Data and analytics leaders recognize there is an inherent need for data-driven business decision making, but linking this demand to specific business benefits and outcomes can be difficult, deterring stakeholder buy-in and support.

According to respondents from the Gartner 2023 CDAO Agenda Survey, only a third of data and analytics functions are effective at showing demonstrable value to their stakeholders (35%) or promoting a data-driven decision style (31%), and only one in four achieved objectives for data monetization (24%).

This makes it challenging enough to successfully define a business case that will achieve executive approval, even without hiding behind vague statements about “better decision making.” CDAOs must provide strong leadership for selling the value of data and analytics to their stakeholders.

In this webinar Alan D. Duncan (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner VP Analyst reveals the six steps data and analytics leaders must take to obtain buy-in from their stakeholders.

Discussion Topics:

• Set a strong vision for the desired end state and business outcomes that stakeholders care about
• Overcome inhibitors preventing progress on data and analytics initiatives
• Take immediate actions that build momentum for the business domains

The best project managers know that managing the expectations, goals and objectives of key stakeholders is critical to project success.

If the stakeholders aren’t satisfied, even the most efficient and well-executed project won’t be deemed successful in the eyes of those that matter most.

The best way to ensure stakeholder needs are met is to establish them up front, along with clear and mutually agreed upon communication and project completion requirements.

By considering stakeholder perceptions while developing the project charter and project plan, you can avoid unnecessary readjustments during project execution.

Bonnie will review:

• How to initiate projects that help your organization achieve its goals
• How to develop a project charter and a project management plan
• How to identify and analyze project stakeholders and determine their information needs and communication requirements
• How to manage stakeholder expectations and ensure their satisfaction

Over the past several years, there has been a dramatic change in when, where, and how we work.

What hasn’t changed is the need for people to work together to achieve shared goals and the need for organizations to get things done through the power of teams.

1. What behaviors derail productivity and fracture trust?
2. What actions foster accountability and drive connection?

Christa will explore:

• A globally validated framework designed to challenge teams to rethink their approach when working together.
• A high-level overview of The Five Behaviors^® model and how it can work for you
• Insights that you can apply to your own teams and organization

The Five Behaviors^® model takes the form of a pyramid, with each behavior serving as a foundation for the next: building trust, generating productive conflict, achieving commitment, embracing accountability, and focusing on results.

Building trust and credibility as a project manager with colleagues, management, and clients takes time, commitment, and consistency.

It means connecting and building meaningful relationships that over time reveal character, values, and trustworthiness.

This can be especially difficult while juggling multiple projects, sharing resources, and managing toward tight deadlines.

Though it won’t happen overnight, there are some steps you can take to help make a great first impression and get you started on the right path in those relationships.

Incorporating trust-building habits and making them second nature will help you build a reputation of integrity and rock-solid dependability over time.

In this webinar Marie will discuss techniques to help you:

• Make the right first impression.
• Build on that first impression to grow credibility over time.
• Address and repair when trust is broken.
