Building a Global Center of Excellence | Antonio Espinoza – Director of Digit...Conductor
Developing a winning SEO program and daily management process is tough. Developing this for a $20B corporation, with over 300 legal entities, while operating in all parts of the globe is a true challenge. Over the past few years Danaher has partnered with Conductor to build a winning Digital Marketing Center of Excellence for our top Operating Companies. View this presentation by Antonio Espinoza, the Director of Digital Marketing at Danaher, to learn the steps they took and the knowledge they gained in the process.
Lean Six Sigma is a methodology that was developed in the business environment and is now being used in higher education to uncover a new way of thinking about problems and issues that help teams to resolve problems
In a world that faces marketing and technical challenges it is very important that project management and business work together to deliver the correct solution at the correct time.
The pace of doing business is increasing rapidly with the surge of digital technology touching every aspect of the commercial world
As project management becomes more specialised and business driven using the right project manager at the right time will deliver strategic solutions effectively meeting quality, business and revenue targets.

1. Why it’s important (and how) to engage internal stakeholders Communicate clearly and persuasively, and align towards a common mission and vision.
2. We build tech products, but usually the hard part is not the tech, but the people. Different teams with different agendas, “irrational" decision-making, feature requests coming out of nowhere, lack of strategic direction. If you’ve read this far, you know the drill.
3. “Unpack” these problems and share battle-tested tools that have helped me in my work as a PM and consultant, and that I hope are useful to you as well. There are hard limits into what we can fix as PMs in a broader organization, but there’s also a lot we can do (and should be aware of) to drastically cut down on stakeholder alignment challenges.
4. Tools to help you A framework to manage your internal stakeholders and communications strategically and 4 tools to help you communicate more clearly (and persuasively)
5. And many more strategies Such as techniques to help a group reach consensus without (much) discussion and approaches to gradually lead stakeholders to think about problems first, instead of features (solutions).

Team structure how and why carpe data changed it up - Matthew McLughlinProductized
Last February, Carpe Data restructured the functional organization of the product and technology teams in an attempt to improve meaningful outcomes and reflect the continued growth of the company. While some aspects of these changes had already begun to emerge organically, it was important to formally define strong and self-sufficient teams to replace what was previously one large technology resource pool that interacted in a way that was too decoupled from the product vision. This presentation explains the benefits and drawbacks associated with this change and presents the slides used to unveil the change to the company.
Better Project Selection using Hoshin Planning and Balanced ScorecardsGrant Crow
Picking the right projects is key to maximizing the impact of an investment in lean six sigma. This presentation looks at how to combine best practices such as Hoshin Planning and Balanced Scorecards with Operational Excellence to create an improvement system that ensures that projects align with business objectives and drive execution of the desired results.
At the beginning of a six sigma journey, many companies choose projects driven by local agendas and problems. The focus tends to be tactical. This however can be a common trap. The company has invested in training of belts, staffing the function etc and the projects acted upon are tactical. This can lead to senior executives losing interest in six sigma as they are not seeing the link into their own strategic objectives.
So leaders need to be very clear in their articulation of what they are trying to achieve together with the assumptions behind this. The Hoshin X matrix concept is a very powerful tool to facilitate this and is used to capture and cascade goals and then enable tight alignment of initiatives to these goals. Once this has taken place, regular reviews need to take place and these are facilitated by bowling charts.These charts help the team to stay focused on the critical things even when day to day business tries to distract them.
Hoshin is really a systematic to get everybody focused on the achievement of clear objectives. The first step requires deciding on 3 - 5 medium term breakthrough objectives. We emphasize breakthrough as these objectives should not be business as usual. These are then converted into annual breakthrough objectives and in turn, these are cascaded either directly into supporting initiatives and projects or annual improvement priorities which are supported by projects. The process creates a red thread from the medium term objectives all the way down to the actions required to deliver on them, the responsible people and the KPI's (both leading and lagging) that will be used to measure progress.

New developments in program managementMichel Thiry
Since the first edition of my book "Program Management" was published 6 years ago, program management has evolved both as a distinct discipline and as an organisational capability as described in the second edition of the book. As a discipline it has reached a point where, today, the main program management standards and writers agree that it is meant to deal with complex and turbulent situations and to deliver benefits, not products. It is also becoming more of an organisational capability and practice focuses more and more on its integration within the business, from strategy formulation to sustainability of benefits.
All these developments could be encapsulated in the maturing of the program culture. In this paper, I will examine five aspects of this cultural evolution:
1. The rise of agility and its effect on program management
2. The alignment of the main program management standards
3. The integration of program management in the organisation
4. The distinction between projects and programs
5. The management of change as a key aspect of program management

The Agile Method and AGILE ISD; how to use each to improve your training programChristopher King
The term "agile" is being used readily to express the desire organizations have to be responsive and flexible to change in their organization. The Agile development method is designed to quickly and efficiently produce software products. Recently its application has expanded to other areas including training products. AGILE ISD is a new way of thinking about education where performance is the metric that drives the development and delivery decisions in an organization’s training program. It recognizes the long tail of learning and the five moments of learning need. AGILE ISD provides strategies for creating a culture of learning at your organization.
While these two agile methods are for different purposes, they are not mutually exclusive. This session will explain how your organization can use both methods to your advantage and success. We clarify some of the different uses of the term agile within the learning and development community. In this session we will cover:
• Agile (software) movement - its history, its main tenets, different types of agile frameworks and how to incorporated into the ADDIE training methodology
• AGILE ISD – is a methodology developed by Dr. Conrad Gottfredson that aims to supplement ADDIE by expanding its scope to include informal learning design. We cover its history, its main tenants, principles of agile education, and incorporating AGILE ISD into the ADDIE training methodology
• How the two approaches can both be successfully applied in your L&D organization

You will receive and examine a template and sample mobile learning project management plan that includes front-end analysis, specifications documents, budgets, change management plan, development plan, implementation plan, and project evaluation. You will leave this session with a new appreciation and preparedness for mobile learning project management.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
