Speaker
Theme
Presentation & Feedback giving skills - crucial
competences for project managers
In association with The Toastmasters Club of
Zurich
Project managers face many situations, where
they have to stand before an audience. They
may have to present the project status to a
steering committee, motivate their team or talk
about their project to a critical audience within
the company. In those situations it is not just
about getting the facts across, it is also about
getting the message to the audience, in an
understandable, convincing and sometimes
even entertaining way. Today, being a good
speaker is not just a nice-to-have skill for
project managers, it is absolutely crucial for our
profession.

NETEVENT :Was Kommt nach dem Project
Quality Management?
In den letzten Jahren hat sich die Bedeutung
des Begriffs Qualität stark verändert. In der
heutigen Zeit reicht es nicht mehr qualitativ
hochwertige Projekte durchzuführen oder
Produkte zu liefern. Interne und externe
Kunden verlangen mehr. Qualität bezieht sich
nicht mehr nur auf messbare Eigenschaften
eines Projektes oder eines Produktes. Das
Verständnis von Qualität hat sich zu einer
subjektiv wahrgenommenen Geisteshaltung
entwickelt, welche als integraler Bestandteil
einer Organisation oder Lieferanten
vorausgesetzt wird
From your VP Members desk:

Ich bin doch kein Politiker, ich bin Projektleiter
Kommunizieren ist einfach - denn schliesslich
ist mir klar, was ich sagen will.
Der Projektplan ist eindeutig, die technischen
Detailspezifikationen sind glasklar, die
Milestones sind bekannt. Nur: Irgendwie
scheinen dies diese "Politiker" aus der
Teppichetage nicht zu verstehen. Und sie sind
es, die das Steering Commitee dominieren. Mit
Ihren Fragen - und "ihrem" Geld.
