APM webinar hosted by Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire Branch on 21 September 2023.
Speaker - Kayleigh Chambers, NSPCC - Linkedin
According to Scope, approximately 23% of working age adults have some form of disability. This webinar was held on 21 September 2023.
According to the British Dyslexia Association, up to 15% of the adult population may have dyslexia or another Specific Learning Difficulty.
This means that it is highly likely in our projects we are working with or for someone who is neurodivergent or has a disability.
By making small changes to our practice we can increase the likelihood of project success by enabling all stakeholders to contribute their full potential.
Content covered:
Definitions (Disability, Equality, Neuro-Diversity)
As project mangers we rely on documentation for everything; quality assurance, scope, PIDs, planning, even meeting notes. How do we make our documents more accessible so that people use them?
Meetings should be a protected and productive time. What can you do to make sure people are welcomed and contributing?
In person events – How do you ensure everyone feels welcome to attend – and is able to be fully involved?

Design for all vs. Design for me: the limits of Inclusive DesignJonathan Hassell
Over the last few years accessibility has been usefully rebranded as ‘universal or inclusive design’, to emphasise its obvious link with usability and UX. But ‘universal design’ (design for everyone) is an unattainable ideal, and ‘inclusive design’ (design for as many people as you reasonably can) falls down where people’s needs cannot all be supported by one design. In this UCD-13 presentation, Jonathan Hassell discusses why we are settling for ‘design for all’ when the personalisation capabilities of digital software mean we can ‘design for me’, which is really what everyone wants anyway.

UXPA2019 Enhancing the User Experience for People with Disabilities: Top 10 ...UXPA International
An estimated 1.3 billion people globally report limitations in their daily activities due to a disability. When it comes to the physical world, businesses have made progress in accommodating customers with disabilities. But in the digital world, websites lack basic accessibility features such as text alternatives describing images, proper heading level structures so individuals who are blind and use screen readers can understand the content on a webpage, or captioning for multimedia content for individuals who are deaf or are hard of hearing – let alone assistive technology for customers who have trouble using mobile devices due to dexterity limitations that arise from a variety of conditions.
In this session, attendees will:
* Understand people with disabilities (PWDs) and how they use the web
* Learn about common barriers, issues and solutions
* Discover the different testing methodologies and their interdependencies
* Uncover ROI

How to Talk About Your Open Source Project So People Get ItAll Things Open
Title: How to Talk About Your Open Source Project So People Get It
Presented at All Things Open 2022
Presented by Emily Omier
Abstract: Do your colleagues seem confused when you talk about your open source project? Are you struggling to get traction for your project and worried that a lack of contributors could threaten the project’s long-term viability? In this talk, Emily Omier will show how maintainers can apply the principles of positioning to open source projects so that they’ll attract more of the right kind of users who will become a lasting part of the community. Maintainers will learn how to describe their project in a way that will make sense to other engineers immediately, how to articulate why anyone should care about their project and how to figure out who their ideal community members are. Emily will also cover what concrete actions to take to tell the world the project exists after clarifying or changing positioning.
Making Learning Accessible – Solving A Complex PuzzleLearningCafe
Our workforce is becoming more diverse with employees facing different kinds of barriers to Learning. These barriers to Learning include not only physical ones such as vision, hearing and motor disabilities but also cognitive disabilities and literacy. The combinations and variations may be too numerous to cater for using the “one size fits all” design approach.
Under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992, Australian Government agencies are required to ensure information and services are provided in a non-discriminatory accessible manner by implementing the Web content accessibility guidelines version 2.0 (WCAG 2.0). Private sector is also choosing to address accessibility requirements as part of social corporate responsibility.
The challenge for Learning professionals is to designing accessible Learning including:
a more technically challenging design and development approach.requiring a bigger budget.

