Real World Project Management Series

This ever changing and evolving world continues to present managers and leaders with challenges.

It has become increasingly difficult to make sense of situations and circumstances, reading and understanding the ramifications and consequences that result from these seems to be harder than ever.

In short, we need to recognise that we now operate, manage and work in a highly complex environment where making the wrong call, can be costly for the organisation and not just in a financial context.

The effect on workplace morale, performance and productivity are also subject to the impacts of rapid, dynamic and mercurial reframing, reforming and the revolutionary aspects of change.

This webinar will seek to offer and equip the individual with a managers toolkit that can help steer a course through this maelstrom of what often looks like chaos without reason.

Presenter: Chris Gallagher (LinkedIn profile) Founder & Managing Director of CGA, is the founder and MD of CGA, a Procurement Portfolio Consultancy. In addition to consultancy the organization offers; Learning & Development programmes; International Development work; Strategic Planning Services and General Business Development Interventions, encompassing all aspects of Management, Leadership and Business Management.

Serverless functions are becoming a bigger part of microservices applications in today’s modern software architectures, helping organizations gain flexibility and substantially cut compute costs.

But are those applications performing well to deliver business value? It’s hard to know, because nothing about serverless fits the model of how application performance monitoring works.

Today’s tools don’t work well in the serverless world, when a function executes and is gone before its performance can even be observed. Tracing stateless requests with no runtime is extremely difficult.

IT organizations understand the benefits of serverless, but they are scared to manage it. Moderated by SD Times Editor-in-Chief David Rubinstein (LinkedIn profile), join Chris Farrell, (LinkedIn profile) technical director & APM strategist at Instana and Drew Flowers, (LinkedIn profile) Solution Architect at Instana, as they dive into the challenges of monitoring serverless functions and talk about ways to gain production-level visibility into these applications.

Due to COVID-19 crisis, remote working has been forced upon many employers and employees.

Many people in the workforce are unprepared and ill-equipped for the transition to remote working, not just their technologies and workspaces and childcare, but also how this changes their day-to-day work – and how they may need to change their behavior and acquire new skills to adapt successfully to remote working.

Mass remote working is likely to continue for months, and increased use of remote working will likely become a ‘new normal’ for a significant percentage of the global workforce.

Employees work differently when they work remotely, making the support they require different, too.

Additionally, as we enter an economic downturn, many employers are likely to minimize hiring and focus on engaging and optimizing their existing workforce. It will be up to organizations to ensure their current workforce can successfully transition to remote work.

Organizations will need to take their employees from the initial feelings of shock at the abruptness of the change in their work environment through to the point to which employees feel enabled in their new environments and even further still to the point where they feel comfortable in the possibility of sustaining this new working style longer term.

Join  Ken Lahti (LinkedIn profile) Vice President, Product Development & Innovation SHL Group and Sara Gutierrez (Linkedin profile) SHL, who will discuss the dynamics of this new world and the skills and behaviors necessary to succeed in it.

The webinar will present a content model of successful remote working based on recent scientific literature and delve into the assessment architecture underpinning the RemoteWorkQ.

What you can expect to learn: 

• Participants will be able to define the core competencies required for successful remote work.
• Participants will be able to identify the four phases of adaptation to our ‘new normal’.
• Participants will be able to describe the universal competency model and how it can be applied within the world of work.
• Participants will be able to assess the potential ROI the RWQ may bring to their organization.

1. Are your projects plagued by problems such as unresponsive business stakeholders, unclear expectations, pointing fingers, missed deadlines?
2. Do project critical business decisions seem to take forever?

These common issues can cause high stress and frustration, repeated mistakes, wasted time, and rework.

• Do your stakeholders then wonder why “IT didn’t get it right”?

Business stakeholders sometimes see IT work as the “black box,” the unknown. Coupled with their own work demands, there can be a tendency to hang back and think “IT will make it happen.”

In this webinar, we will cover ways to increase the level of business engagement and ownership on your projects.

Key Webinar Objectives:

• Learn how to proactively design more successful outcomes while building credibility and enhancing relationships with your business community.
• Gain tips on how to educate them about working with IT teams in partnership to create a more positive overall project experience.
• Improve project success through proactively educating business stakeholders on how to work effectively with IT.
• Enhance your relationship and credibility with stakeholders for immediate and longer-term project success.
