#401 Opening General Session and Keynote Speaker: Rowan Gibson - "Winning in the Innovation Economy"
Innovation is now recognized globally as the core driver of growth, strategic renewal, and long-term business performance. In an age of disruption, it represents your company’s only real chance for creating new wealth and sustaining success. But innovation doesn’t come easily to most organizations because it challenges the existing ways of thinking and doing things. Innovation requires managers who can master the delicate balancing act between continuity and change.

In this inspiring keynote speech, globally recognized thought leader Rowan Gibson will look inside the mind of the innovator to reveal the four key mental perspectives you need to develop in today’s innovation economy:

1. CHALLENGING ORTHODOXIES – questioning deeply-held beliefs and conventional assumptions inside your company and your industry
2. HARNESSING TRENDS – using the power of discontinuous change to substantially alter the rules of the game and to drive industry disruption
3. LEVERAGING RESOURCES – repurposing and recombining core competencies and strategic assets in order to stretch into new growth opportunities
4. UNDERSTANDING NEEDS – learning to live inside the customer’s skin, identifying unmet needs and designing solutions from the customer backward

Based on his latest book “The 4 Lenses of Innovation: A Power Tool for Creative Thinking,” Rowan will show that by deliberately and systematically using these four proven perspectives, you and your organization can generate and manage breakthrough strategic opportunities for innovation and growth in the future.

#421 Engaging Stakeholders: Whose Job Is It Anyway?
We never hear about ‘outsourcing’ the human side of projects to a third party. Rather, they incorporate principles of leadership, team building, and stakeholder engagement into project management practices and standards. Good project management relies not just on managing requirements, but also on managing change and ever-evolving stakeholder needs. Crises come without notice. Are you equipped to get the good, the bad, and the ugly stakeholders to buy-in?


At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:
(1) demonstrate the skills necessary to address the myriad issues affecting stakeholder engagement and change adoption;
(2) identify tools and techniques for better stakeholder engagement as well as strategies for obtaining stakeholder buy-in.

This session is focused on presenting a programme governance framework, Contingent Governance Framework for Programs, which is adaptable to the context of the programme. In order to be effective, the governance frameworks have to adapt to the evolving programme context.

#505 Apply Your Strengths to Build Productive Teams
**This workshop includes 45 minutes of pre-work.  Space is limited - reserve your seat!

Decades of research have proven that when people are given the opportunity to do what they do best every day, the effect on the individual, team, and organizational performance is powerful. The problem is that most people aren’t able to accurately identify their own strengths and therefore can’t intentionally use them.

In this interactive workshop, you will learn more about the research behind a strengths-based approach to leadership and management.

Pre-work
In order to maximize the learning from this workshop, participants will need to complete a personal StrengthsFinder Assessment in advance of attending this workshop. Once completed, you will need to bring a copy of your assessment results to this workshop. Details regarding how to complete this assessment will be emailed to participants once your reservation to attend has been received.

Space is limited.


At the conclusion of this workshop, participants will be able to:
(1) identify how you use your innate talents and learn how to focus on your strengths in a weakness-based world;
(2) explain what you bring to a team and where to form complementary partnerships to be more effective.

The past few decades have seen businesses and their leaders become largely buzzword-driven.

#614 Closing General Session and Keynote Speaker: Inma Martinez - "Developing Creative Approaches to Artificial Intelligence in the Workplace in the Times of Accelerated Digitalisation"
According to Dell at the World Economic Forum in 2018, 85% of the jobs that will exist in 2030 still haven’t been invented. Technological advances in the 21st century have exponentially accelerated progress but also digitalised all aspects of life, work and play. With this new data, machine automation will create new horizons not only in how humans assume new tasks at work but also in which ones will be delegated to automated machines, to self-reliant software programmes that will run independently to human intervention. Which will be the new skills and approaches in this new world of human + machine co-operation?

Managing the daily challenges of a project to complete objectives and meet client expectations is a challenge regardless of project size and complexity. Dealing with changing, and seemingly unreasonable, demands and requirements of the client often tests the ability of the project manager and project team to remain focused on the project deliverables. Project managers and teams must develop skills and techniques that will assist them in maintaining an effective working relationship with their clients and recognize behavior or situations that may lead to potential conflict, dissatisfaction or strained working relationships with clients. This program focuses on the importance of establishing a collaborative environment, setting and managing expectations, and dealing with clients who create difficult working environments.
 
The program is designed for project managers, project leaders, and managers who have direct contact with demanding clients and must establish effective working relationships, obtain requirements, negotiate changes, and manage client interfaces effectively. It is a highly interactive and enjoyable session.
Course Description: Project Managers and Program managers encounter many issues in the pursuit of successful completion of objectives. Among the challenges is the possibility of working with stakeholders whose personalities and behaviors may create situations that are difficult to manage or cause significant conflict. In this seminar learn how to identify the characteristics and tactics of difficult stakeholders whether they are clients, suppliers, co-workers, or employees and develop strategies for creating a more productive work environment through emotional intelligence.

Click here to register for PMI SeminarsWorld in Berlin – space is limited!
 
Have you ever wondered why, no matter what you do, some projects, programs or strategic initiatives are out of control and hard to manage? You work hard to carefully manage, but the more you try to control the harder it gets? What you have is a problem managing the DANCE - Dynamic, Ambiguous, Non-linear, Complex and Emergent and unpredictable nature of some projects. This seminar will highlight the reality of today’s disruptive and complex project environment and challenge the existing beliefs of how we deal with it.
 
In today’s projects and programs of any size, there is a lot of uncertainty and it is challenging to identify the multitude of variables to be managed, let alone to anticipate how they might interact to create unexpected challenges. Managing these projects and strategic initiatives requires a new way of thinking and next generation agility. This seminar provides new lenses and different perspective to deal with today’s uncertain project environment.  You will learn how to assess complexity and uncertainty and apply unconventional techniques to deal with it. Apply timely leadership insights and practical ideas, and learn to dance on the edge of chaos.

Business coaching has evolved from fad to fundamental. Having the ability to “coach and develop others” is a necessary skill for all project managers. However, with so much to do and so little guidance, how do project managers successfully stretch and develop others while getting the work done?
 
Successful coaching is based on asking rather than telling, on challenging rather than giving directions and by holding a person accountable for results.
