All management approaches undergo changes, and this includes project management practices. Some changes occur slowly, whereas others take place quickly because of rapid changes in the environment and within the organization.

The impact of the pandemic, advances in technology, growth in artificial intelligence applications, how teams collaborate and communicate with each other, and the role of critical soft skills—are leading us into the next generation of project management.

Additionally, the environment in which project managers perform has changed significantly and has become more complex.

Project management is now becoming a strategic competency necessary for the survival of the organization rather than just another career path position.

Project managers are now seen as managing part of a business when managing a project and are expected to make both project and business decisions.

As we apply project management practices to new types of projects, internal and external forces now impact how project problems are being solved.

In this webinar, Dr. Kerzner will discuss the factors driving the next generation of project management including:

• The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
• Advances in project problem-solving and decision-making
• The growth in project brainstorming sessions
• The growth in artificial intelligence applications
• Establishing criteria for project success and failure
• Converting project failure into success
• The growth in the use of crisis dashboards

In OCM, the most common mistake is to focus only on transitioning to the new systems or processes and not on the people.

People are the single most important factor that drives successful change adoption. Organizations that fail to deliver their strategic initiatives often find the lack of stakeholder involvement and engagement counterproductive.

Stakeholders view proposed changes through their beliefs and perceptive filters. They often see projects as untenable headwinds, so making the business case for the project is much easier than making the subjective What’s In It For Me (WIIFM) case. Your mind has to arrive first!

Successful projects require a prescriptive approach driven by Transformational Leadership and Organizational Change Management so that adoption, usage, and proficiency occur.

During this session, learn the difference between change and transformation and why the latter is preferred.

 Dr. Patricia Anderson (LinkedIn profile) will teach you about the different leadership and OCM practices to engage in through the project phases and which to avoid.  Learn how to move from the abstract to the “why” and then on to the concrete “how” we’re going to change and drive successful project outcomes.

CIOs and IT leaders must consider how to better connect customers with employees using a more intuitive user experience across multiple platforms to create a total experience (TX).

While leaders must contend with constrained resources, the potential benefit of a successful TX strategy is substantial.

Total experience interlinks customer experience (CX), employee experience (EX), user experience (UX) and multiexperience (MX) to create a shared superior experience.

The TX strategy elevates the human experiences (CX and EX) through better technologies (UX and MX).

In this webinar Joseph Provenza (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Senior Director Analyst & Michelle Duerst (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Sr Director Analyst; find out how CIOs can unite these formerly siloed disciplines by collaborating more with their peer executives responsible for CX.

Discussion Topics:

• Find out what TX is, and why various experience disciplines already in use
• Develop a TX strategy that elevates the human experience through better technologies
• Discover real-world examples of organizations successfully deploying a TX strategy

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.
