As project managers we literally face dozens of decisions every day – big and small.

Decisions more akin to intergalactic warfare to the everyday:

• How to deal with a challenging stakeholder,
• Who to assign to which task,
• When is enough analysis enough,
• What sort of recognition is appropriate, etc.

Yet most of us haven’t thought about the different roles we play in decision making, how we can add the most value, how we can harness the most value from our crew, and do we need more Spocks or Kirks to make the best decisions?

You Will Get:

• Take away ideas you can use on your next mission
• Fresh insights from the latest scientific research and practical applications
• How to truly harness the decision-making prowess of your crew
• Improved quality, commitment, and efficiency of decision-making

Note: You do have to be a PMI® member to register for this opportunity.

Public companies are required to design and implement numerous programs to comply with laws and regulations. These include programs such as import/export, insider trading, anti-corruption, and data protection, to name only a few.

Lawyers and law departments are typically not equipped to utilize the tools and techniques that are often necessary for creating successful outcomes for these programs.

Even though programs that are required by law are often seen as being “mandatory”, they take a particularly strong skill to implement in company cultures where building a consensus is so important.

This webinar will focus on the use of process design, change management and project management in company law departments to create and implement successful compliance programs.

Presenter: David Birk PMP (LinkedIn profile) has been a lawyer for 40 years. Recently retired as general counsel of Avnet, Inc., he implemented numerous compliance projects and programs. Today, David is managing director of Black Belt Compliance, LLC, a consulting firm that assists public companies in designing and implementing compliance programs. He is manager of PMI’s Legal Community of Practice.
