In their book “Playing to Win, How Strategy Really Works” A. G. Lafley and Roger Martin argue that leaders need to understand that the work of strategy is based on a cascade of interconnected choices that start with clarifying “winning aspirations” and end with the identification of the capabilities and systems required to win.

The power of this message is that it clearly highlights …
The two sides of strategy, thinking & doing!

Traditionally speaking the field of strategy focused on the art of crafting strategy, however, executives are increasingly recognizing that this is only one side of the coin.

A successful strategy takes into account not only the realities of markets and competition but is also built on the capabilities of the organization.

This is perhaps forcing management consultants and strategy gurus to rethink how they explain strategy.

There is greater recognition now that successful strategy is not simply dependent on putting in place a strong strategy setting framework but also an effective delivery mechanism that executes it.

Linking strategy thinking with doing presents a huge opportunity for project management both as a discipline and a profession to uniquely meet the strategy execution challenge.

It is within this context that PMOs can step up to the plate and bridge the gap between crafting and delivering.

In this webinar  Philip Diab (LinkedIn profile) will explore some critical questions addressing the role of the PMO in strategy execution.

Learn:

  • Are there different types of PMOs and are some better positioned to support the organization in strategy?
  • Does strategy execution warrant a re-examination of the role of PMOs in organizations?
  • Can the PMO embrace a mission that includes a diverse range of services and at the same time support executives in delivering strategy?
  • How can the PMO add value in strategy execution?
  • What capabilities does the PMO need to meet the strategy execution challenge?
  • Does the PMO team composition need to be adjusted to address strategy execution?

The webinar will leverage lessons learned based on real life examples to explain how the PMO can add value to the field of strategy execution.

In today’s rapidly changing business climate, organizations must be able to dynamically respond to new information and insights, better equip a nimble workforce and prepare for future changes.

Data-driven, thoughtfully integrated workforce planning can deliver meaningful results across recruiting, learning, development, and leadership.

An HCI research study showed that nearly half of respondents feel that their organizations are unprepared for the talent needs of the future, and another 35% report that they are not confident in their organization’s strategic workforce planning capabilities.

In this webcast, Bill Craib, (LinkedIn profile, HCI bio), Senior Vice President of Enterprise Learning at HCI, will identify the building blocks of any strong workforce planning program, and provide strategies for building on that foundation as the program matures.

Learn:

  • How to build a common language of workforce planning in your organization to facilitate data collection and analysis
  • Strategies for conducting a current-state analysis to identify gaps and needs
  • How to build on that current-state analysis and explore the future possibilities of an effective strategic workforce plan

  1. Planning is vital to your project execution and success.

  4. Effective planning meetings will help you not only develop key artifacts but also provide continuous team building.

This webinar will discuss how to effectively facilitate productive face-to-face kickoff sessions (both in person and virtual) and ongoing planning meetings. You’ll also learn about the impacts of culture (organizational and global) on team dynamics.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Understand why planning for your project is so important and similarly, why planning for a high-quality meeting is so important

  • Understand the impacts of culture on team dynamics
