Live Webinar February 24th, 2015 – 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm EST
Duration: 1 hour webinar Credits: 1 PDU Category A – Free PDU
Sponsored by: PMI New Practitioner CoP(REP #S036)
In the past, success of a project was measured based on its ability to deliver a quality scope on time and within budget.
Although these factors are important to consider and control as a project progresses they are not a true measurement of the success of a project.
A project can only be considered successful if that project delivers the predetermined business value to the customer.
When we look at project success in this light, businesses will make better decisions about which projects to execute and project managers will focus on what is important as their team delivers value.
Delivering business value to the customer
Is the most important aspect of project management.
Through the use of story and real life examples this practical session will help solidify your resolve to be a successful project manager by focusing on delivering value to your customers and business.
You will also learn the five steps to delivering business value and how to apply those steps to your future projects.
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!

Live Webinar – January 14th, 2015 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm EDT
Offered by IAG Consulting (REP 2858)
Duration 1 hour 1 PDU or 1 CDU 1 Category A – Free PDU
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:
Provide clear, rational reasons to do business Architecture.
Present a foundational set of Business Architecture Models, views and uses to mitigate project and analysis risk, drive the value proposition
Online Webinar Recorded – September 13th 2013
Offered by ASPE (REP 2161) 1 Category A PDU – Free PDU Course ID: WS090513
Elicitation is more than asking:
“What Is Your Problem & What Can I Do For You?”
Stakeholders need help to understand their needs. This help comes in the form of elicitation techniques, elicitation concepts that support success, supporting critical success factors (CSF’s), and understanding the road blocks to the process.
This webinar will cover the elicitation techniques from the BABOK, including the advantages and disadvantages of each, concepts that support success, CSF’s, and road blocks.
Few will argue with the notion that the traditional role of a Business Professional is changing at an accelerated rate!
Managers, teams and offices are increasingly being asked to serve as business strategist, change management specialist, human capital coaches and mentors, cross-function experts, and technology innovators required to think and lead current business differently using digital technologies.
They need to be adaptive and innovative, often without the knowledge, skills, or the appropriate resources!
In short, they must enhance, elevate, and emphasize their business acumen.
