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.
Bonnie will review:
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

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:
Play group dynamics are a lot like team dynamics
no one should be left out
we should respect the will of the group
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
Learning moments need to be seized and capitalized on
capitalize on the sense of urgency for maximum effect
How to combat peer pressure
being unique doesn’t mean you don’t fit in
Working through conflict means learning to work it out
bullying hurts everyone, especially the bullier
Value everyone’s talents and approach
not everyone learns the same or thinks the same
Be consistent when applying support, rewards, corrections and routines
it will reduce anxiety and set a pace

Stakeholder Engagement helps us understand what people involved with a project want, and how to engage them to help achieve project success. For both new and experienced project managers, a big challenge is where to go for guidance on the topic.
The Stakeholder Engagement Focus Group, part of the APM People SIG, has started to collate stakeholder engagement resources on the APM Website.
This webinar provides an overview of the information and tools currently available and how you can help add to and improve this facility.
There are many reasons why projects may struggle to meet their goals but a lack of effective stakeholder engagement is widely acknowledged to be one of the main issues.
The Stakeholder Engagement Focus Group (SEFG), now part of the APM People SIG, was established to encourage practitioners to make stakeholder engagement a higher priority.
The first project for the SEFG was to start collating stakeholder engagement resources.
The aim is to support project professionals by sharing case studies, creating an introduction to the key principles of stakeholder engagement, and pointing to relevant and useful reference materials.
In this webinar Fran and Ian will introduce the Stakeholder Engagement Focus Group, provide an update on the SEFG’s progress to date and the materials available on the APM site, and plans for improving and building on these resources.
Presenters:

She’s been involved with projects throughout her career, ranging from product development to organisation change and business strategy implementation. Fran is an active member of the SEFG.

Call for case studies:
Another important message from the webinar was a request for case studies. To help the SEFG support other practitioners, project managers are encouraged to provide case studies about their stakeholder engagement experience, tips and recommendations. If you have a case study to share, use the template provided below and send it to: SEFG@apm.org.uk.

Microaggressions are “brief and commonplace verbal, behavioral, and environmental indignities, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative slights and insults that potentially have harmful or unpleasant psychological impact on the target person or group.”
Microaggressions are like paper cuts to the human spirit—they are abrupt and subtle, but cause lingering pain. When left unchecked in the workplace, they threaten relationships and performance.
Dealing effectively with microaggressions at work requires a willingness to: shift our perspective, sit with uncomfortable feelings, de-escalate our own emotions, and be curious about others’ experiences.
In this interactive webinar Nyah will examine various types of microaggression and how they show up in the workplace. We’ll explore the importance of separating intention from impact in order to drive productive dialogue and connection.
Using real-life scenarios, Nyah will practice responding in ways that are productive and authentic, creating a foundation for a work culture of engagement and inclusion.
