Rebecca Staton-Reinstein, Ph.D. and president of Advantage Leadership, Inc., has been both an accidental, untrained Project Manager and a trained one. She has managed a wide variety of projects and understands the pain of juggling too many tasks, relying on others for information and work with no authority to manage them, and struggling to keep too many stakeholders from spoiling the project. She has developed project management programs for her clients around the world. She developed project management for training companies, webinar providers, and conferences. She worked with organizations to improve strategic leadership and planning, employee engagement, and customer delight.
The Project Management Institute brought active practitioners together to produce the Project Management Body of Knowledge, PMBOK, which is used around the world on all sorts of projects of varying sizes, with or without software support tools. Acquire the basic tools and approaches of PMBOK to turn special assignments into projects, which you can manage successfully to get the required results. Learn to fully define the real intent of the work, which may not be recognized by the requester of the work. Learn a systematic approach to get the desired results, and satisfy customers’ needs, effectively and efficiently.
Areas Covered
As a result of this webinar, administrative professionals will be able to:
- Define the “business problem”
- Organize tasks to create a project plan to guide all your efforts
- “Manage” your project “team” even if you don’t have one
- Keep critical stakeholders informed and involved
- Track progress and recognize quickly when things are slipping
- Lead effective project meetings
- Demonstrate successful project completion
Apply lessons learned to the next project
Who Should Attend
- Administrative Professionals
- Anyone who must manage projects or special assignments as part of their responsibilities
- Team leaders who manage special assignments in administrative fields
Why Should You Attend
Today, Administrative Professionals perform many operations once performed by specialists. Often, through years of downsizing, people with in-depth special knowledge in critical areas are no longer available. The work still needs to be performed when needed, so someone is assigned. These activities are “projects.” Because management doesn’t recognize these assignments as projects, few Administrative Professionals receive training or tools to help manage the work efficiently and effectively. The work is added to an already full schedule, major decisions have been made elsewhere, and you often have no “team” to work with you. Administrative Professionals can and do plan, execute, and manage projects to get desired results on time and on budget. Learn to avoid the biggest pitfalls for any project manager and adapt widely-used approaches to manage projects successfully. You do not need to be called a project manager to be a successful one.
Topic Background
Project management is the art and science of getting results by following a roadmap laid down to turn customers’ desires or organizational goals and needs into concrete products and services by following established procedures in a defined sequence.
