Workshops

Managing Portfolios, Programs, and Collections of Projects

A one day workshop – May 22nd, 2008

Few leaders have the luxury of focusing on a single project. Instead, they must balance multiple simultaneous projects, constantly making imperfect tradeoffs between conflicting needs. This class shows you how to manage three different multiple-project scenarios:

• A collection of loosely related projects
• A program of tightly related projects targeted at a shared objective
• A portfolio of projects that is diversified and integrated to meet broad organizational objectives

Managing multiple projects requires an organizational framework in addition to personal skills. Therefore, this class also looks at how project management methodology, governance, and organizational structure affect the management of multiple projects.

Cost: $275 / $300
Location: World Trade Center, Portland

You Can't Manage Time
But You Can Manage Many Priorities

A one day workshop April 30, 2008

This is a “time management” class that brings a fresh approach to an old problem.  This class goes beyond the ordinary material, where you’re reminded of the good personal habits you already know you should have.  Instead, You Can’t Manage Time brings you a fresh approach, first by de-bunking some popular myths of time management, then by helping you see very clearly the areas where you, personally, can make improvements. 

We start by identifying the problems inherent in multiple, conflicting priorities:  Expectations, invisibility (you know you have a dozen #1 priorities, but no one else does!), lack of control.
We address each of these problem areas specifically, taking a deep dive into solutions including:

1. Optimizing personal efficiency
2. Mastering email management
3. Managing interruptions
4. Applying Emotional Intelligence to help work through things “beyond your control”
5. Overcoming the “Productivity Pillagers” (the four heavy hitters that affect most professionals)
6. Optimizing organizational communications
7. A new approach to the work/life balance problem

The class draws on insightful, outside-the-box research in this area, made even more vivid and enjoyable by a number of real-world examples.  Worksheets and exercises augment the discussions and examples and make the material practical and useful – right away – for participants in the class.

Participants receive the instructor’s book, You Can’t Manage Time – But You Can Manage Many Priorities.
