When we design instruction, we typically hope that participants will remember what they learn and use it back on the job. It makes little sense to teach people how to analyze, make decisions, solve problems, and so forth and not have it influence performance on the job, right? Except…

The bad news is that research shows that often, what we teach doesn’t adequately influence job performance. One major reason is that we don’t use learning tactics that promote the brain processes (encoding, storage, and retrieval) needed for remembering and use.

In this session, Patti will discuss how human memory, especially encoding, storage, and retrieval, work and the implications for designing instruction.

Participants will learn what research evidence tells us about:

• How human memory works
• Why it’s relatively harder to remember and easier to forget
• The instructional tactics that make remembering and use more likely

This is the first half of a two-part series on designing for remembering and use.

In Part 2, we’ll use Part 1 knowledge to analyze and use specific design tactics that improve remembering and use, based on Patti’s books.

Presenter: Patti Shank (LinkedIn profile) PhD President Learning Peaks LLC, is the author of Write and Organize for Deeper Learning: 28 evidence-based and easy-to-apply tactics that will make your instruction better for learning (Make It Learnable), Manage Memory for Deeper Learning & Making Sense of Online Learning . Patti is an internationally recognized instructional designer, researcher, and learning analyst who makes these tactics clear and actionable in her books and workshops. She served as the head of health education and training & worked as director of research for The eLearning Guild.  She has also collaborated with content experts at Adobe, Oracle, Fidelity Information Systems, The Denver Hospice, Morgan Stanley, Hunter Douglas, Kaiser Permanente, HOMER Energy, The University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, and California State University and other industry leaders.

What Can Children Teach Us about Project Management?

As surprising as it may seem, the art of raising children leverages many of the same skills as managing a project team.

Fostering the growth of a child’s mind requires the creation of a positive atmosphere comprised of love, trust and enablement. Similarly, in working with teams, we strive to create an atmosphere of open communication, collaboration and trust.

This webinar will highlight and examine 7 things you can learn from kids that apply to project management:

1. Play group dynamics are a lot like team dynamics
   • no one should be left out
   • we should respect the will of the group
2. To gain cooperation, timing is everything
   • never seek it on empty stomachs or after a long day
   • understanding what motivates others is the key to maintaining collaboration
3. Learning moments need to be seized and capitalized on
   • capitalize on the sense of urgency for maximum effect
4. How to combat peer pressure
   • being unique doesn’t mean you don’t fit in
5. Working through conflict means learning to work it out
   • bullying hurts everyone, especially the bullier
6. Value everyone’s talents and approach
   • not everyone learns the same or thinks the same
7. Be consistent when applying support, rewards, corrections and routines
   • it will reduce anxiety and set a pace

The best project managers know that managing the expectations, goals and objectives of key stakeholders is critical to project success.

If the stakeholders aren’t satisfied, even the most efficient and well-executed project won’t be deemed successful in the eyes of those that matter most.

The best way to ensure stakeholder needs are met is to establish them up front, along with clear and mutually agreed upon communication and project completion requirements.

By considering stakeholder perceptions while developing the project charter and project plan, you can avoid unnecessary readjustments during project execution.

In this webinar, you will learn:

• How to initiate projects that help your organization achieve its goals
• How to develop a project charter and a project management plan
• How to identify and analyze project stakeholders and determine their information needs and communication requirements
• How to manage stakeholder expectations and ensure their satisfaction

Every project manager should have a proven, practical, and powerful toolkit – of skills, techniques, processes, procedures, tools, and templates – to help a project or program’s success. The toolkit should be proven (it works), practical (efficient and adaptable), and powerful (big impact).

This is the first in a series of webinars that will share tools you can use on your projects. This webinar focuses on three proven, practical, and powerful tools: Information Mapping, Results Chains, and Benefits Registers. It provides you with a good understanding of each tool, real-world examples, and practical tips to apply them successfully.

1. Information Mapping is a writing method and format — it improves a project’s written communication for both the writer and the reader.
2. Results Chains identify a program’s activities and outcomes and the relationships among them — it clarifies and visually communicates what needs to be done and why.
3. Benefit Registers document a program’s intended benefits, specify how to measure them, and show progress — it proves if a program is achieving the expected outcomes.

Join Daniel Sklar (LinkedIn profile)  and turbocharge your project management with these three tools!

This webinar is an exploration of the key transformational questions being asked of PMO leaders experiencing a changing business landscape from a predictive (traditional, command-and-control) model to an adaptive (agile, product-oriented) model.

• Does my PMO include the right mix of functions, services, and offerings that add value?
• What is the impact to the applications I need/use?
• Who is the target audience for my PMO services?

Bonnie will cover these learning goals:

• Types of PMOs and their purpose
• Criteria to consider for project and portfolio management tools
• Role of the PMO in supporting executives, product managers, and project and agile teams
