My post yesterday highlighted the wealth of topics covered here at CA World. This wide range applies to my presentations as well. I am delivering my IT Governance presentation, Critical Components of a PMO, Enabling Performance with Process Management, and an overview of the ITIL v3 treatment of Service Portfolio Management.
Though my presentations and meetings at CA World are keeping me busy, I'm still managing to wedge in some conference calls with customers who were unable to make the trip this year. One such call was focused on planning my visit to their organization next month. In previous posts, I've mentioned how much I enjoy these visits because they provide me with the current challenges, perspectives and experiences that keep me in touch with what is happening in IT organizations today.
Most of the companies choose 1 and sometimes 2 of my presentations. A few have really taken advantage of the opportunity and bring me in to conduct multiple sessions to numerous audiences. This next engagement wants me to conduct 4 individual presentations. Here is their ambitious agenda:
- 9:00 - 10:30 Meeting Enterprise Goals through Project and Portfolio Management
- 11:30 - 1:00 Beyond Mandates: Getting to "Sustainable" IT Governance Best Practices
- 1:30 - 3:00 Ensuring Process Success
- 3:00 - 4:00 Facilitated Process Management Discussion
They are making the most of my visit and promised they would find a way for me to eat lunch. If my voice holds out, we will be delivering a lot of information and providing a forum that enables them to immerse themselves in key IT-related matters - much like CA World.
Do you find yourself struggling to obtain executive sponsorship, involvement of key stakeholders? Is everyone in your organization on the same page in regards to your IT Governance, PPM, PMO, or Process initiatives?
I can help. I invite you to reach out to your local CA representative. They will be able to work with you to determine if it would be helpful to have me bring a bit of CA World to you.
