Presentation:
Working Effectively with Project Sponsors
Summary:
The success of projects depends on how well project sponsors perform their role and responsibilities. This talk will explore the challenges of working with sponsors, review roles and responsibilities, examine ways to manage problematic sponsors and review how to improve work relationships with sponsors.
Topic Details:
The success of projects depends on how well project sponsors perform their role and responsibilities in working with project managers and on how well project managers learn to manage sponsors effectively. Many sponsors don't know what they are suppose to be doing on projects, thus they tend to be AWOL (absent without leave). You will learn what effective versus ineffective project sponsors do, how to manage five different types of problematic type sponsors, and hear practical suggestions for improving work relationships with sponsors.

Bonus:
Short Presentation - The ABC's of Project Management presented by Chris Elliot
Summary:
Just as some project teams are stimulated to achieve great success throughout all project efforts and assignments, other project teams may remain uninspired and shuffle unpretentiously toward project completion
Topic Details:
Just as some project teams are stimulated to achieve great success throughout all project efforts and assignments, other project teams may remain uninspired and shuffle unpretentiously toward project completion. From this example, there are two opposing questions that have often been raised when reviewing drivers and motivators of individual and team performance. These questions are "Can a project manager motivate others to perform?" or is it more accurate to ask "How does the project manager create an environment conducive to outstanding team synergy and peak individual performance?". This presentation will focus on the answer to these questions while providing a solid foundation to become familiar with existing motivational theories. The advantages and disadvantages of employing these major motivational approaches will be explored to encourage peak project performance and personal initiative to successfully achieve project goals.

"Is Your Schedule Correct? Common Scheduling Mistakes and How to Avoid Them"
Speaker Presentation Files (PDF):
Summary:
The presentation will discuss the top 10 common scheduling mistakes and how they can be avoided by those new to scheduling as well as those who are skilled at scheduling. Unfortunately, many people don't understand scheduling concepts and therefore utilize incorrect techniques in preparing schedules. This talk will present the mistakes people make when preparing schedules, and the correct techniques that should be utilized. This talk will also present a recommended procedure to follow to prepare an accurate schedule.
Topic Details:
Project Managers typically know how to use a scheduling tool such as Microsoft Project, either from a training course, mentoring from colleagues or self-learning. Unfortunately, many people do not understand basic scheduling concepts and therefore utilize incorrect techniques in preparing and maintaining their schedules. The presenter has served as a project management consultant to many companies over the years, and in this role has reviewed and critiqued many project schedules. Most of the schedules reviewed contained problems and errors that greatly reduced the schedule accuracy and value. Based on these reviews, this talk will present the 'Dave Letterman' top ten list of mistakes people make when preparing and maintaining project schedules. The presenter will show how these mistakes can make a schedule very misleading and incorrect.
This presentation will also discuss the correct techniques that should be utilized to avoid these scheduling mistakes. This talk will also present a recommended procedure to follow for preparing and updating any project schedule to help ensure your project schedule is both accurate and complete. This talk should be of interest to people just learning how to schedule, and for people who currently prepare schedules and want pointers on how to create more effective schedules. If you think you're a skilled scheduler, come to this session to see if you are making any of these common errors. You may be surprised!
