NOTES FROM THE CALL:
What is Peace? Why should we concern ourselves with it? There's nothing I personally can do to make an impact on Peace...is there? This year marks the 10th year anniversary of the tragedy that took place on 9/11/2001. We here in the Unites States bonded together as a common family with a common resolve in reaction to these horrific events. Although this bond was powerful, it was temporary and most of us went back to taking many things for granted. Every year, 9/21/2011 is recognized as the "International Day of Peace." This presentation will contain “interactive” discussion, “real life” stories and “eye opening” examples to answer the question, "Can Project Managers Really Have an Impact on Peace?" Attend this presentation and you will receive practical insights, tools and techniques utilizing project management interpersonal skills and going beyond to create more peaceful work environments, communities and contribute to a higher level of peace in the world.

NOTES FROM THE CALL:
What are the trends and issues impacting project management around the globe? The Project Management Institute’s Pulse of the Profession report looks at the macro environmental and business factors that are changing the project management landscape. The report links these factors to specific trends in enterprise project management practices and the development of project management practitioners. Pulse of the Profession draws from a number of sources to paint a timely picture of the project management profession. The heart of the report comes from PMI’s own Pulse of the Profession Survey, which is based on feedback from over 1,100 practitioners from around the globe. The survey explores trends in the practice of project management and how those practices correlate to project success or failure.

Since joining PMI in 2003 Jason has led extensive research in the global project management arena; including studies on the projected growth of the profession, the psychological characteristics of project managers, organizational project management maturity and sustainability in project management. His recent studies have focused on project management practices within government bodies and the practice of project portfolio management in large and mid-size organizations. His research has been published in the International Journal of Project Management and cited in The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg/Business Week Online and CIO Magazine.

Free ConfCall 5/12 "The Remarkably Ordinary Leader" (PM Job Shop)

Topic: The Remarkably Ordinary Leader

When: Thursday, May 12, 2011 at 9 PM (Eastern Standard US) (GMT-5)

Presented by: Jim De Piante, PMP Executive Project Manager


====================================

Jim De Piante joined IBM after 5 years as a Navy flight crewman and after attending and graduating summa cum laude from the University of Florida. Jim is an Executive Project manager who holds IBM’s highest certification. He has managed development projects for the IBM Product Divisions, IBM Global Services, IBM Research and ibm.com.

====================================

NOTES FROM THE CALL:
We have all seen presentations on leadership that feature “The Great Leaders” from history.Inspiring? Perhaps. Meaningful in my life as a project manager? Not really. It's hard for me to relate. I am just an ordinary guy – a remarkably ordinary guy. While I can admire these truly great leaders, I must also concede that I have lesser ambitions. I do not want to change the world. I just want to deliver full scope, on time and within budget. Our success as project managers depends entirely on our ability to lead our project teams in ordinary things – remarkably ordinary things. We do not have to tell our teams that they can only expect “...blood, toil, tears and sweat.” But we might need to tell them that they can expect to work on the weekend. We do not have to challenge our teams to commit to, “...landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth.” But we might need to ask them to commit to complete assigned tasks on time.In this session, we will talk about leadership in practical terms, terms that you will be able to relate to, terms that will not only inspire you, but that will move you to action. We will talk about how remarkably ordinary people can improve their effectiveness as leaders and thus as project managers. We will talk about simple and concrete steps that you can take to achieve a certain excellence as a leader.

NOTES FROM THE CALL:
When it comes to developing a WBS, most project managers either swear by the technique ... or swear at it. The latter response is usually caused by the vast amounts of incorrect, misleading, and inaccurate information about work breakdown structures. In this presentation, Bill Duncan, will explain why much of what you think you know about WBSs may be wrong, and will then set the record straight:
-- The ""right"" definition of a WBS
-- Why the USDoD approach doesn't fit most projects
-- How to select the first level of your WBS
-- Working with your team to develop a WBS
-- The role of a WBS in rolling wave planning
-- Do so-called ""agile"" software projects need a WBS or not?

PRESENTERS BIO:
William R. Duncan is recognized as one of the world's leading experts on the theory and practice of project management. His training programs are learner-centered to ensure the development of useful skills. His consulting practice emphasizes doable recommendations for real benefits.

NOTES FROM THE CALL:
Powerful teams are built on authenticity and the willingness to listen and be open. A major principle of powerful teams is that they must be a functioning with high integrity. This means that they are not settling for less than what they know they deserve in team relationships. Every person on the team asks for what they want and need from others. Each person speaking their truth, even though it might create conflict or tension. And they behave in ways that are in harmony with their personal values. All decisions and choices are made only after full and complete conversation, and they are made with the knowledge that the best decision has been made for moving forward.

You are craving this kind of teamwork! Working with the kind of team that works together to create a unified, creative group that moves forward “as if they are one entity, connected in trust, common purpose, and results”. Rarely do we find that type of culture, but I’m willing to take on the challenge to change that – how about you?

Here’s what you are going to learn on this revealing and sizzling hot call:
• Discover the one thing that creates the foundation for teams to create phenomenal results.
• The exact strategies necessary for Building Powerful Teams.
• How to make it easy and FUN to be a leader on any team in which you participate.
• The BIG secret to becoming “we” instead of “me”
• And much more…
