Communication & Conflict – Handling Difficult Conversations with Confidence
Strong communication is at the heart of every successful project. In this 90-minute interactive session, we’ll dive into conflict resolution techniques every project manager should know — and bring them to life through Annie’s unique Bird Personas: the Mean Magpie, Avoidant Ostrich, Diligent Duck, and Effective Eagle, from her book, “The Courageous Sponsor”.

Discover how to spot different communication styles, defuse tension, and navigate challenging conversations with clarity and empathy. We'll also include a short, practical role play so you can experience how these strategies work in action.
Bring your curiosity — and maybe your inner bird!

CPI, OPA, EEF, COQ, WBS, SOW, roadmap, critical path, user stories... Latin? Not at all!
Technical terms like these are decisive parameters in all performance domains of the PMBOK. They can be found in processes and in the logic of project management, and not only there - technical terms are practical terms that provide a relevant basis for understanding.

In this study group workshop, we will dive into the technical terms of the PMI, discuss the particularly challenging candidates and put them into context - with guaranteed oha moments.

The simulation is designed for professionals juggling 50+ concurrent projects - especially in industrial and manufacturing environments, but equally valuable for any complex knowledge work setting.

Many industrial companies face the challenge of coordinating numerous projects in parallel across departments and external partners. This often leads to bottlenecks, a lack of transparency and operational overhead - exacerbated by unclear roles, fragmented communication and complex processes.

Our value stream multi-project Kanban simulation offers you a practical, risk-free experience in four hours in a realistically simulated industrial project portfolio. You will experience visualization, coordination and systematic experimentation - without interfering with existing processes.

Leadership Transformation 25

In a world characterized by rapid change, traditional hierarchical leadership structures are facing unprecedented challenges. The younger generation is entering the job market with high expectations. They are looking not just for a job, but for a meaningful purpose. These profound changes require a leadership transformation in our organizations – a "Leadership Transformation 25."

Processes: Scope management

The topic will be explained by the processes related to scope and surrounding knowledge areas or domains. As culture has a deep influence to deriving scope this topic will be included. After the session, the participants will know about the importance of scope and its interstices to surrounding domains. Participants will know how to get started and how to decompose to a sufficient level of detail. The students will be able to identify cultural influences to scope analysis and scope decomposition.

This event will be held in German language

What began in 2012 with a Kanban pilot is now a company-wide system with over 1,000 active business map boards, 1.6 million cards created and SAP integration for over 30 boards.

We are delighted to welcome Christian Lisiecki, who has been part of the journey from the very beginning.

In this webinar, he will give us personal insights into the development, challenges and game changers of this journey.

You can find out how GROB-WERKE:

• synchronizes SAP and Businessmap bidirectionally - for over 16,000 tasks every day,
• saves over 30% time with smart automation in feedback loops,
• speeds up the creation of new tasks by over 90% through integration,
• and how real visualization takes operational control to a new level.

Whether you're already working with modern tools or still thinking about getting started, this story shows what's possible in project and process management when you consistently focus on visibility and integration.

At the end, there will be an open Q&A session with Christian - your questions are very welcome!

This session intends to delve into Time Management Principles and Agile Methodologies, both crucial for PMP aspirants. It aligns with PMBOK’s Project Schedule Management knowledge area, covering key concepts like defining activities, sequencing tasks, estimating durations, and controlling schedules.

This session provides an introduction to project cost management based on the PMBOK Guide. It focuses on the four main processes: Plan Cost Management, Estimate Costs, Determine Budget, and Control Costs. The session concludes with a look at the practical application of these processes in real-world projects.
