The New Normal in Project Management: It's All About the Benefits For many organizations traditional project management is dead. Measuring project success based solely on the triple constraints ignores what's most important about a project: the benefits and value the project should deliver.

LeRoy will provide his insight into the best ways organizations and project managers can, and should, work together to make it all happen.

The Project Management Odyssey Project Management is composed of many elements. So many, in fact, that it is hard at times to get the big picture. There are more than 100,000 books on Amazon under Project Management. There are three main certification bodies and the latest version of the US standard, PMI's PMBOK® Guide is composed of 5 process groups, 10 knowledge areas and 47 steps. The complexity needs to be simplified. For this presentation, we have gone back to one of the original stories by Homer - the Odyssey. Odysseus and his men were tired after 10 years of fighting and looking forward the journey home. This idea of a journey is at the heart of each and every project. A journey to somewhere else, another place. A beginning, a middle, and an end. We will use this journey to illustrate the correct way to approach any project. In doing so we hope to assist you in retaining the key ingredients for doing projects better in your equally challenging environment.

Dynamic Stakeholder Engagement Stakeholder engagement is one of the most important success criteria of any project or change initiative, yet it is often subsidiary to other processes or Participantd downward to managers and staff. Worse yet, it can be set up as a step-by-step, mechanical or uni-directional push communication process. Engaging stakeholders is a planned and highly adaptive organic process that seeks to touch each individual impacted by the change. Successful stakeholder engagement guides individuals to find and communicate their own motivation, embrace the change, and carry it forward. It is that dynamic that causes the change to happen and progress. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.
