Building a Professional Project Management Community How do you start building a PMO that is going to truly add value to an organisation and help it deliver even more successful projects? How can you build a project management community that collectively delivers? Through this presentation Peter Taylor will describe the foundations he has put in place at Kronos, a Workforce Management Solutions provider, to build a world-class project driven organisation. 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.

Project Management: The Intentional Profession 'To be is to do.' Project managers focus on the tools, techniques and effort it takes to 'do' well and deliver the change that mission demands. But we can also choose to 'do good,' and that is what providing our skills as pro bono services to our communities is all about. Like PMs, service-oriented Non-Profit Organizations struggle to deliver community services in a resource-constrained environment. PMs have mastered the skills needed to make things happen in these environments. With the 2015 Project Management Day of Service (PMDoS), two executives organized roughly 400 PMs to assist NPOs in defining and scoping nearly 100 projects - in one day! That is intent. That is engagement. That is meaningful project management. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

Personal Agility: Being Agile Starts with You The emphasis of agile has always been on the power of the team and the agility of the organization. However, we have skipped one important part: YOU as an individual! Being agile isn't about the processes or practices (we are just doing agile at that point) but about the shift needed in culture and mindset. The only way to change the culture is to take a human-centered approach by starting with ourselves first to understand our current beliefs and biases. During this session, participants will explore through a series of exercises how they currently embody the agile values and principles and where they struggle. Understand your own personal agility Understand the impact your agility has on how you operate within your teams and your organization Gain some new tools to support others in discovering their own personal agility and self-reflection

Behavioral Aspects of Leadership Leadership requires absolute trust of your team and others. The objective of this presentation is to demonstrate strategies for integrating behavior aspects of leadership into our current methodologies. PMPs are taught that project managers must balance management and leadership. Leadership is vital to success, but project managers rarely have time to even think about, let alone demonstrate it. Many project managers end up confused and frustrated by the challenges to improve leadership skills. This video demonstrates strategies for integrating behavioral aspects of leadership into our current methodologies. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

Just in Time Training for Frontline Supervisors and Managers: Making the Case One of my favorite quotes on this topic comes from Zig Ziglar: 'The only thing worse than training employees and losing them is not training them and keeping them.' The transition from employee to manager is one of the most challenging: new roles and responsibilities, new ways of looking at organizations, and new ways of relating to all others around them. Most new supervisors and managers will tell you later in their careers that they floundered, avoided conflict, weren't firm enough when they should have been, and came on too strong to compensate - in other words, trial and error. And yet, most organizations spend more on leadership training at the end of a person's career than investing in their early promotions. Does it really make good business sense to give less training to those who need it early while giving more to those who need it less, later in their careers?
