James Louttit – Award-winning author of “Leading Impactful Teams – Achieving Low-stress Success in Project Management” will lead a session on dealing with multiple priorities, managing time, and getting the most out of your team without putting pressure on them. The session will be a mix of stories, ideas and techniques that will bring the concepts to life, and help you return to your projects with a new way of thinking about keeping people happy. We’ll also save time for a Q&A with the person who the Irish Management Institute have called “Ireland’s Leading Project Manager”

In today’s global environment, project success depends less on tools and methodologies—and far more on how clearly teams communicate. Misunderstandings, assumptions, vague messages, cultural gaps, and the “curse of knowledge” quietly generate delays, rework, and frustration. And when a project spans countries, time zones, or cultures, these risks multiply.

In this interactive workshop, Guilherme Furlan brings over 15 years of global experience leading multicultural teams across the USA, Brazil, Europe, and Asia in the energy, automotive, supply chain, and semiconductor industries. Through real stories, data, and a group dynamic, participants will experience how small communication gaps evolve into major project issues.

This month, we explore one of the most influential yet debated frameworks in Agile: Scrum.

Join our host, Antonio Specchia, for an engaging session where speakers Michael Forni and Gunther Verheyen will discuss Scrum – A Smart Travel Companion.

Part 1/2: The “hard” side of change – methodology and tools to make change permanent.

In the first part of this two-part webinar series, Dr Mili Kacher shares the tools, structures, and strategies that help PMs embed change, sustain momentum, and overcome the most common real-life obstacles that derail transformation. You will walk away with practical frameworks and immediately usable techniques to keep teams focused, accountable, make the right decisions and ensure lasting change.

Whether you’re managing cross-functional teams, navigating stakeholder complexity, or leading through change, this series will equip you to lead with greater confidence, alignment, and strategic intent.

Part 2/2: The “soft” side of change – culture, behaviours, fear and how to address them

In the second part of this two-part webinar series, Nathalie Lion explains what the impact of culture on the “appetite for change” and offers tips and tricks to Project/Program Managers for driving the right behaviours when implementing a change. You will discuss different aspects of (organisational) change, its complexity and related difficulties: resistance, fading enthusiasm, unclear ownership, and post-launch chaos.
You will gain concrete tools and methods for creating alignment, building accountability, and sustaining performance long after the project is “done.”
