Teamability^®:
The Ability To Connect With Others
To Form A Productive Team

Individual strengths can lead to a personal triumph,
But a team is greater than the sum of its parts.

Rich Karlgaard, Publisher of Forbes Magazine, recently wrote an article entitled “Teams Matter. Talent is Not Enough.”

In essence, it is a challenge for executives to find and exploit the “magic” of team synergy.

The metrics of teaming now exist!  Even the most extraordinary individual effort is no substitute for great teamwork. Teaming metrics are key to improving selection, increasing engagement, and vastly reducing new-hire turnover, all with measurable business value.

With TGI Teamability:
PMs will be able to create extremely strong teams.

In this introduction you will learn:

• A completely new technology will help you understand why talented, experienced people do not always “team” well with others.
• How to reduce the costs and risks associated with errors in hiring and promoting,
  • Metrics and methods that measure and predict “teaming” behaviors.
  • How to effectively analyze and solve team performance problems.
• How to deliver significant business value by matching people to the functional mission of their team
  • The ‘who fits where’ and the ‘why’ of winning teams
  • Behaviors that impact quality of team interaction and ‘fit’ to job responsibilities
• How it possible to reliably select high quality team players, and to match their job responsibilities to the way they envision themselves serving their team (their “Role”).

This is a MUST TAKE opportunity to help you understand the strengths of your team members placing them in the roles that will make your projects even more successful!

ERP continues to be the backbone business application platform for most midsize organizations, and this role will be preserved in postmodern ERP.

The need to synchronize tasks and data, provide consolidated analysis, leverage single-view attributes and support spanning business processes all remain critical.

However, for many midsize organizations, ERP and the associated strategy, have become too slow-moving and unchanging.

Today a different construct that supports business agility is needed.

Discussion Topics:

• How to use the Gartner Pace-Layered Application Strategy to synchronize business needs for ERP
• How to align your postmodern ERP road-map with your organization’s digital business strategy and underpinning technologies
• How to define the postmodern ERP skills gap in your organization

Presenter: Jose A. Ruggero, (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Managing VP

This webinar is the third in a 3 part series series on Collaboration by Solutions Cube.  Although this module is a part of the series – each module in the series can be taken individually.

The PMBOK® refers to the concept of progressive elaboration as a recommended method for defining the project’s scope and producing project outcomes.

Many teams struggle with applying progressive elaboration or lack the knowledge to apply these techniques in manner which allows for continual clarification of the project scope versus expanding the boundaries of the project scope.

In this 1 hour live in-depth Webinar participants learn how to:

• Apply progressive elaboration concepts on the creation of project deliverables
• Use the Wave Concept to develop project deliverables in a collaborative meeting setting
• Keep stakeholders focused on the deliverable or task at hand during meetings
• Structure a progress elaboration meeting activity expand the depth of knowledge for a deliverable without expanding the scope of the project effort

Join Solutions Cube for this 1 hour in depth presentation to learn how to avoid allowing progressive elaboration to become an uncontrolled scope creep dilemma on their projects. This is part 3 of a three part series presented by Solutions Cube.

Enterprise Business Architecture is quickly evolving into a mainstream business capability.

Some would argue that it is already there particularly when 50% of the world’s top performing organizations have embraced business architecture as a strategic differentiator ranging from Government, Telco’s, Manufacturing and Financial Institutions.

However there continues to be a large population of change executives, managers and resources who regard Business Architecture as a theoretical practice.

Strategic change initiatives proliferate in business today. The speed and rate of change demands we maintain holistic oversight of all the moving parts to ensure realization of target operating models and designs.

Historically only a few strategic programs would be at play. In the last decade this number has grown to include on-shoring/off-shoring, centralization, spans of control, business transformation, vendor outsourcing, modernization, mergers/acquisitions, channel optimization, client segmentation, journeys and experience.

To facilitate strategic alignment and execution of these initiatives, firms are investing in business architecture.

Beyond Theory will focus on what are the market and internal forces at work which have been driving and will continue to drive organizations to use the models to better understand business impact, scope, execution and benefits realization.

The discussion will address the deployment and adoption challenges and look at industry standards and Blueprinting for strategic opportunities. It will provide a foundational knowledge of the business architecture framework and model types to crystalize scope, identify stakeholders, manage risk and how early analysis, through the lens of the business architecture, will influence estimating, resourcing, time, cost and quality.

Business Architecture is the link between strategy and execution.

Learning Objectives:

1. Provide clear, rational reasons to do business Architecture.
2. Present a foundational set of Business Architecture Models, views and uses to mitigate project and analysis risk, drive the value proposition
3. Recommend a staged Execution Model
