3 Learning Objectives from this Session:

  • Effective analyst engagements models that drive value

NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) has been described as a user manual for the brain, and can be used to develop all aspects of our emotional intelligence, from self awareness, state management, and social awareness to social influence.

In many of today’s organizations with complex supply chains, where command and control style is relegated to the past, we need such skills in social influence to get things done through others.

In this webinar, Peter Parkes will give an overview of the application of NLP to project management, and show how it can be used to help us achieve mastery by modelling the behaviors of those who excel.

NLP for Project Managers:
Make things happen with neuro-linguistic programming

Identifying and forecasting the need and application of resources to all aspects of IT initiatives and operations is difficult for large organizations. They can, however, console themselves that there are always people to throw at the problem.

Small and midsize businesses have issues in this space that are… different… from large organizations. And, they typically don’t have anyone to throw at problems; because everyone is too busy.

This webinar will offer ideas and approaches that “fit” smaller IT organizations.

Discussion Topics:

  • The resource issues in small and midsize organization; and the “difference” areas from larger organizations
  • Useful approaches for identifying resources, dividing up responsibilities, reasonably tracking who is/is not fully allocated; and how to determine future needs
  • The most useful mechanisms to use in reporting the “state” of resources to leaders

Is a lack of trust eroding your organization’s profitability?

Many businesses fail to recognize that trust-related problems like redundancy, bureaucracy, fraud and turnover eat away at an organization’s bottom line in the form of slowed productivity, diverted resources and missed opportunities.

A lack of trust among customers chips away at brand integrity!

Doing business at the “Speed of Trust” dramatically lowers costs, speeds up results and increases profits and influence. Attend this informative webinar and you can begin to realize “Trust Dividends”—and get the benefits of a key issue most businesses ignore.

What You Will Learn:

  • How to identify the trust gaps that exist in your organization
  • How to recognize the tools you can use to engage in the real work Instead of paying outrageous “Trust Taxes” that erode your bottom line
  • That trust is a learnable, critical leadership skill and the bedrock of highly functioning teams
  • When trust is high in an organization, costs go down, employees stay longer, talents and abilities are utilized.

While attending this program is FREE, reservations are required – However most AMA webinars are recorded for later viewing.

We encourage you to register even if you are unable to attend live; you’ll receive replay information following the event.