APM event hosted by the North West Branch on 5 December 2023.
Speaker: Katie Demain, Global Partner and Change Expert, iOpener Institute
There is compelling evidence that it pays to invest in your employees’ happiness. Research findings are clear that happier employees are more productive, which improves your bottom line. Your happiest employees are 65% more energised at work, spend twice as much time on-task, and intend to stay in their job 4 times longer, according to iOpener Institute. This event was held on 5 December 2023.
But what does being happy at work actually mean? Why is happiness considered the antidote to poor performance? Isn’t happiness just a fuzzy concept? Should workforce happiness be on your agenda in the current tough economic climate? What does making happy employees mean in real terms for business leaders and managers?
This event will bring participants up to speed with all aspects behind workforce happiness – its theory, its value and its challenges – for managers, teams and individuals. And to present practical solutions that you’ll be able to implement straight away with your teams.

Reference Class Forecasting - useful method, or random number generator? webinarAPMDonotuse
APM Webinar hosted by the North West Branch on 18 October 2023.
Speaker: Dr Michala Techau
Addressing the why, when, and how to use Reference Class Forecasting (RCF) as a method to predict uncertainty in major project planning and delivery. The key reason behind cost and schedule overrun is underestimation of risks, and the root causes of underestimation are optimism and political bias. This webinar was held on Wednesday 18 October 2023.
https://youtu.be/Shl5r1wTzxc
https://www.apm.org.uk/news/reference-class-forecasting-useful-method-or-random-number-generator-webinar/
Oxford Global Projects has vast experience of working on the risk assessment of complex and uncertain major capital projects. Our research shows that these projects are more likely to experience overruns in time and cost than underruns, and that the potential magnitude of overruns is likely to be greater than the magnitude of underruns.
Thus, for large capital projects, the norm is over budget, over time, under benefits, over and over again, The founder of OGP, Professor Bent Flyvbjerg, has named this the “iron law of megaprojects” - and we argue that it is crucial to build a strong evidence base to de-bias cost, schedule, and benefit estimates to derive clear, actionable recommendations for de-risking capital project delivery.
RCF is a method for systematically taking an outside-view on planned actions. The method is used to make explicit, empirically based adjustments to estimates that prevent estimation biases such as optimism bias. To be accurate, these adjustments should be based on data from past and similar projects calibrated for the unique characteristics of the project at hand.
The basic idea of RCF is that we answer the questions:
What was the actual cost and schedule performance of past similar projects?
How risky were they in terms of how much their cost and schedule changed in comparison to their original estimates?
How do the cost and schedule performance of past relevant projects compare to your project, and what is your project’s risk of overrun?
What contingency is required to provide the level of certainty you require that your project will not overrun?
The talk highlighted typical misconceptions about RCF, and put them to bed. Challenges, causes, and cures for major project performance will be illustrated with case studies from the transport, energy, and the built environment sectors. The talk concluded with a Q&A session and an open discussion on how RCF is potentially more important than ever, in relation to addressing our impact on the environment.

Navigating Difficult Conversations on Projects WebinarAPMDonotuse
APM webinar hosted the South East Branch on 27 September 2023.
Speaker: Marion Thomas
This Webinar explored the art of engaging in difficult conversations, equipped project leaders with practical strategies and insights that align with the principles and practices advocated by the APM Body of Knowledge. Marion Thomas, experienced PM, speaker, certified coach, ChPP mentor, and trainer in leadership, led this discussion.
We explored how to engage in those challenging conversations that are often necessary for project success whilst also protecting ourselves professionally.
As project leaders, we understand the importance of effective communication and how it can significantly impact project success. However, sometimes, we find ourselves faced with challenging conversations that require finesse and skill to handle. In this talk, we delved into the art of engaging in difficult discussions while also safeguarding our professional integrity.
Throughout the project lifecycle, project leaders often encounter situations where they must initiate or participate in tough conversations with various stakeholders, customers, team members, and other involved parties. These conversations may range from addressing conflicts and disputes to becoming the messenger of undesirable news that can expose us to potential backlash. On the other hand, some project leaders may intentionally introduce a level of non-hostile positive conflict to encourage innovative thinking and creativity within the project.
In this engaging session, we provided valuable insights and actionable strategies to empower project leaders to navigate such challenging conversations effectively. Our expert speakers shared practical tips on how to approach these situations with confidence, ensuring the best possible outcomes for both the project and our colleagues.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
