Fire and Ice! How Agile and Traditional Practices Can Coexist and Complement Each Other
Presented by Benoit De Grace, PMP, Senior Trainer and Consultant, Corporate Education Group
The rise in popularity of Agile methods during the last decade has been both a benefit and a challenge for project and portfolio management teams. While Agile methods have proven to increase and accelerate value to organizations by delivering faster and better results when applied to the right projects and in the right way, many organizations still struggle to figure out what to do with these new approaches for managing projects. When this happens, Agile methods can become an obstacle and hindrance to benefits realization. By breaking down the methodologies into smaller components, we will explore how the ingredients of traditional and Agile can be blended more easily, doing away with dogmatic approaches.
You will learn:
·
How Agile is
different but also similar to traditional methods
·
How Agile
techniques can complement more traditional approaches
·
What other companies are doing to
improve how they manage work this way.

Leading Multicultural Teams: Developing Your Cultural Intelligence
Presented by Marie Bankuti, PCC, CPCC, PMP, Senior Trainer and Consultant at Corporate Education Group
Are you managing a team of individuals from different countries, or different cultural backgrounds? While research shows that diversity on a team is highly beneficial to creativity, effectiveness, and bringing out the best in each team member, if you aren't comfortable working with and managing the various approaches, it can feel like you're working in a foreign land yourself.
Cultural nuances around directness, formality,
assertiveness, body language, and the like can lead to false assumptions about
motivation and engagement, often resulting in decisions that further alienate.
Performance can suffer, both individually and as a team.
In this interactive session you'll:
·
Gain insight into different cultural norms and values in
business.
·
Develop confidence working with and leading folks from
different cultures.
·
Understand how to assess, appreciate, and leverage cultural
differences.
·
Support your team members and their interactions with less
struggle.
