These days, the fusion of business and technology has increased the importance as well as the value of a growing percentage of programs and projects.

In the next few years, trillions of dollars’ worth of emerging technology and the disruption it brings will without question intensify the need to deliver strategic initiatives on time and within budget.

All of this has intensified the interests of board members and increased the activities at the board of directors’ level. Board meetings require proper etiquette to ensure efficiency and content.

Proper etiquette also supports the lively and spirited discussions that are commonly the norm at many board meetings.

Those who participate at board meetings must also ensure that they are speaking at the meeting in observance of legal and ethical principles. Program and project managers are increasingly being called upon to attend or participate at board meetings – – – So are you prepared if you get asked?

This webinar discusses using the Praxis Framework.

This framework helps individuals and organisations realise the intended benefits of projects and programmes and encompasses a body of knowledge, methodology, competency framework and capability maturity model.

Despite running over 100 projects a year, the operations team at American Express Global Business Travel did not have a standardised Project and Programme framework prior to Praxis, which contributed to some challenges they wanted to address.

This webinar will openly and honestly explore how they adopted, with Training Bytesize’s assistance, the Praxis Framework and what they have learned from this experience.

During this session Brijender S Rathore from American Express GBT and Emma Jones (LinkedIn profile) on behalf of APMG and Training Bytesize will provide an overview of how the Praxis Framework was implemented and discuss:

• The problems and challenges American Express Global Business Travel were facing
• Why they chose the Praxis Framework?
• The process they used to implement and embed the framework
• What lessons were learned.

Good projects intentionally gone bad is a reality in every business. Every management project has opponents who try to manipulate it for their own gain, and they are frequently successful.

This is often denied or hidden and PMOs need to learn how to deal with this.

In 2017, only 29% of software development projects were considered to be successful, meaning that these projects delivered on time, on budget, with a satisfactory result. 52% of the projects were listed with the qualification “challenged” and 19% failed completely (Standish Group Chaos Report 2017). With approximately $665 billion spent worldwide on IT projects alone, this means that $126 billion goes down the drain each year due to project failure.

People adjust the truth to suit themselves and thus serve their own interests: more power, more income, more respect. Based on one’s own interest, matters are portrayed in a better light and budgets are intentionally drawn up incorrectly.

All of this is done with the express aim of influencing decision-making.

Yet little attention has been paid to the art of undermining and manipulating projects. With more knowledge of the motivation and methods of project saboteurs, it could be combatted by the PMO. Which can in turn lead to large savings and better project results.

In this webinar Dion Kotteman provides an insight on the project saboteur and explores the tools necessary to manipulate a project successfully and professionally and how to counter all this.

Presenter: Dion Kotteman (LinkedIn profile) author of The Project Saboteur… And How To Kill Him, runs his own company, specialised in C -level and IT advice, and lectures at two universities. Dion was the Dutch central government’s CIO, held senior directors positions at several banks and is now a non-executive member of the board of an insurance company. He advises many companies and organisations like Deloitte, Dutch Railroads, City of Amsterdam, CGI and the Dutch Royal Airforce. He holds masters from the Wharton School of management (US) and Nyenrode University (NL).

1. Can you adopt sustainable project management practices while adding value? 
2. Can one Project Manager make a difference?
   

The answers are Yes!

Sustainable project practices are about more than “being green”.  Sustainability requires that we look beyond the scope, schedule, and budget of the temporary project and consider the larger “Triple Bottom Line” that projects operate within.

The triple bottom line evaluates performance in a broader perspective considering economic, ecological, and social impacts otherwise known as the 3Ps – Profit, Planet, People.

As the agents of change in organizations, Project Managers, are uniquely positioned to identify and lead the change that impacts your “Triple Bottom Line” while creating greater business value.

​Using today’s linear economic model we take finite resources, create products and then dispose of them.  This “take, make, dispose” linear model is no longer sustainable.

​Upon completion of this session, you will be able to:  

• Describe sustainability and the “Triple Bottom Line”.
• Compare the linear and circular economic models.
• Explain circularity to stakeholders.
• Analyze projects in the context of the circularity.

Learn how you as a Project Manager can shift towards the circular economy model where we “make, use, reuse, remake, and recycle”.
