Project implementation is required to reach the desired outcomes in business. There, advancement in right direction with effectively managing the scarce resource optimization is always critical and most needed.

You develop a WBS, apply project management systems, particularly EVM and then settle down with project monitoring and control processes to reach the end result – but is that enough? No, not at all.

Every system, process and methodology is put to use with the will of a team member and the level of connectivity with the task that is the “point” for taking timely action.

Your focus is required on managing the human resource, particularly connecting the team members with purpose and the objectives of the project.

Additionally, you focus on how to help satisfy each team member’s personal value.

There the human factors are of prime importance for high engagement and meaningfulness in work.

Learn how to accomplish this, as well as:

1. The effective approach for connectivity of team members
2. Why aligning the personal value is important with that of a project
3. Why dealing with negative emotions is important
4. How to maintain the connectivity

Workplace change has never been at a higher rate or faster pace than now. PMOs, leaders and their teams grapple with multiple disruptions, from mergers and acquisitions to restructuring, pandemics, and digital transformations.

In today’s dynamic environment, being successful in change is not about being perfect; it’s about being fast and effective so you can move on to the next task or issue—the speed of execution matters.

Adopting one 80/20 action to address common project challenges is the best strategy. It gives you 80 percent of the results in 20 percent of the time.

In this upbeat and interactive session, we will discuss how you can apply the 80/20 rule to focus in on one action to navigate the tasks and common situations that Project Managers typically encounter during a transformation project.

During this webinar, participants will:

• Build awareness of how the 80/20 rule enables change management
• Review examples of how PMs can use the 80/20 approach to manage themselves, manage their work and manage others
• Identify change tasks and challenges where the 80/20 rule could apply

Bad projects abound, and research by Project Management Institute and others has provided useful insight into the underlying causes of bad projects.

In this webinar Michael looks beyond why projects go bad and explores why bad projects are so hard to kill.

Michael explains how sunk costs, groupthink, escalation of commitment, and conflicts of interest contribute to keeping death-march projects needlessly alive.

Each of these behaviors is defined and illustrated using project stories from history (the sinking of the Titanic and the Concorde jetliner), project stories from the presenter’s own personal experience climbing some of the world’s tallest mountains (Denali, Aconcagua, and Kilimanjaro), and project stories from business (Abilene Paradox and industry-funded soda studies).

Some recently published research about the neural science underlying these behaviors is referenced and the impact of these behaviors is described and then linked to the undercutting of ethics, trust, leadership, and project success.

Walk away with a list of actions that you can take to help avoid being victimized by bad projects.

Presenter: Michael O’Brochta (LinkedIn profile) ACP, PMP  MPM is the author of How To Get Executives To Act For Project Success: Building A Strong Mutual Partnership and has managed hundreds of projects as President of Zozer Inc where Michael helps organizations raise their level of project management performance. As senior project manager at the Central Intelligence Agency, he led the project management and systems engineering training and certification program to mature practices agency-wide.  Since Michael’s recent climb of another of the world’s seven summits, he has been exploring the relationship between project management and mountain climbing

Meetings are a necessary part of every project manager’s (and agilists’) day. However, as important as these events are (yes, meetings are events!), they are frequently poorly run and leave both meeting leaders and attendees dissatisfied.

This can be detrimental to the project because of inherent miscommunication or non-communication, to say nothing of the reputation of the project leader. In this session, attendees will learn the fundamentals of good meeting management starting with having a good agenda to being “large and in charge” to dealing with meeting goblins – those nasty personalities that sometimes emerge during meetings.

The increasing role of AI in meeting facilitation will also be discussed.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the importance of planning for your meetings and your projects – and how this impacts your project team
• Recognize and deal with disruptive meeting behavior and gain tips on how to prevent others from hijacking your meeting.
• Differentiate online meeting facilitation skills from those needed for face-to-face meetings
• Identify ways in which AI can be (and has already been) made part of meeting facilitation
