A Balanced Scorecard approach of step-wise refinement
from Vision to Implementation of projects can be achieved
by integrating the Balanced Scorecard approach with
Project Selection Process. This will increase the quality of
the project portfolio and improve the confidence of
business sponsors that their Investment in projects will
return benefits that they perceive to be of value.
Successful change can be influenced by a variety of factors, which can affect the result of change itself, as well as the objectives of the project. Change management is the strategic and structured approach for transitioning individuals, teams and organizations from a current state to a desired future state.
Most project managers follow established project management methodologies in order to achieve success. However, some degree of failure is evident in most projects worldwide. One important reason for this failure, is that projects often implement change, and in its turn change may introduce new risk parameters.

Created to demonstrate how an organization can improve the delivery of project management services both internally and externally using best practices. A project management office, empowered to govern a project portfolio, including the prioritization process that selects projects for the portfolio, can demonstrate measurable benefits by implementing a project management office using best practices. This presentation explains the roles, functions and benefits of such an office.
The term ‘project management’ initiated its journey in the early 1950s. By definition, project management is the practice of planning and organizing an organization’s resources in order to move a specific task to completion. Before acquiring knowledge in project management, it is significant to know what a ‘project’ is. For this, you can avail our project management assignment help

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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
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.

Steering Committee
The project Steering Committee includes management and other executive level stakeholders that will be
directly impacted by the success or outcome of the CRM project. During the implementation, the Steering
Committee will reach consensus or influence the most strategic objectives for CRM adoption as well as
approve the implementation scope, approach, time frame and budget. Due to the relatively short duration of
the actual software CRM implementation, the Steering Committee will incur more time and emphasis on
CRM adoption, utilization, measurement and refinement. Post software implementation activities will include:
1. Confirming all customer information is being centrally stored, shared and made available
2. Verifying the users‟ are actually using, benefiting by and endorsing the system
3. The information is being correctly organized and processed for operational support and analysis,
4. Information is accurate, available and in proper format or structure so that customers are better
served, are spoken to with uniformity across the organization (a consistent message regardless of
who‟s speaking) and customer service consistent
These individuals will include the executive level stakeholders, Project Leader, Project Manager, Lead
Consultant, Finance and MIS management and sometime key users. These individuals are responsible for
reviewing the progress of the implementation, understanding the current issues, resolving critical issues,
providing vision of future business opportunities and direction, and supporting the efforts through moral
support of the entire project team.
Steering Committee responsibilities include the following:
Corporate-wide data sharing: Clearly sponsoring the organization‟s customer information and data
sharing strategy, which states that customer information is to be centralized and available throughout
the organization (based on need and security pending) for sharing in order to promote effectiveness
and better service the customer. This information strategy further prohibits individuals or groups from
operating silo systems, shadow systems or other disconnected or standalone systems or systems
which do not result in customer information being put in the designated CRM system.
Provide interpretation of company or project vision, direction and execution of objectives.
Provide project oversight and guidance on strategic issues and direction.
Make decisions which can change project organization, project scope, or allocation of project
funding.
Ensure that the direction of the project continues to be in line with the original mission and goals set

the Project Leader and Project Team. This individual is responsible for communicating project status to the
Steering Committee, ensuring milestones are completed in a timely fashion, and providing the overall

communities.
Project Leader
This role will require an individual with strong management and communication skills who understands the
operation and objectives of the CRM implementation. It is possible to have an outside consultant or vendor
consultant and internal person that share the Project Leader responsibilities, however, advance planning
must dictate specific roles and responsibilities. The Project Leader is the person responsible for the overall
project planning and progress toward the implementation. This individual is responsible for monitoring,
maintaining, and adjusting the project plan (based on the input and deliverables of team members), providing
implementation experienced leadership strategies to the Executive Sponsor, and ensuring the effectiveness
of the application consultants assigned to the project. Other responsibilities include reviewing and assisting

Functional Champions / Team Leads
Functional Champions or Team Leads spearhead an individual functional area (such as SFA, Marketing,
Customer Service, or a particular line of business). These individuals are stakeholders from the department
or line of business most affected by the module (e.g., SFA), have complete domain area knowledge and are
dedicated to the project (and generally relieved of traditional day-to-day responsibilities for departmental
operations while participating on their area of the project) for the project duration. Functional Champions
must be empowered to make decisions for their domain area and their user community. They lead the
configuration efforts and decisions during the Conference Room Pilot (CRP) phase with each software
module. They further determine the current and anticipated transaction flows within the software module.
Their primary objective is to gather process and configuration information from the key users and define the
business system based on that information. These individuals may develop process flowcharts for the
existing and new system processes, develop methods of resolving process gaps, identify report and data
requirements for the respective modules to support the end users, and identify data conversion requirements
to support their modules. Functional Champions are responsible for module testing, coordinating and
facilitating key user meetings, scheduling key users for system tests, preparing process documents,

System Administrator (SA)
In order to take and maintain ownership of CRM utilization and long term success, the client must appoint an
internal System Administrator (SA). Although technical experience is not required, the SA is a more technical
resource to the project team and actively involved throughout the implementation project and post production
processing. The SA will utilize tools built in to the Aplicor CRM system for all or almost all SA functions. All
CRM applications that operate on a relational database management system (RDBMS) require skilled SA‟s
for steady operation.
Configuration & Setup:
