 About the presentation: 

Staff engagement has never been more important in these challenging and uncertain times. In this session we identify some of the key factors needed to keep you and your team motivated, engaged, and effective in role. For example: holding the locus of control; project ownership; setting priorities; maintaining healthy boundaries and avoiding distractions
We look at the support systems needed to create a healthy workplace, wherever you are working from. We will explore what you can do as a project manager to keep the whole team engaged and motivated.
You will walk away with a better understanding of what is needed as well as practical hands on tools to keep engagement high on the projects you manage

About PM Fair 2020, the digital fair:

Firstly, for reasons that should be obvious to all, this year’s event will be virtual and not physical: we are going online. No physical face-to-face sessions are envisaged. Instead, the congress will be made up of a series of webinars, online workshops and master classes.

Whilst presenting numerous challenges, this also provides plenty of opportunities.

The congress will be spread over an entire week, from Monday the 28th of September, through to, and including, Saturday the 3rd of October. The intention is to offer morning ‘coffee time’ sessions, along with lunch time opportunities, and additional sessions in the early or late evening, thereby maximising the possibility for our members to participate, either in live webinars, or by accessing recorded sessions.

In addition, ‘going virtual’ enables us to extend our existing wonderful relationship with our friends and neighbours, and present PM Fair 2020 in conjunction with from PMI Netherlands and PMI Luxembourg.
