SMART goals can help set realistic, measurable direction, but they are often too rigid for an agile team. An alternative framework known as CLEAR allows teams to adapt as they learn, going beyond set metrics and fostering collaboration to produce better outcomes.
For decades, predictive project management approaches have been applied with success. But now more than ever, more flexible (and faster) decisions are required in complex construction projects—where change of scope is frequent, and the need for new factories is crucial to remain competitive.
When Agile emerged on the scene, it was a dramatic alternative to the way that projects were traditionally delivered, forcing organizations and teams to rethink what they were doing and how. But now that Agile is mainstream, what’s the Next Big Disruptor?
Organizational change management helps ensure that changes are implemented smoothly and efficiently, and that they are aligned with the overall goals and objectives of the company. But how do you approach it differently in an agile versus waterfall environment?
Communication has always been the most important skill that a PM needs. But that doesn’t mean that the ability to communicate effectively is a constant. Just like every other aspect of project management, the skills and expectations are continuously evolving—and PMs have to evolve with them.
Managing a capital project is not for the faint of heart. Navigating the complex web of planning and execution requires an understanding of many aspects in the project delivery lifecycle. One key approach for PMs is to focus on achieving operational readiness once the project is complete.

What we know from research is that the organizations that realized the greatest value from their project management practices are those who adopt practices that do fit, that are aligned and that make sense in the context of the types of projects they take on. Doing this takes work. It takes time and effort and support to make happen. The start of this challenge is often getting the support to make an investment in project management in the first place.
In this webinar, we'll uncover ways to blast through the noise and get noticed, whether it's in-person or digital. Not only will this ensure your message is heard, but it will also make you stand out--and people will be ready to listen again.
In this era of unprecedented political shifts, the global health pandemic, and social justice awakenings, everyone can benefit from having the ability to navigate an evolving socio-political landscape and the needs of an increasingly diverse American population and marketplace.

For professionals operating in the project management space, culturally relevant strategy offers important features and benefits. Taking cues from education pedagogy, this hybrid approach integrates strategy with multi-dimensional research, discourse, critical interpretation, and analysis, to facilitate meaningful outcomes.
