“Project managers” really are “people managers”. However, project managers too often forget the definition of “management”, which is “getting things done through others”.

Project managers see their long list of tasks and tend to become very task-oriented.

They become like goose farmers stuffing their geese with special foods to fatten their livers as quickly as possible which gives them “foie gras”.

Project Managers stuff their team members with as many tasks as they can which gives them a project that finishes on time, they hope.

They often lose their people-orientation in this race to the finish.

The Critical Path in their schedule only tells them which tasks are driving their schedule and when, whereas the Resource-Critical Path in a project schedule shows WHO is driving the schedule and when.

Come and see how you can become a people-manager!

With fewer users and typically a lower degree of complexity when it comes to end-user computing, midsize organizations are in a position to transition more quickly to Windows 10.

The new OS provides small and midsize businesses the opportunity to improve their security posture, streamline ongoing PC management efforts and create an environment that will always be up to date.

This will enable them to be more agile and support bimodal concepts, as well as rapid change and evolution.

However, many midsize organizations underestimate the magnitude of change introduced by Windows 10.

Discussion Topics:

• How Windows 10 is different from previous versions and which features are relevant to midsize organizations
• What to consider when planning for a Windows 10 deployment
• How enterprises can deal with the increased frequency of OS updates

Join Federica Troni (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) and understand the risks and opportunities in adopting Windows 10 in your organization.
