GETTING BUY-IN FOR YOUR PROJECT AND CHANGE IDEAS

Whatever project you are involved in, your success relies on your ability to generate interest, enthusiasm and participation from people who are already busy with their own work. So how can you become a world leading persuader?

Melanie will deliver a whistle-stop tour through a range of “neuro-hacks” using how the brain prefers to work to help you generate the engagement of all your stakeholders, and ensure they willingly collaborate with you. She will give you a chance to practice a couple of them, and get you to think how you could apply them with your stakeholders.

Melanie will share practical ideas, and she has written a quick guide to influencing and persuading techniques that will be available to everyone at her presentation. She will also be available throughout the day for 20 minute one to one surgery sessions, so if you want one of these sought after spots, email her at melanie@agilechangemanagement.co.uk with a brief description of your challenge/idea you want to discuss.

How can the PMO deliver better outcomes for the business?

It is time for the PMO to expand its reach into the world of strategy definition and innovation and finally adopt a successful approach to benefit realization.

Join Ivan, CEO at edison365, as he offers insights into how PMO teams are perfectly placed to evolve and become true strategic enablers. He’ll also dive into how you can close the gap between your PMO and Innovation teams.

John Greenwood

Risk Management Associate, AECOM

Risk Management: More than Just a Risk Register

Risk management is becoming ever more important in the preparation, planning, and delivery of programs and projects, as clients demand greater certainty (or an understanding of the uncertainty) of delivery times and costs.

Tools and techniques used for risk management have progressed over the last decade or so, moving the practice of risk management on from the probability/impact diagrams of old, with the availability of cheap computing power capable of performing sophisticated analyses of delivery plans.

John will outline the three main objectives of risk management, and provide an overview of how the risk management processes support delivery of these objectives, and discuss their integration with the wider project controls disciplines.

Exploring Artificial intelligence in Project Management

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has potential to become a significant tool for project professionals when delivering projects, but what impact does it really have? This year, APM have launched not one, but two new complementary reports which explore the topic of AI in project management. Our session will provide insights on the benefits and limitations of AI for the project professional and will take a look at ‘defensible’ factors that cannot be fully replicated or substituted such as the principles and values of human project managers as revealed in our ‘Can AI learn to be a project professional?’ research, led by the University of Manchester. The session will also highlight how AI can support project planning and can enhance decision-making and problem-solving by exploring the findings from ‘AI in project management’, led by Southampton University.

Fabian Valente

Project Management Consultant, MatchWare

Mind Map your WBS to Project Success

This presentation will focus on how you can utilise mind mapping technology and techniques. Fabien will discuss the benefits of Mind Map theory and why it is useful in communication and planning.

Mind mapping is an effective method to use in requirements gathering sessions and the construction of the WBS (work breakdown structure). When mind mapping is coupled with technology it simplifies the process and enhances communication.

Mind mapping has traditionally been presented as a tool for planning and organisation, an effective way to develop, organise, and present multiple facets of the project plan. Primarily used for the construction of the WBS, advanced uses of this technique also simplify the complex process of communicating the project plan.

Fabien will explain the mind mapping theory and how that theory can be applied to business analysts and project managers. He will also demonstrate best practice techniques in mind mapping and how it relates to technology.

Change Management Institute

Embracing conflict – Why leaving the “elephant in the room” can be so damaging to change initiatives

Ever been in a meeting where a key decision needs to be made and despite reservations around the room everyone just agrees with the boss!

It’s more common a situation than you think and sadly it is the result of our fear and discomfort with our ability to handle confrontation.

In this session we will look at some of the outcomes when disagreement and dialogue are avoided. How that plays into change which doesn’t deliver value, often is stifled, protracted and at risk of failure. And what steps we can take to become more comfortable with points of potential friction between individuals and teams so that we can deliver change which is better supported, carries less risk and has a higher likelihood of being delivered and sustained.

House of PMO

Solving PMO Challenges with PMO Leadership

There are many challenges that today’s PMOs in organisations face – adopting multiple delivery frameworks such as Agile and DevOps; embedding good practice that gets real results such as resource management, benefits management and risk; supporting the improvement to delivery capability through an increase in maturity and development. There is the ongoing debate about how the PMO really impacts the success rates of portfolios, programmes and projects, the ‘adding value’ conversation. Each challenge, to have every chance of being overcome, relies on a strong, knowledgeable and skilled team, working together, and moving in the right direction.

Each team needs someone to provide that direction, the vision of how and what that PMO will be.

In this session, Eileen and Lindsay from the House of PMO give insights into PMO Leadership and share the latest Inside PMO Report focused on what leaders in PMO do to meet the challenges of their organisations today.

Case Studies & Expertise

Chris Henson, Head of Customer Success Representatives and Tom Davies, Senior Solutions Consultant, Cora Systems presenting at Project Challenge Expo September 2022

Combining PPM with SPM for end-to-end visibility

With the triple threat of supply chain disruption, global inflation and political instability, it’s more important than ever for enterprise organizations to know exactly where they are. When your supply chain is disrupted, and unfortunately, it’s ‘when’ rather than ‘if’, and parts or materials end up being delayed, all sorts of knock-on effects can mount and multiply.

Your costs go up, the project is delayed, and you get paid late. So, your working capital is depleted, and the figures you can use for forecasting and planning go down. So, your accounts suffer, because revenue recognition is deferred, and your ability to compete and plan for new business is hampered.

So more and more, businesses are relying on sophisticated software to centralize all their data and integrate the different processes they use. But it’s not enough to focus exclusively on the granular visibility you have to have into each individual project. You also need that 30,000-foot, bird’s-eye view into your portfolio. And to have the ability to experiment with scenario modelling, to better understand how best to deploy your resources and manage your capacity.

Chris Henson and Tom Davies, from Cora Systems, will explain the importance of being able to view your business through both a PPM and a SPM lens. So that whatever happens across your supply chain, you’ll be able to react promptly, and will already have prepared for it.

Vice President Strategic Solutions, Tempus Resource by ProSymmetry

Deploying Resource Portfolio Management to Drive Value Flow

The biggest challenge in delivering portfolios is managing the resource pipeline, so that value flow is optimised, and the enterprise is equipped to adapt to new challenges and opportunities at speed.

We may think Agile has cracked this particular nut but, in fact, 56 percent of projects fail to deliver the original goals and business intent fully – even in the Agile landscape (IPMA, 2020). Lean Portfolio Management (LPM) offers an intelligent approach to future-proofing the portfolio, by moving beyond individual team sprints, through release trains, and into the business of bringing “work to people” and “people to work”.

Mix in Adaptive Resource Planning, and you’ll start to change the game. In this session, Lloyd will demonstrate how the right approach to resource planning brings instant, enterprise-wide visibility across all resource interdependencies.

Join Lloyd to explore how a powerful mix of “what-if” scenario modelling capabilities can equip project managers, portfolio managers and PMOs to anticipate any resourcing scenario and make crucial commitments to sponsors with confidence. Lloyd will walk you through the techniques you need to get there – and demonstrate the value of Enterprise Resource Planning to the business, its people, and its customers.

This lively session will be delivered by Project Challenge Expo 2022’s Platinum Sponsor, Prosymmetry, a Gartner Cool Vendor and industry leader in resource management for hundreds of companies including multiple Fortune 5oo companies worldwide. ProSymmetry is the company behind Tempus Resource, the purpose-built Enterprise Resource Management solution offering unmatched resource planning value, powered by decades of industry experience, and constantly evolving to meet tomorrow’s resource planning challenges today.
