There are many definitions of what strategy is, many focus on competitive advantage, sustainable growth, superior performance, and organizational goals and objectives. Most conversations target how to define a winning strategy, but few spend little time discussing execution. This event is designed to bridge the gap between strategic leadership, those defining strategy, and execution professionals, those skilled and experienced in bringing big ideas to life.

Some Engineers and Project managers are comfortable promoting themselves and love social interaction, but most would rather do anything other than brag about themselves and spend time on any social media.

This practical and informative workshop will demonstrate how to use the world’s largest business network to powerfully represent yourself both passively if someone you meet looks at your profile and actively to gain attention from recruiters and employers and potential employees (they’re looking at you too!)

Avoiding the “too many projects” problem depends on a coherent portfolio management process for selecting and staffing projects. Whenever an organization initiates work requiring more money, staff, or other resources than are available, projects are a challenge to control and many inevitably fail. 

An effective process for managing project portfolios at the organization level helps to ensure that the mix of current projects remains within its realistic resource limits. 

This session will address why companies use ERP solutions – what are the typical use cases and types of implementations which are common. ERP can be a driver of change, digital transformation, optimization, can support back-office functions and is undergoing substantial technical transformation with adoption of cloud SaaS solutions. 

Given these use cases, we will discuss methods of implementation based on the scenario. Waterfall may suite some uses, agile for others, continuous build in others. We will review key project management structures such as a PMO, PMO as a Service, Portfolio management, best practice PMO capabilities and PM accelerators. We will address best practices roadmap and assessment approaches to define the implementation scope.
