thought leadership webinar series

 
Project management is both an art and science. However, while the nature of projects vary, there are many constants that need to be addressed not least of which is the human dimension.  

 In addition to strategic principles, best practices and project hygiene, this webinar will examine the importance of behaviour and communication and provide actionable ideas to help project practitioners transform into project leaders. 

 As companies grapple with change and embrace transformation in the aftermath of Covid-19, the productive utilization of technology has become an even greater imperative for many organisations.

Many believe there is no going back and that the “new normal” is here to stay.

But are organisations ready to deal with the challenges and seize the opportunities such change creates, and how best should they adopt technology in doing so?

Please do join us in our exclusive thought leadership webinar series as our panel of expert speakers discuss technology adoption and how to use it to embrace change and drive business growth in their own organisations.

During this discussion, the panellists will discuss:

• Where and how technology today is driving businesses
• What skillsets are essential in next 1-3 years
• The benefits and pitfalls of adopting technology paradigm shifts such as “Industry 4.0”

Panellists:
• John O'Connor, Head of Global Sales, Focus HQ
• Gajun Ganendran, Head of Solutions Architecture, AWS
• Anthony Dao, Cloud Solutioning Lead, IBM

Moderator:
• Mark Cooper, Co-Founder and CEO, Focus HQ 

 We all went into 2020 with a plan. Those plans were rendered irrelevant just a few months into the year. Organisations quickly rolled out contingency plans and put non-essential initiatives on hold.

This may lead one to believe that 2020 was a wash for technology innovation, but am sure sure we read and experienced first-hand how
digital transformation is sweeping through every aspect of society, and driving unprecedented recovery in businesses today.

At the heart of  this digital transformation are business stakeholders who have been tasked with the imperative to deliver growing performance by optimising revenues and cost-efficiencies to create competitive advantages for the present and the future.

Companies are rethinking the needs of their businesses in more intimate ways especially in connecting to the stakeholder's experience, both internally and externally.

Join us as Aju Murjani, passionate technology leader at IBM Asia Pacific, shares his insights on key technology trends and discusses implementing technology with purpose. 

 We live in an age of human awakening, where the value of empathy & emotional intelligence are discussed openly and accepted as necessary in the interactions between humans. One could argue that we are becoming in fact more in tune with our human self.

That said, when it comes to the workplace, does this really apply? 

Have we adapted our ways of working to this new way of feeling more human?

Join us in this human journey, during which we’ll look at how you can lead by simply being more human. 

Unfortunately, some executives regard the project management and implementation of Transformations as a given, almost as a commodity. The perception being as long as the Transformation strategy is sound, the implementation will almost take care of itself.

This however is rarely the case, and industry today is littered with examples of superb Transformation strategies falling down at execution, and failing to deliver the badly needed business outcomes.

Please join Pierre Costa and Sumantra Som in this exclusive webinar as they draw upon their own experiences and describe how they combined both the art and the science of project management to successfully deliver the most complex global transformations. 

Jun D. Lasco, a serial technopreneur and software architect of the recently released Kalaro digital platform for Esports as he shares practical techniques based on his 30+ years of successfully delivering technology projects for his global customers & business partners.
