The Program Management Improvement & Accountability Act (PMIAA) leverages project management fundamentals to transform the public sector's ability to deliver value to its customers. This session will cover the core areas of PMIAA that the US government has codified across standards, executive sponsorship, knowledge transfer, and career paths that has now become benchmark for governments globally. This effort is driving the US federal government's ability to deliver on key aspects of its management strategy, and it is also a first step towards transforming its capability to drive a focus on customer satisfaction, no different than industry, via reliable project and program delivery. As a catalyst for professionalizing and formalizing PM talent and overall capacity, this session will also include examples from around the globe of how the public sector is rising to meet these challenges. This session will cover the core areas of PMIAA that the US government has codified across standards, executive sponsorship, knowledge transfer, and career paths that has now become benchmark for governments globally. 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.

Innovation Project Management: Virtual In-House Training Companies need growth for survival. Companies cannot grow simply through cost reduction and reengineering efforts. This program describes the relationship that needs to be established between innovation, business strategy, and project management to turn a creative idea into a reality. We will explore the importance of identifying the components of an innovative culture, existing differences, challenges, and the new set of skills needed in innovation project management. Companies need growth for survival. Companies cannot grow simply through cost reduction and reengineering efforts. Innovation is needed and someone must manage these innovation projects. Over the past two decades, there has been a great deal of literature published on innovation and innovation management. Converting a creative idea into reality requires projects and some form of project management. Unfortunately, innovation projects, which are viewed as strategic projects, may not be able to be managed using the traditional project management philosophy we teach in our project management courses. There are different skill sets needed, different tools, and different life-cycle phases. Innovation varies from industry to industry and even companies within the same industry cannot come to an agreement on how innovation project management should work. This program describes the relationship that needs to be established between innovation, business strategy, and project management to turn a creative idea into a reality. We will explore the importance of identifying the components of an innovative culture, existing differences, challenges, and the new set of skills needed in innovation project management.
