The foundation of all effective feedback is this:

The intent to improve performance.

Without this intention behind it, feedback can fall flat, becoming a missed opportunity for both growth and connection. Transformative change cannot happen without feedback, so it is important to create the conditions where the receiver can take it in, reflect on it, and learn from it.

In this interactive webinar,  Christa will explore:

• Key components of high-impact feedback
• The critical connection between feedback and employee engagement
• A neuroscience perspective on feedback
• Emotions as the gatekeepers to rational thought
• Concrete ways to de-escalate emotion and refocus a feedback conversation

Technology markets are not static and orderly. Understanding the market and buyer dynamics that drive the need for your products and services is critical for go-to-market success.

Before developing positioning or creating stories that drive sales enablement and external demand, a product marketer must be armed with a wide range of information about the factors that drive buying behavior.

But marketing and sales teams are often immature in identifying, communicating, and tracking customer value.

When executed correctly, technology providers have increased close rates by 70% and expanded business by 5 times.

In this webinar, David Yockelson (Linkedin profile, Gartner bio) Gartner VP Analyst will discuss how to create a value management discipline in your organization that will enable both your buyers and your sellers about the value and business outcomes associated with your offerings.

Discussion Topics:

• Understand why, when, and how buyers need to hear about your product or service value
• Learn how to incorporate value management and value realization throughout the buying process
• Assess technologies and applications that can automate and help scale value-related work

Organizations expect more from their managers than ever before.

Managers must not only learn to manage hybrid teams with new employee expectations and demands, but they do so amid economic uncertainty, high attrition, and a rapid pace of change.

Most organizations try to support managers by providing better development programs, new tools and technologies to boost productivity, and more robust well-being programs.

Despite these considerable investments, 50% of employees are not confident in their manager’s ability to lead their team to success in the next two years.

HR leaders must recognize that the work environment has fundamentally changed and that they must redefine the role of the manager.

Join Brent Cassell (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner VP Advisory  to learn how the best organizations enable managers to lead successful teams in an environment of rapidly evolving employee and business expectations.

Discussion Topics:

• Determine the impacts of the post-pandemic work environment on the manager’s role
• Build the right training programs for management skills in a hybrid work environment
• Remove process barriers that make it harder for managers to do their jobs

Underperformance is a common threat to megaproject managers and the track record of cost and time overruns in these projects is well documented.

While front end planning is important, not all events and scenarios can be foreseen when the project can take several years to complete and may involve many companies and stakeholders.

In our research we find that the capacity to adapt to this uncertainty during the life of the project is crucial for megaproject performance but it is often overlooked as a capability. Using a case study of the construction of a US$20 billion dollar project we show that project leaders play an important role in recognizing when a plan needs to change and then navigating the path onto a new project plan without disrupting the delivery of the project.
