Use Benefits Management To Keep Your Senior Managers
On A Leash, Walking To Heel & Even Jumping Through Hoops!

• Are you running a kennels for pet projects?
• How do you choose the right projects and check whether they actually worked?

Keeping your portfolio of projects organised and prioritised is difficult at the best of times, but if you have no common definition of success or means of comparison, how will you know whether or not a project should be funded?

If investment decisions are made based on who does the best ‘puppy dog eyes’ (or barks the loudest) how do you keep the pet projects out of your portfolio and concentrate on your most valuable initiatives?

Do you recognize the following challenges in your organisation?

• A lackadaisical ‘and then a miracle occurs attitude’
• The Goldilocks business case (one option too hot, one too cold and one just perfect!)
• The Pit Bull Terrier sponsor whose definition of success is that ‘the kit has been delivered!’
• Shiny New Toy Syndrome: someone saw the product at a trade show and thought it looked ‘sexy’.

If you answered ‘yes,’ to any of these, then benefits management is for you. It provides a logical, repeatable discipline: a means of organising a portfolio of work and prioritising the Crufts winners over the tatty mongrels.

The webinar will build on the content and worked example in the recently released APM Learning module on benefits management.

While it is not required reading, delegates may find it useful to familiarise themselves with the module before attending the webinar. APM Learning is available to individual members with Associate or higher grades.

This session will teach executives, project managers, lawyers, HR personnel, benefits managers, and others about the latest trends in pay equity laws on the state, national, and international levels.

These trends include:

1. The expansion of what is considered “comparable work,”
2. Legislative “safe harbors” (which incentivize employers to conduct proactive equal pay audits), and
3. Increased pay transparency laws, including pay data reporting regimes.

In this session Joanna Kim-Brunetti & Mark Dwyer , will take you through the nuts and bolts of conducting a pay equity audit—the analytical tool recommended by professionals across multiple industries for addressing compensation issues proactively.

They will discuss the most up-to-date evaluation and remediation methods, as well as pitfalls in the process to be wary of.

Joanna & Mark will also touch on the unique challenges and considerations that must be taken into account when it comes to utilizing software solutions in the pay equity audit process.

They will also discuss the unique challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, such as how furloughs, lay-offs, and rehires may impact the analyses.

Here’s What You’ll Learn:

1. Understand the pay equity movement as it is today, as well as where it is headed based on trends at the state, federal, and international levels.
2. Learn the fundamentals of a proactive pay equity compliance audit, including what analyses to include, and which pitfalls to avoid.
3. Know some of the ways in which the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the pay equity movement, as well as the many reasons why the pandemic has the potential to create unforeseen liabilities in businesses’ compensation structures.

Provider:  Modern Analyst

It might be easy for the business analyst to pass the challenges of business analytics, with all of the statistics, math, algorithms, programming in strange languages like R and Python off to the data analysts and data scientists but at the same time we may find that we are passing control of the business and of our careers to someone else.

Business analytics does not work, at least it won’t work successfully, without having some kind of business problem to solve.

Despite the mythology of data mining and data analysts coming up with magic associations and insights that no one ever saw before, it doesn’t really happen that way.

The data analysts and data scientists are brilliant at applying algorithms to massive amounts of data to produce results, but someone has to understand what the organization’s problems and issues are and form the questions that the data scientists and analysts are going to answer with data.

All of us know about business processes. Any business development starts with a process organization.

Before starting a new project, we also have clearly defined processes and a clear understanding of these processes.

We have these processes groups in each project. We need the system approach for the project execution.

Understanding Project Management processes in the context of the organization’s business processes is very important. It’ll help us apply various Project management methodologies, and their effective combination, as well as it gives the possibility of flexible management.

In this webinar Irina Kulikova will show a point of view, answering the following questions.

1. Which business processes are we have in the project?
