We’re living in a project economy. This means that successful execution of projects is critical to organizations’ success.

While the number of projects in both the public and private sectors is skyrocketing, the failure rate for projects remains high. The reason: leaders have too many projects and too little visibility into them, and lack the competencies to successfully lead and implement projects.

The result?

Worthy projects are starved of time and resources and fail to deliver the intended benefits, while too much investment goes to the wrong projects.

To compete in today’s project economy, organizations must close this gap and develop leaders with the necessary project management competencies. Effective project management skills have become essential for all leaders.

In this live webinar , project management expert Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez will present a simple, intuitive framework to increase every project’s likelihood of success.

Using case studies from multiple industries and companies across the globe.

Antonio will show you how to:

• Choose from your organization’s inventory of projects which to pursue and which to kill.
• Prioritize your projects and ensure projects are completed as planned.
• Break any project into essential building blocks that are easily understood by all stakeholders.
• Create a roadmap for becoming an effective project leader and executive sponsor.

In today’s economy, effective project implementation is a key factor to achieving a company’s vision and differentiating a company from the competition.

Presenter: Antonio Nieto-Rodriquez, (LinkedIn profile), is an author, practitioner, and consultant who teaches strategy and project implementation to senior leaders. He founded Projects & Co, has authored three books on project management. His latest is the Harvard Business Review Project Management Handbook: How to Launch, Lead, and Sponsor Successful Projects.

One of the ongoing questions in the business analyst profession from those who manage business analysts to the business analysts themselves is “how do we measure business analysts?”

Since much of the success that business analysts achieve is based, in good part, on the work that others perform (as are the business analyst failures) it is difficult to carve out specific metrics that the business analyst (or the business analyst’s manager) can point to which support their claim to success or not.

But there may be some critical success factors in the profession that determine whether a business analyst is performing successfully, with excellence, or just adequately. Or worse…

This webinar discusses the problems of business analyst metrics and how business analysts are typically measured in terms of their overall success.
