All organizations that run large Programs for a living must assemble deep expertise in disciplines including scheduling, cost analysis, risk analysis, and earned value management.

Each requires appropriate tools and data and must collaborate with agility across the data supply chain, both within and across organizational boundaries, both for individual Programs and across portfolios of Programs. But it is all too common to end up with parallel worlds.

How can we unify these worlds in a way that enhances the work of each discipline and delivers more value to the organization?

Drawing on insights and terminology from systems theory, enterprise information architecture and data warehousing, software pattern languages, network theory, and engagements with NASA and other large, distributed organizations, this presentation takes a holistic look at the programmatics data supply chain.

Dan will ask questions such as:

• What are the typical pain points in data hand-offs across organization boundaries?
• Are we living in a world of mostly data “copies” rather than “originals” (i.e., from the ultimate system of record) run on applications mostly built to handle originals?
• Does siloed data for schedule, cost, risk, and earned value meet the 80/20 rule? Or the 20/80 rule?
• To what extent are the challenges in unifying data across programs and up and down data supply chains technical vs. organizational and cultural? Can we nudge behavior by making the “right” way the easy way?

Presenter: Dan Friedrich CEO/CTO of Friedrich, Klatt and Associates (FK&A), a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner in Data Analytics, and Microsoft’s Global Partner of the Year in 2007 for Enterprise Project Management for an Earned Value Data Mart solution. Dan is President of the Chicago Chapter of the Microsoft Project User Group (MPUG), and is a frequent presenter on MPUG’s international Lunch & Learn Webinar series, most recently a “trilogy” on Master Schedule Best Practices, and other industry events, including papers for the 2017 and 2018 NASA Cost and Schedule Symposiums.

These are the things Dan does by day, but by night he does comedy sketch writing, directing, and performing, and he is a graduate of the Second City Conservatory and Improv Olympic 🙂

Too often, we establish communications styles and processes that are “one size fits all”.

Nothing could be further from the truth. In dealing with management, steering committees and other critical project stakeholders, while the messages must be consistent, the approaches we use, the data we share, and the styles we deploy need to be adaptive in terms of the audiences addressed.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll get the opportunity to learn how to distill your message down to its core elements, create a common vision, and engage an audience quickly and effectively.

Presenter : Carl Pritchard (LinkedIn profile, @carlpritchard) Project Management Risk Guru & Presenter Extraordinaire Carl has written more that 70 articles on The Fundamentals of Project Management – Applying traditional project management in demanding environment. A bio and a large compilation of article experts by Carl Pritchard on Project Management topics is available on: http://www.projectconnections.com.
