Everyone agrees that good communication is important for project success, yet how many of us really practice good communication?

Successful projects require good communication between all the people on the project, including but not limited to: project managers, team members, stakeholders, vendors and support people.

However, project communication involves more than just who we communicate with, it also involves the what, how and when we communicate.

Unless you are a one person project, communication is important to your project success and this webinar will help you improve your project communication.

Join Sandy Haydon, PMP (LinkedIn profile) to explore the complexities of project communication.

She will cover:

  • Who to communicate to?
  • What to communicate?
  • When and how often to communicate?
  • How to select the best media (in person, phone, email, etc.)

As well as other considerations, such as location (the next office, across the country, or around the world), cultures, and generational differences.

Introduction to Kanban

Online Webinar – Recorded June 18th 2013
Offered by ASPE (REP 2161) 1 Category A PDU – Free PDU

As companies work to migrate their software development approach from Waterfall to Agile, they often begin to discover that the limited set of tools offered by the Agile (or Scrum) framework alone do not satisfy organizational needs.

Larger projects, more teams, and limited resources are often the hallmark and impetus to implement a Lean development approach where value streams and waste elimination drive the creation of better products, more profitable efforts, and fully utilized resource teams.

In this web seminar ASPE will discuss the process, function, and benefits of utilizing Kanban and Lean to streamline your efforts.

World-renowned Fortune 500 business consultant Bonnie St. John (LinkedIn profile) has noticed an alarming degree of ambivalence among women about seeing themselves as leaders and being fully committed to achieving leadership roles. Even her teenage daughter, Darcy, has harbored reservations and voiced surprisingly stereotypical criticisms of women as leaders.

In this powerful program, Bonnie will share the rich wisdom and insights she and her daughter Darcy gleaned from their conversations with such fascinating role model.

What You Will Learn:

  • Hillary Clinton’s views on the timeless value of mentorship, and how women are particularly suited to benefit from mentoring and being mentored.
  • What Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, President of Liberia, who risked death many times to emerge as the first female elected head of state on the continent of Africa, told Bonnie about how to flex your “courage muscles.”
  • How Dr. Condoleezza Rice shared her hard-won wisdom about the importance of delegation, and the irreplaceable value of face-to-face conversation.
  • Co-Chairman of Sony Pictures, Amy Pascal’s secrets to getting the best out of people through her “no-fingerprints” leadership style.
  • How Wendy Kopp, founder of Teach For America, navigates her team to create unprecedented breakthroughs by finding the intersection of optimism and realism.
  • Lessons from Sharon Allen, former Chairman of Deloitte, LLP, on the importance of authenticity and the pitfalls of trying to model one’s leadership style too much on those of the male leaders around them.
  • How Lisa P. Jackson took the “mommy track” and ended up with a Cabinet post in the White House as Barack Obama’s Administrator of the EPA
