I Just Need To Do What Each Programme Board Asks Me, Right?

Projects and programmes can (or maybe should?) be very focused seeing only their needs. How do we avoid possible inefficiency of parochialism to enable organisationally aligned, effective decision-making?

David Dunning‘s organisation may have processes for projects and programmes, with standards/tools we all use.  But people don’t always like processes and standards.

We have probably all heard these: “my project is different”, “…but I need this”, “So – do you want me to give you the update or manage my project?”. We have also heard: “you want me to deliver to customer or focus on your project?” and “our data model runs the business, not just your project” and “I can’t change the whole ERP system just for your reporting need!”

These are often defences from focused people trying to avoid doing something to comply because “you” aren’t important to “them”. PMOs can find themselves fighting losing battles to support/guide their customers because they can’t influence and don’t have authority out of their domains.

But unfortunately, the fact is – without good information, the roost is ruled by organisational bullies and politic-players. Worse still – inability to deliver effective support to enable working governance can be seen as fault for PMO professionals – even though it is often down to the multitude of programme boards pulling projects and the surrounding ecosystem in different directions. So how do we get out of this scenario?

The Business Integrated (P3M) Governance model lifts governance operation from just being an individual project concern to be a matter for the responsive organisation.

“What is it and how do I make the case for me?”  – David Dunning

Presenter:  David Dunning (LinkedIn profile) Founding Director Chase Management Services & Chair of Corporate Project Solutions; has also founded the Core P3M Data Club which is a voluntary, public domain initiative that has defined a core P3M data model to support Business Integrated (P3M) Governance.  David provides director level advice, guidance and critical friendship in portfolio, programme and project management, one aspect of which is working with PMO professionals on strategic/operational design of the combined “run” and “change” governance ecosystems.

Change Management & Sales

Live Webinar September 9th, 2021 – 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm EDT
Activity Type: Education – Course or Training  1 Hour  1 PDU
Provider: Human Capital Institute

Sales is a crucial test for organizational change, including productive use (or not) of new technologies and performance management practices.

Changes in sales always have wider organizational implications, because so many other decisions and resource commitments depend upon demand forecasts and sales’ ability to meet those forecasts.

Conversely, because the sales force faces pressures to “make the numbers” quarterly, changes in sales activities are risky, difficult, and necessary.

In this webinar,  Frank Cespedes (LinkedIn profile) will demonstrate how and why selling is changing in many markets, and how to separate hype from reality concerning the impact of new buying processes, e-commerce, big data, and other megatrends on people and process in business-development.

Take-aways include:

  • Understanding changing competency profiles for sales reps and leaders and how to improve sales hiring practices;
  • Firms already invest 20% more per capita on sales training and development than in any other function: how to improve ROI for these investments;
  • The implications of market changes for sales performance-management practices, including compensation, reviews, careers, and required HR – Sales interactions in these areas.

Companies are finding themselves navigating the “next normal” and strategizing how to accelerate business success in a post-pandemic world; while the workforce is like nothing we’ve seen before, and leaders are faced with new challenges that are both unique and complex.  Organizations must create a workplace that is positive, motivating, and consistent.

You can have the best, most efficient, and customer-friendly processes in the world, but they will fall apart if your team lacks motivation, is not engaged, or doesn’t work well together – the one thing that customers are certain to remember is their interaction with your employees.

In this webcast Erin Cox will reveal a proven method to create a consistent culture where employees feel empowered for meeting and exceeding customer expectations–creating a more profitable business.

Please join Erin for the opportunity to consider:

  • Three factors that create strong motivation in an individual
  • The right way to reward employees when they have done a great job
  • How to create a motivational climate
