Real-World Project Management Webinar Series

Projects are one of the key areas of a business where risk management is essential to satisfy both internal and external stakeholders. However, it is one of the project management tools that is the least well understood or applied, meaning that it can be seen as a waste of resources without adding any value in the process. 

It is, therefore, quite often paid lip service to, and ends up with an unhelpful, boring review of a bad risk register. 

When risk management is carefully planned, it can make a real difference and add value to the project.  This starts from the top (management) with real commitment, from the initial stages of the project, continuing across the project (at all levels) and throughout the project life cycle.

We must consider how to be realistic about what projects are trying to achieve and the real commitment needed to making risk management work – at the same time recognising some of the contractual pressures that teams face, that are not usually faced by operational activities within an organisation.

In this webinar Kate & Sarah will explore the gaps often seen in project risk management, and how to ensure tools are applied through:

• Real commitment
• Real planning
• Real risks
• Real controls

Diversity and Inclusion have become the hallmarks of innovative and progressive organizations.

Some think that diversity is the “business of the HR Department” and that there is little we can do at the project or team level to cultivate it.

This webinar will explore what Diversity and Inclusion really means and how we can develop our own as well as our team’s culture of Diversity and Inclusion.

The 2007-08 economic downfall led organizations to cut learning/training budgets – a move that seemed ideal when organizations were so doubtful about the future.

And boy, were they wrong!

After that time, organizations worked to recover financially and once again become equipped to invest in training, which means they could correct their mistakes and catch up after years of poor engagement and suffering retention.

Taking a strategic look at changing expectations of work, employees say they fear not having the training and skills necessary for good paying jobs, and 91% of employees say career development will keep them with a company.

Likewise, leaders say the majority of their people will need re-skilling and upskilling for future success. The solution includes more investment in learning, because the demand is here, from recruiting, engagement and retention.

The investment should spread across people and technology and while the breakdown is hard to figure out, organizations must make it a priority, and once again strive to repair potential lost engagement and employee loyalty.

With the emerging, even threatening, possibility of challenging economic times (and other potential curveballs) during the uncertain era of COVID-19, let’s get it right this time. The invaluable lessons learned during the last economic downfall set today’s organizations up for commitment to learning and development, even during what may become some of the most difficult economic struggles.

Join John Whitaker (LinkedIn profile) SHRM-SCP, ATM, STA SVP Chief People Officer to learn:

• How to prepare for unseen costs embedded in the loss of employee learning
• The impact of those costs on an organization’s future leadership
• How to strategically and proactively get ahead of the game
• How to fix mistakes and make learning count for the future
