Organizations expect more from their managers than ever before.

Managers must not only learn to manage hybrid teams with new employee expectations and demands, but they do so amid economic uncertainty, high attrition, and a rapid pace of change.

Most organizations try to support managers by providing better development programs, new tools and technologies to boost productivity, and more robust well-being programs.

Despite these considerable investments, 50% of employees are not confident in their manager’s ability to lead their team to success in the next two years.

HR leaders must recognize that the work environment has fundamentally changed and that they must redefine the role of the manager.

Join Brent Cassell (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner VP Advisory  to learn how the best organizations enable managers to lead successful teams in an environment of rapidly evolving employee and business expectations.

Discussion Topics:

• Determine the impacts of the post-pandemic work environment on the manager’s role
• Build the right training programs for management skills in a hybrid work environment
• Remove process barriers that make it harder for managers to do their jobs

Projects are the mechanism to realize business strategy, create competitive advantage and achieve organizational transformation.

Important stuff, but most often, projects are being done in addition to ongoing business operations with constrained resources.

Therefore success is dependent on getting the right resources, spending your budget wisely, and keeping people focused and motivated to execute.

Warning signs that a project is headed to failure include missed deadlines, confusion, conflict and churning. All this can contribute to project manager and team burnout.

Effective project managers look for these early warning signs of failure and burnout so they can take corrective actions, but more importantly, they proactively work to avoid them.

In this webinar you will learn tips and techniques to:

• Cultivate a healthy environment for your project, your team, and yourself
• Create best practices you can rely on to drive the project forward
• Leverage relationships to support and motivate

The Project Management Institute (PMI) has published the 6th edition of A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK^® Guide) and a companion guide dedicated to agile practices.

The impetus?

According to the PMI 2017 Pulse of the Profession^® report, a full 71% of organizations say they are using agile approaches for their projects sometimes, often, or always. And yet, for many practitioners the adoption of agile practices often means a diminished role for the project manager.

Join Bonnie Cooper in this webinar to explore the agile infusion in the PMBOK^® Guide and the companion Agile Practice Guide, as well, and the reality of trying to integrate traditional project management and incremental, adaptive development practices.

Learning goals:

• Review of the PMBOK Guide – Sixth Edition changes and Agile Practice Guide
• Discuss what it means to be an agile project manager
• Discuss the reality of the integration between traditional project management and agile development practices
