Enabling Sustainability through Organizational Project Management

Sustainability has become a key parameter for organizations and this means that projects and operations have to be planned and implemented with this objective. At the project level it may be difficult to bring in sustainability initiatives because often times the scope of the project is already determined or it is contractual. To get a sustainability perspective one has to consider it beyond a project outcome and further this needs to be addressed by senior management. Therefore, an organizational level approach would be more appropriate. This is where the Organizational Project Management or OPM comes in. This approach would looks at outcomes not just at project but also at program level. It considers portfolio management to effectively implement the strategy of the organization. This webinar will explore the use of OPM for Sustainability. Examples / Case Studies will be presented.   Learning Outcomes: OPM What is Organizational Project Management?

Project HEADWAY: Managing Projects You Know Nothing About

The polite title for this webinar might be “managing projects when you are not the SME.” While that might be one challenge, and it is certainly real, a slightly different one is taking on projects where what is being delivered is not only not in your wheelhouse, but it isn’t even normally something on your ship. The reality of managing something outside of our skill set is more common than a lot of people might think, or even give credit for. More to the point, it isn’t necessarily a bad thing. In fact, there are circumstances where it can be a very good thing. Stepping up to manage a project that doesn’t align with your past skills and experience is one of the most interesting challenges that you can face. There are ways to do it well, mindsets that can make you more successful and approaches that will allow you to survive and thrive along the way. This webinar provides you with the guidance, the insight and the confidence to be able to take on new challenges in new subject areas, even ones you haven’t been exposed to before.
