Succession planning is a process of identifying key positions within an organization to ensure employees are recruited, discovered, and developed to fill positions within your workplace.

Most people view this as a Human Resources department problem, but it impacts all areas of an organization. Currently 55 percent of organizations do not have a formal succession planning program in place!

Whether your workplace is large or small, you cannot afford to let your prime talent walk out the door.

The Internet and books will tell you how to build a succession planning program, but they are not forthcoming about the pitfalls that will snag your success.

This web seminar briefly reviews the basics of succession planning and will help you identify the top 5 problems to avoid. No matter your position in your workplace, you can have an impact on succession planning.

Learn how to be part of the workplaces that have successfully retained up to 98 percent of their workforce and experienced a recruitment success rate of up to 80 percent.

More and more successful project managers are utilizing SharePoint Server to drive their projects and operational initiatives.

Out of the box, SharePoint Server offers many features that enable effective project management. Lists and libraries allow you to consolidate and manage project information in a central place.

While business intelligence features allow you to report on that information in real-time. By utilizing SharePoint along with other business tools such as the Microsoft Office suite of applications, organizations can create a customized Project Management Information System (PMIS) to assist with the daily management of enterprise projects.

During this web seminar ASPE will discuss the many benefits of using SharePoint Server as a Project Management Information system.

Learning Objectives:

  • Using SharePoint to manage project data
  • Consolidating project data using SharePoint libraries
  • Reporting on project data using SharePoint’s business intelligence
  • Automating project tasks with SharePoint workflows

In order to effectively motivate a team to evolve into a High Performing Team, the Project Manager must first understand what the state of maturity the project team is currently in. The Project Manager needs to delegate levels of decision making authority to their team, but knowing how much authority to let go is often a challenge. Project Managers need to understand how to engage their teams in ways that produce effective meetings and also how to measure the teams’ progress as they transition from an initial team of good performers to a High Performing Team.

In the Transition From Team To High Performing Team webinar, the instructor will teach students techniques to assess the level of maturity their team is in and how to anticipate the challenges the team may have as they participate in project meetings. Additionally students will learn how to evaluate to survey and measure the team’s growing effectiveness in 5 key areas: Team Tools and Principles, Customer Focus, Process Management, Scorekeeping and Performance Improvement .

In this webinar, participants will:

  • Understand the phases of team development and limitations the team possesses at each phase
  • Learn how to adapt the method of decision making based on the team’s abilities
  • Learn the key requirements for ensuring meetings are effective for all levels of team maturity
