Fujitsu - Shared Knowledge is Power - Building a Project Management Community...Wellingtone
Presented by Paul Jones P&PM Process Champion, Fujitsu
Presentation Synopsis: Understanding your customers’ changing organisation is difficult enough, but combined with your own ever changing organisation and the faster pace of project delivery we need to leverage more than just our own knowledge and experience. A strong project management community driven by knowledge sharing may be the answer you need.
Fujitsu’s vision is about providing the ability for project managers to share and interact with other members of the community, sharing knowledge and experience, but just as important is taking that knowledge back into the organisation. All of this needs to support the individual in developing their professional career and the organisation improving its project delivery. The size of your organisation is irrelevant, every organisation can benefit from a knowledge based community, it is how you shape the community to meet your needs that will deliver the benefits.
As Project Managers we do not deliver, we do not cut code or build bridges, we work with teams and stakeholders to ensure that delivery is done. The job is about working with people, breaking down barriers, reducing risk, managing change. To do this well it’s not about “know what” it’s about “know how”. Better access to knowledge and the support to use it wisely means faster, cheaper and higher quality projects.
Our community framework is underpinned by the knowledge cycle which takes the know how from individuals to continually improve corporate knowledge. In turn corporate knowledge sets the standards for your project managers and raises project management capability. It is the flow of what you know and what you need to know.

How to Implement an ERP and Still Remain Friends - Kerzner Project of the YearCasey Cramer
Every year, the Northeast Ohio Chapter of PMI asks their Project of the Year recipient to deliver a presentation to their chapter members during one of their monthly meetings. Cleveland Metropolitan School District and Navigator Management Partners presented "How to Implement an ERP and Still Remain Friends" to the group on June 20, 2018.
The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

The transformation that should be occupying our mind is the transformation of the
organisation itself – to become more change-able. Where there is robust alignment
throughout the organisation, operational efficiency in the change process itself, as
well as an inherent agility to respond.
Change as part of the DNA

7 questions change leaders should be asking
themselves
• What type of leader do I want to be?
Your intentions need to become actions if you are going to create new habits
• How prepared am I to have difficult conversations if required?
• How committed am I to deal with resistance?
Is your commitment high enough to resolve and/or push through
• Will I support the change but also try to defend the status quo?
• How prepared am I to co-create with others?
Involve others, especially if they have different perspectives from yours?
• How observant am I?
Do you notice barriers and then find out what is causing them?
• You have a ripple effect – what is yours?
