It’s one thing to be a project manager. It’s another entirely to deploy it in true life and death situations. PMI Global’s 2019 “Best of the Best” in project management,

Carl Pritchard, shares his experience in deploying project management best practices in wrestling with Stage Four liver and lung cancer…and keeping it at bay. He examines the basic life lessons where project management has saved him from bad treatments and difficult medical professionals.

In this discussion with Bill Dannenmaier, Carl shares how the urgency of a terminal diagnosis brings amazing focus to what’s important in our project (and life) environments. And he explores where project management should take us as we plot out the next year, five years, and lifetime in our professional worlds.

Benefits of attending this webinar include:

• Learn the Value of Lessons Learned, and constant recapture.
• To never shy away from, but to reaffirm your project objective as needed.
• Trust your professional instincts, but know where they are supposed to take you, and know when to not simply trust the process.

Bad projects abound, and research by Project Management Institute and others has provided useful insight into the underlying causes of bad projects.

In this webinar Michael looks beyond why projects go bad and explores why bad projects are so hard to kill.

Michael explains how sunk costs, groupthink, escalation of commitment, and conflicts of interest contribute to keeping death-march projects needlessly alive.

Each of these behaviors is defined and illustrated using project stories from history (the sinking of the Titanic and the Concorde jetliner), project stories from the presenter’s own personal experience climbing some of the world’s tallest mountains (Denali, Aconcagua, and Kilimanjaro), and project stories from business (Abilene Paradox and industry-funded soda studies).

Some recently published research about the neural science underlying these behaviors is referenced and the impact of these behaviors is described and then linked to the undercutting of ethics, trust, leadership, and project success.

Walk away with a list of actions that you can take to help avoid being victimized by bad projects.

Presenter: Michael O’Brochta (LinkedIn profile) ACP, PMP  MPM is the author of How To Get Executives To Act For Project Success: Building A Strong Mutual Partnership and has managed hundreds of projects as President of Zozer Inc where Michael helps organizations raise their level of project management performance. As senior project manager at the Central Intelligence Agency, he led the project management and systems engineering training and certification program to mature practices agency-wide.  Since Michael’s recent climb of another of the world’s seven summits, he has been exploring the relationship between project management and mountain climbing

Meetings are a necessary part of every project manager’s (and agilists’) day. However, as important as these events are (yes, meetings are events!), they are frequently poorly run and leave both meeting leaders and attendees dissatisfied.

This can be detrimental to the project because of inherent miscommunication or non-communication, to say nothing of the reputation of the project leader. In this session, attendees will learn the fundamentals of good meeting management starting with having a good agenda to being “large and in charge” to dealing with meeting goblins – those nasty personalities that sometimes emerge during meetings.

The increasing role of AI in meeting facilitation will also be discussed.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the importance of planning for your meetings and your projects – and how this impacts your project team
• Recognize and deal with disruptive meeting behavior and gain tips on how to prevent others from hijacking your meeting.
• Differentiate online meeting facilitation skills from those needed for face-to-face meetings
• Identify ways in which AI can be (and has already been) made part of meeting facilitation

The topic of the webinar, close to the border of psychology, includes those ethical aspects that are tremendously influencing our projects and social life as well.

The presenters, Simona Bonghez (LinkedIn profile), & Leah Brophy (LinkedIn profile) are members of the PMI Ethics Member Advisory Group.

Simona & Leah will talk about the psychological distance between our actions and their impact, about how this distance explains some of our temptations (especially when we fell pray to them) and about the broken window concept applied in ethics (something that we encounter more and more nowadays).

Ethics tools available for practitioners are presented and their possible practical results shortly described.

Failure to actively manage project risk is one of the most often cited origins of project failure. This webinar presents a classic risk management approach with easy-to-understand examples and tips for getting your whole project team involved.

The benefits of risk management are easy to understand: When you see a problem coming from a long way off, you have many more options for reducing or eliminating the problem. The same concept applies to potential good news: find opportunities and work to make them come true.

Benefits of attending this webinar include:

• Learn the #1 most common risk management mistake and how to overcome it.
• Engage your entire team in identifying and managing threats and opportunities.
• Leave the webinar with a clear checklist that will make it easier to systematically identify, monitor, and respond to project risks
