Negotiating for Project Success: Are You Prepared?
The results delivered by projects depend upon what you negotiate. A “secret” employed by successful project leaders is that they explore a perspective, principles, tools, and recommendations to achieve better results through the power of negotiations. They avoid being set up for failure by recognizing and developing skills that lead to greater success. Negotiating is fun, and it is productive. Everything is negotiable, both at work and in everyday lives. It is in our best interests, and for your team and organization, that you embrace negotiating as a requisite skill…and implement it dutifully.
Every day involves negotiations: what to buy, how much to pay, where to go, what to do, how to solve problems, agree on requirements, get the right resources, …. Are you fully equipped to get the best outcomes possible? What if you could improve your negotiating abilities by at least ten percent? Take the time now to learn ten basic “rules,” develop negotiating skills, and reap the benefits. Imagine how much better off you’ll be over the course of your lifetime when you negotiate clear success criteria and set yourself up for success instead of failure. This effort will change your life.

A required course in the
Certificate Program in Project Management. An elective in the Certificate
Programs in Business Analyst and Web Intelligence.
This course is for those involved in projects, including project managers,
project team members, and functional managers who interface with project teams.
The success of projects is dependent not only upon the project management
process itself, but also upon the people in the process and how effectively they
work together and communicate with and influence clients, stakeholders, and each
other. This course focuses on the project manager's role as both manager and
leader, with particular emphasis on the competencies and skills associated with
effective project leadership and what is required to develop and maintain a
high-performance project team. Participants will address six principal topics
(modules) as they relate to project teams: (1) project management fundamentals,
including the role of the project team and the project team manager-leader, (2)
human behavior, (3) project stakeholders, (4) communications, (5) management and
leadership, including conflict resolution, and (6) developing project teams The
course is highly participative and uses a variety of learning methods, including
lesson presentations, case studies, readings, essays, and discussions.

The “Project Portfolio Days” is a two
day event that offers participants the opportunity to interact with
international experts on this subject. This unique event provides you with the
knowledge, tools and practices to help make better project business decisions

governance-oriented collaboration with business stakeholders, delivers expected
results from investments, and provides reports to stakeholders for
decision-making and for communicating investment status. Last year our focus was
more generic; this year we will focus on Project Portfolio Selection and
Analysis methods and Case Studies.

interact with international practitioners, authors, and experts in Project
Portfolio Management. Please do not miss this special occasion that offers food

Creating Excellence in/through Project Management
by Randall L. Englund
Have you, your project, and/or your organization hit a plateau where performance stagnates? Are you wondering how not only to survive but also prosper during challenging times? Does the question ‘What else can I do?’ come to mind? Then participate in a webinar that addresses a systemic approach to project management in your organization. Come prepared to discover practical ideas that optimize the results to be achieved by creating an environment for successful projects.
Creating Excellence in/through Project Management means…working through others to optimize and achieve greater results from project-based work…realizing a competitive advantage by executing strategy through projects…significant advancements in maturity of people, processes, and the environment of a project-based organization. Achieving excellence involves forming a picture of an ideal project environment…and requires an honest assessment of current reality. Implementing change requires management attention focused on strengths, development opportunities, benchmark comparisons, best practices, and action plans.
This session highlights viewpoints, insights, and practices about why, what, and how to create excellence IN project management. A first question to resolve is who—are you “in the game” with intention to make a difference? With this foundation, the organization is positioned to achieve excellent results THROUGH project management. People who do this understand and optimize the working environment, traverse the path where a project office leads a change management process, and develop leadership in project sponsorship. They identify concepts that support rather than undermine project, program, and portfolio management as organizational competencies. Create a “green,” rather than “toxic,” environment that values project-based work.
