, especially in IT projects.

From the very technical role that was part of the software development team, the Scrum Master evolved into a new organizational role, sometimes with a well defined job description and with responsibilities that transcended the technical background from which it originated.

Although the role was defined in the Scrum framework, the Scrum Master role is now present in other frameworks and there are many training courses and certifications available from other organizations with different views on the skills required and the responsibilities of the Scrum Master.

It is additional evidence that the role is evolving beyond what the Scrum Guide authors intended.

The Project Manager role also changed since the Agile Manifesto publication and the adoption of Agile delivery frameworks. Mainly due to a dynamic business environment, more geographically distributed workforce, and last but not least because of the digital revolution: cloud, social media and mobile technology’s impact on how projects are managed and delivered.

Skills developed as a Scrum Master, like team and people management, are a good foundation for career development.

Like in any other profession Scrum Masters will reach a point where they feel the need to go beyond a Scrum Team of 5-9. Project Management is one option for career change but is it the right one?

This presentation with  Stelian Roman (LinkedIn profile); is based on his experience as a Development Team Lead, Development Manager, Scrum Master and Project Manager working with Scrum teams.

It contains also advice for Project Managers and Scrum Masters that want to play a dual role.

Does your project team gel well?
If not, can you really achieve success?

Project success is tough to achieve as complex scope needs to be completed within compressed schedules and tight budgets.

Another major challenge is the heterogeneous mix of project teams in terms of Age, Geography, Culture, Ethical outlook, etc. Ignoring cultural differences in teams is a recipe for disaster.

Effective Project Leadership demands investing time in deeply understanding cultural factors, clear communication and complete transparency.

This engaging webinar Karthik Ramamurthy (LinkedIn profile)  MCA, MBA, PMP author of Say Yes to Project Success : Winning the Project Management Game will help you understand key challenges, and walk you through a proven, practical six-step approach used across four continents to lead project teams to success.

To facilitate a meeting is to lead a group of people through a predefined agenda with clearly stated and understood goals in such a way that every attendee understands their role, adheres to the Rules of Engagement and participates according to their responsibilities within that meeting’s architecture.

Learning how to do so in spite of those attending the meeting is one of the greatest challenges any businessperson faces. Based on the final chapter of her book Everything’s a Project (and Everyone’s a Project Manager): Book Three: Communicating, Christine Rose (LinkedIn profile) shares that when you understand your role and your responsibility, you will own any meeting you lead.

How To Lead With Presence & Impact!

Why does emotional intelligence (EI) matter? Because at the core of every outstanding leader are the abilities to connect, achieve, inspire and act with resilience.

Emotional intelligence has evolved from an area of research to a recognized set of best practices and core competencies that are at the heart of successful leadership. Today we use EI as an integrated set of skills that underpin highly effective, fast-reacting, and innovative organizations.

This webcast offers you a powerful introduction to the highly popular hands-on AMA seminar, Leading with Emotional Intelligence.

To give a real sense of EI in practice, we’ll take a deep look at how EI drives and facilitates your ability to lead collaboration.  You’ll also learn about the F.L.I.P. Modes of Conversation as a “must have” tool for collaboration and relationship enhancement.

If you want to become the consummate emotionally intelligent leader, this webcast is a great place to start.

Learn:

• Emotional Intelligence (EI):
  • What it is and why it’s such a critical leadership skill
• The 4 cornerstones of EI
• How EI underpins and facilitates 6 core leadership competencies
• The role EI plays in leading collaboration
• How EI skills can help you overcome defensiveness
• Learn how to F.L.I.P. a conversation toward collaboration

We encourage you to register even if you are unable to attend live; you’ll receive replay information following the event.
