PMI-WI North Central Lunch: Turning Vision to Value (Tue. 10 Feb, 2015 9:15 am - 11:00 am)

PMI - WI North Central Lunch Meeting: Tuesday Feb 10th 2015

Turning Vision to Value

Join us on February 10th for lunch, check back for final venue details. 

About the topic:

Leaders define vision. A business turns vision into value. It still takes a team of executives, managers, project managers, and individual contributors to drive the projects that build the capabilities transforming businesses. Ergo, projects are the enablers for turning vision into value.
To achieve this an entire team of people must build value-driven organizations that are seasoned yet adaptive, structured yet agile, pragmatic yet innovative. It is not a simple feat. Four basic tenants allow you to do this:
  • Strategy to meet corporate goals drives all of your work.
  • Work cannot start until the people to complement the strategy are in place.
  • Processes need to fit the individual projects (not too lean, not to heavy, and sized for each project).
  • Technology is only a tool to improve efficiency—it is only a means to an end.
To start down this path you must:
  • Print and read your corporate strategy.
  • Map all projects to that strategy.
  • Focus on the top three corporate initiatives.
  • Build a laser focused plan.
These steps provide the core elements to help you build and lead a powerful organization that provides value, accelerates business growth, and is a strategic component of your company.
The Vision to Value keynote shows the importance of:
  • Defining the core businesses activities that support the corporate vision.
  • Building strategy maps to define each business units’ goals.
  • Assembling the right organization with the proper people.
  • Implementing the correct level of process to efficiently monitor and control progress

University of Portland Guest Lecture: Visualizing Project Leadership: A Project Manager’s Key to Success (Mon. 16 Feb, 2015 4:10 pm - 5:40 pm)

Visualizing Project Leadership: A Project Manager’s Key to Success

 

 

Can you visualize your projects—its risks, its goals, its issues, its assumptions, its mitigations, what helps it, and what hinders it? Doing so, would allow you to move, manage, and relate to each of those attributes. Further, it would provide a tool to get your team and stakeholders to help eliminate issues.

Project Prototyping is an education and facilitation technique that materializes these attributes and allows you to move them around the room or even off your project. Everyone in the presentation visualizes how to enhance, improve, mitigate, or eliminate these factors on a project. The technique illustrates communication and support issues, allowing you to engage everyone in evaluating new project strategies.

This presentation makes use of 15-20 people from the audience to create a Project Prototyping of current methodologies, teaches a few basic leadership skills, and then enlists the audience again to show how those skills a can be put into action. The result is an open conversation that surfaces concepts that are innovative, sometimes radical, to change the interrelationship of people, process, and the inanimate objects that constitute our project.
