Speaker: Clay Weaver, Directory of Information Technology Officer for the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs

Topic:  The Challenge of Change: Using PM Principles and Practices to go from Resistance to Reward

Synopsis:  Resistance to change is a common problem found in most transformation initiatives. When coupled with over 20 years of cultural bias and significant technical debt, common solutions to the problem can encounter some unique challenges. This presentation describes how Project Management principles and practices aided to modernize and transform the delivery of IT services for a state agency. Further, it describes how those same concepts were employed in both the planning and execution of real transformation initiatives and how they were ingrained in the resulting IT organizational structure by design. This approach has proved invaluable in overcoming the inherent challenges presented by the many detractors that are routinely found in a long-tenured IT staff facing significant change.

TOPIC: Taking Our Project Management Careers to the Next Level

The project management field out there is pretty crowded out there. Its no longer enough to be just really good at what you do.  You have to be more.  It’s no longer build it on time, on scope and budget.   You have to add value over and above the normal requirements of project managers.

So how do we add value?  How do we stand out in the crowd?  How do we get recognized in this very crowded field?

Our speaker will get us thinking about what we can do to innovate our careers and get to the next level.

Key Take-Aways:

• What is our industry looking for in a project manager these days?
• How can we stand up and be recognized in a crowded field?
• What do I need to do to ensure career success as a project manager?
