PDMA CONNECTIONS - MEMBER NEWS

PDMA is excited to be rolling-out new membership options effective today. This process started almost a year ago with an internal analysis of membership data that led to an in-depth voice of customer research. We learned that members and prospects were happy with PDMAs features and benefits but wanted some different options for participating as members and at a lower cost. We then took a few months to recraft the membership options. You can view the new membership categories and costs here.

This change comes at a time when we are experiencing a wonderful proliferation of chapter activity globally, having recently published the second edition of the PDMA Body of Knowledge, increased interest in our certification program by public and private institutions throughout the world and as we are about to distribute a new Comparative Performance Assessment Study (CPAS). We also have additional projects slated for 2021 related to training and certification in development that we will be excited to report on as they progress.

Our primary goal with this change is growth in our PDMA community worldwide. Please help us (and yourself) by continuing to be a valued member or joining if you are not. If you are a current member, the new, lower rate will be reflected on your renewal statement. For non-members – this is a great time to join a fantastic organization. Please also consider recruiting a colleague by sharing this article. We are happy to be sharing this news and look forward to a successful 2021 full of continued growth and development all in support of our members and the profession.

Description

One of the most expensive situations organizations face are failing projects. Understanding techniques to get an off-course project headed the right direction is critical before it adversely impacts the expected outcomes. In this energetic session, Jana teaches valuable critical-thinking and problem-assessment skills, as well as techniques to build executable strategies that allow an organization to course-correct before it’s too late.

Attendees will learn:

The best way to communicate with frustrated stakeholders and sponsors.

Effective questioning to find the true problem areas.

How to be a champion for your project and team, revitalizing their resolve.
