Strategy ExecutionAn Executive SeminarProject-driven organizations must be vigilant and mindful about the mix of projects they invest in at any given time. There are limited resources available as well as restricted sources of funding an organization is willing to invest in new/improved products, services, business process, and technologies. Due to organizational constraints, management must make the difficult decisions to select only certain projects for execution ¾ postponing or cancelling others. To achieve strategy through valuable projects, a decision framework must be in place. In the context of scarcity where choices must be made, portfolio management provides the rational decision framework that is needed. The purpose of this seminar is to ensure that the right project investment decisions are made in order to enable organizations to achieve their vision and remain competitive in the marketplace. Even after selecting the right portfolio investment path, the seminar discusses the role of management to maintain surveillance over the projects, making adjustments as project risk becomes too high, new opportunities arise, and change occurs in the business environment.
Crafting a Political Management Plan To Drive Strategic Communications Effective business analysts and project managers assess the political landscape including the environment, the stakeholders, the political risks, and project team personal capabilities to negotiate the politics within the organization. Once the political circumstances are understood, the creation of a political management plan serves as the basis for strategic communications to key project stakeholders that bring about the results you need to be successful.
