This is a trailer of the 60 PDU leadership development [VIDEO] course entitle PM Next: New Project Management Competencies for the New Norm.
I'd like to start from the beginning to provide more information about and introduce you to each of the sessions of an important program we’ve been working diligently with our community members, corporate stakeholders and content experts to create… it’s called PM Next: New Project Management Competencies for the New Norm.
This is what started the whole thing --
When the pandemic arose around the world, most of our lives were turned upside down. Not just in how we lead our teams and manage our projects but how we live our lives. Never before has the collective world been locked down and so many economies shutdown. Even now, things aren’t the same. Many analysts said from the beginning that things will never go back to what they were. A few years later, it’s true.
After numerous discussions with our community members, stakeholders and corporate clients, my business partner, David Nour, and I hosted this 1 hour session. The response was so great, it birthed this program which continues to expand.
To save alot of reading, I’d like to share with you this session to watch… at least, you'll understand what started the whole thing and earn 1 PDU once you listen. Click Here to get access to this session 1.
You'll leave this session knowing:
1) what we're seeing project leaders struggle with most
2) what we're finding that works
3) the competencies that will be in demand
More importantly, you'll leave knowing the one thing you can do to get from now to next.
Plus, you'll earn 1 PDU Power Skill (formerly, Leadership).
I hope you listen to this session (and share it with your colleagues). More importantly, I hope it adds value.
Here's what a few of our community members have said about this session:
Excellent session! My key takeaways are:
PMs must learn to use storytelling thinking to guide the team without having all the answers. They must put the mind of the team at ease, reduce fear and make team productive. They must explain the why and how actions will impact the future. Focus on doing fewer things but doing those things extremely well. If you confuse, you loose. If you don't feel everything sooner or later you won't feel anything. Learn, Unlearn, Relearn. Align projects to changing needs of the organization. Speed and Agility. ~ Cynthia Slayton
Thanks for that session, it was valuable one. Can we have a detail sessions regarding both "HBDI" & "Digital Etiquette”. Most of our business sessions right now is conducted via zoom channel, so we have to learn more regarding "Digital Etiquette” technique. ~ Mohamed Nayle
Thanks! looking forward to learn more about Storytelling. ~ Elvira Garcia
Excited about the course material ahead - interesting to be addressing the current NEW scenarios facing all businesses, projects and Project Managers brought on by Covid19 and it's effects on productivity, relationships and the ensuing strategies to resolve the disruptions. Moving from defensive to offensive strategies through focused manoeuvring in this new environment is challenging and will speak to our collective creativity and resourcefulness. As usual, helpful to create this bank of knowledge, stories, anecdotes, and environment to help support, instruct and widen the body of practical information for us all. Why am I not surprised that you guys seem to have a good handle on useful material and the sharing thereof?! Thanks! And on we go…! ~ Karena Meyer
Like like like what David said - do not confuse BUSY'ness with productivity! We were in a furry of back-to-back meetings at the onset of WFH (Working From Home), leaving very little to no time to internalize our thoughts and doing 'actual works'. MS Teams & Zoom - fatigue through and through! And with people seemingly obsessed with that 'RED' icon signalizing the BUSY status, as if it's an honorary badge! Ended up, we just ploughed in more and more hours after the official work hours to do the 'actual works’. ~ Joyce Soh
