What motivates Generation Y to work on projects?

Young professionals are increasingly looking for a specific work environment characterized by opportunities for learning, meaningfulness and achievement. Projects outcomes offer the kind of work environment that fits the expectations of young professionals quite well.

In this session,  Martina Huemann (LinkedIn profile) & Ruth Lechler (LinkedIn profile), share the findings from the research project, The Future of Project Work, and discuss what motivates young professionals to work on projects.

Young project professionals are specifically attracted to this work, as projects fulfill their needs for autonomy, learning, purpose and social connections.

They will discuss the motivators of young project professionals and how organizations can support project management careers.

This session explores in-depth insights from the recently released 2023 Global Culture Report.

Dr. Cristen Dalessandro (LinkedIn profile) of the O.C. Tanner Institute and Daniel Patterson (LinkedIn profile) of the O.C. Tanner Institute share their insights on how organizations can better understand what fulfillment means to today’s employees and how they can cultivate a sense of completeness that helps their people thrive.

• Discover what fulfillment means to employees in today’s ever-changing workplace
• Explore the four factors of fulfillment and how they positively impact employee retention, burnout, and job satisfaction
• Learn practical strategies for helping employees find fulfillment in the workplace

A Fireside Chat With Professor Bent Flyvbjerg On His New Book

Join us for this exclusive event to APM corporate partners to hear Professor Bent Flyvberg (LinkedIn profile) discussing his new book, How Big Things Get Done.

Nothing is more inspiring than a big vision that becomes a triumphant new reality.

Think of how Apple’s iPod went from a project with a single employee to an enormously successful product launch in eleven months. But such successes are the exception.

Consider how London’s Crossrail project delivered five years late and billions over budget. More modest endeavours, whether launching a small business, organizing a conference, or just finishing a work project on time, also commonly fail. Why?

Understanding what distinguishes the triumphs from the failures has been the life’s work of Oxford professor Bent Flyvbjerg. In How Big Things Get Done, he identifies the errors that lead projects to fail, and the research-based principles that will make yours succeed:

• Understand your odds. If you don’t know them, you won’t win.
• Plan slow, act fast. Getting to the action quick feels right. But it’s wrong.
• Think right to left. Start with your goal, then identify the steps to get there.
• Find your Lego. Big is best built from small.
• Master the unknown unknowns. Most think they can’t, so they fail. Flyvbjerg shows how you can.

Cognitive psychologist Jerome Bruner suggests we are 22 times more likely to remember a fact when it has been wrapped in a story. How can a project manager leverage this concept in order to facilitate communication about the project?

This presentation will focus on the project manager telling the project story backed by data.  It will go beyond status and burn down chart and look at ways to present the objective, the definition of done, a benefits roadmap and other critical artifacts that will facilitate understanding and communication.

A good story, backed with data, can hele reduce the “cone of uncertainty” and drive discussion among team members.  Additionally, this technique spans all methodologies.

Lynda & Dave will explore how the project manager can maximize this approach and drive better understanding of the project objectives and the benefits the organization will realize on successful adoption.

They will present an example of telling the story with data from a customer persona through the final outcome for a project.  They will also have a brief discussion on what types of graphs should be used to present certain types of data.

After all, not only will you have to tell a story with data, but you may also have to explain the data to tell the story.

Learning Objectives:

1. Explore various techniques to develop a data driven story to present information to stakeholders on a project including tools such as a Vision Box, a Roadmap, and a customer demographic.
2. Understand data literacy principles about the most appropriate presentation canvas to emphasize your main point.
3. Incorporate the VARK Learning Styles (Visual, Auditory, Reading/Writing, and Kinesthetic) to ensure the story, and associated data, resonates with each type of learner.

“The greatest danger in times of turbulence is not the turbulence; it is to act with yesterday’s logic.” Peter Drucker’, one of the 20th century’s leading management theorists, is said to have gifted us with this timeless quote.

Turbulent times have in fact become the norm; In recent years, we have been witness to an accelerated rate of technological, social and cultural change.

Demand is increasing for faster, more flexible, and easier-to-learn project management methodologies. As such, surviving and thriving in our fast-paced project world requires a responsive change model that can be integrated into our project and program management practices.

In this webinar, Becky Querido (LinkedIn profile) will explore where we find ourselves using a logic of yesterday and what we can do to align with the needs of today’s project managers that require responsiveness to harness the power of turbulence.

Becky will examine a responsive model of change that can be applied to both projects and programs.
