    Guidance, Training & Certification

    Vast sums of money are invested in projects, programs, and change initiatives across all sectors and industries.

    Business cases or spending proposals typically act as the catalyst for change yet initiatives often fail at the first hurdle as the business case fails to convince senior management of the return on investment.

    This creates a major problem for project teams as they struggle to secure funding for essential change initiatives, simply because the justification for change is insufficient to persuade those that authorize funding.

    Additionally, projects and other change initiatives are at risk of failure (time, scope / cost / benefits realization) if the business case fails to accurately scope critical aspects of the initiative. This is of particular importance in the public sector where taxpayer funds are at stake. 

    Creating effective business cases and spending proposals is therefore critical to securing funding and management buy-in. It is important that individuals have the opportunity to develop their capabilities to create, review, and adapt effective business cases.

    After this one-hour session, learners will be able to:

    • Describe the Green Book and Five Case Model, official guidance, and basis for APMG certification exams
    • Understand the 6 key areas:
      1. Overview of the Five Case Model
      2. Developing the Strategic Case
      3. Developing the Economic Case
      4. Developing the Commercial Case
      5. Developing the Financial Case
      6. Developing the Management Case
    • Learn about the APMG Better Business CasesTM training and accreditation process.

    When you think of animation, do you think of flying bullets and spiraling headlines?
    Many people do, unfortunately, and so animation suffers a bad reputation. In fact, one of your best opportunities to shine as a content creator and presenter is through smart, effective, and appropriate use of animation and in this hour, we’ll explore exactly what that means.

    Rick will run the gamut from basic animation through advanced techniques, and of course, explore Morph, the dynamic first cousin to Animation.

    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.

    • The Rise Of The Chief Project Officer In The C-Suite, & What You Need To Do To Become One

    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
