The Power of Vision in the Digital Age What's the secret behind running a successful project? Everyone is looking for the magic bullet, the secret sauce, or the universal solution. It's not just a matter of having the right people on the project, it's also knowing what the vision is and what the purpose behind the vision is. But there is more to it. And what are the challenges and opportunities with running a successful project in the digital age? During this session, we elaborate on this and give you some tips to apply this to your project environment as well. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs. Some titles, such as Agile-related topics may qualify for other continuing education credits such as SEUs, or CEUs. Each professional development activity yields one PDU for one hour spent engaged in the activity. Some limitations apply and can be found in the Ways to Earn PDUs section that discusses PDU activities and associated policies. Fractions of PDUs may also be reported. The smallest increment of a PDU that can be reported is 0.25. This means that if you spent 15 minutes participating in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.25 PDU. If you spend 30 minutes in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.50 PDU.
