An Innovation Masterclass with Jordan Duffy

Innovation and industry disruption is occurring at an increasingly rapid rate, and is spreading through the modern business world with viral proportions. Project managers are being asked to deliver projects requiring unprecedented levels of collaboration, leap-of-faith foresight and flexibility in delivery to succeed.

Project Management methodologies have traditionally found their place in the business world to provide a controlled framework in which to deliver change across an organisation. Today’s business world is demanding project managers to reimagine their skills and methodologies to make change happen at a whole new level! Embracing the Innovation Age is no longer just for the business-savvy risk-taker… the Innovation Age is now!

Selling a Project to the Key Stakeholders

Driving organisational change through project management essentially involves selling. 

The Project Manager must have the skills to convince stakeholders across an organisation to disrupt their current, known processes and policies and adopt new ones. The first step of this journey involves the PM strategically gaining key stakeholder support. 

There are five stages to success: Identifying, prioritising, researching, engaging and adapting to the stakeholders. 

In this interactive workshop you will learn how behavioural style and KPIs drive stakeholder support and how to leverage this knowledge to successfully drive change, resulting in greater project success.
