Second Harvest of Silicon Valley is fighting hunger by providing over 500,000 needy people per month in Silicon Valley through food recovery. Food rescue, also called food recovery, is the practice of collecting fresh, edible food that would have otherwise gone to waste from restaurants, grocers, and other food establishments, and distributing it to local social service agencies. Food rescue is extremely effective because it simultaneously gets food to those who need it most and reduces food waste, minimizing the amount of toxic emissions from food waste in landfills.

PM Insight-Foster City Virtual Meeting: Designing Project Management Around the Brain
PM Insight - Virtual Meeting:
Designing Project Management Around the Brain
Over the past 40 years tools and techniques have exponentially improved, aiming at efficiency and productivity. Yet, the percentage of projects failing to deliver their expected value has remained high. Leading organizations such as Gartner, CIO, PMI, Harvard Business Review, Forrester, and Standish Group, continue to cite the critical gap: lack and misalignment of essential "skills" in project management.
In this presentation, Bill will share how incorporating neuroscience with our learned tools and techniques results in teams aligned to purpose, reducing the physical and mental errors in project delivery, the major cause of project failures, and value-delivered disappointments.
Takeaways:
- Explore the cognitive behavioral impact on modern project management tools and techniques, and how cognitive biases, decision-making processes, and motivational theories influence the effectiveness of project management methodologies.
- Understanding of key cognitive behavior concepts and their relevance to project and program management
- Insights into how cognitive biases and decision-making processes affect team dynamics, tool selection, and project execution
- Strategies to apply cognitive behavior principles to improve the use of current management tools and techniques, enhancing both individual and team performance
