September: Stakeholder Engagement in a Hyper-Connected world

Date: Thursday, September 16, 2021
Time: 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM EDT
Hosted by Cristina Herrera 

Join us as we demystify stakeholder engagement once and for all. As well as explore real ways to co-create and engage your project management communities using human-centric approaches and collaborative technology to save you time, money and the pain of ignoring stakeholder needs.

Three distinct changes of our times have impacted why, what, and how we engage:
• A digital, hybrid workforce in a post-pandemic workplace
• The democratization of knowledge and information brought about by social, mobile and cloud technology
• Complex stakeholder expectations of inclusion, diverse consultation, and co-creation when it comes to transformation

We will cover:
1. Explore how engagement and stakeholder expectations have changed in a post-pandemic project landscape and what it means in a hyper-connected world
2. Unpack how human-centric approaches save you time and budget as well as gets you valuable buy-in to your projects quicker and mitigates risks earlier on
3. Experience, leverage and apply collaborative technology for immediate use after the session to stand out and engage the modern project stakeholder
4. Learn from the world of change management, human-centered design, and technology from REAL life case studies/research
5. Hacks to empower your project team to digitally engage stakeholders in a hybrid universe of work

Programm – FM-Day 2021

So is the office as we know it dead? With a large majority of the workforce expected to work remotely regularly, is the office dead? Or will it have a different role to play? In this talk by workplace strategist Clart Elliott, understand what will be the new role of the office will be and how one must navigate that.

We hope that you have enjoyed some time-off this summer and look forward to our re-entry into the fall season with a block-buster offering from Lisa Whited. Given the now urgent focus on Climate Change we all need to be prepared to inform ourselves more deeply and be ready to make personal and organization commitments to the cause. I really can’t think of anyone better equipped to lead us through this subject. Lisa will be publishing a book on this subject in September and is a co-author of a chapter on sustainability and the planet in the book Work on the Move to be published in October by the IFMA Foundation. Not only is she well-informed, she is passionate and the most endearing host for this conversation.

In this workshop we will use a case exercise based on a real situation to consolidate learnings. Participants will work in teams to understand the drivers associated with a fictitious organisation, engage with the C-Suite, determine the features of the workplace experience that will add value and pitch to the Board of Directors for investment on how the new workplace experience can deliver tangible competitive advantage.

So how does one craft a Workplace Experience when the Workplace is no more the office alone? The experience journey of employees shifts radically as organisations move to a scenario where an employee experiences the workplace in a blended world of the physical and the digital. Hear from Kati about what are the key points to be kept in mind in this new world and how to do it.

Join host Andrew Mawson, Founder of global management consultancy, Advanced Workplace Associates (AWA) and co-author of the IFMA-adopted Workplace Management Framework (WMF) to learn more about the true impact of the Pandemic on ways of working, thinking and managing people and teams. 

Andrew will reveal how Covid-19 added a new lens to the traditional workplace ‘experience’ – changing the behaviours and habits of people around the globe, resulting in greater collaboration and integration between core disciplines, as well as the emerging role of ‘Chief Experience Officer’ (CXO). 

We will merge consideration of Supply Chain Management and Resource Management since they are inextricably connected. In supply chain, we will be considering suppliers for the value they bring, not just the cost of their services. We are also sensitive to the fact that most suppliers know their business better than those seeking the services. We will learn how to provide service providers and suppliers with the ability to make their own recommendations on scope and process and to seek the value of their experience
