A little knowledge can be dangerous: there are several
pitfalls that are easy to fall into. This seminar focuses on those which
often mislead people, sometimes even the knowledgeable, careful surveyor.
Some topics discussed are searching in the wrong places for information;
believing that all abutting properties extend to the centerline of a road;
trying to derive answers without any research or from inadequate research;
accepting the wrong evidence; and being misled by numbers and confusing
adverse relationships with types of agreement.

Project Management for Managing Business Change
Manchester/286: CRN
25903, May 27, Thursday, 9:30 a.m.-4 p.m., , .6 CEUs, $265, lunch included
The business climate, your competition, and customer's needs
are constantly changing. Therefore, businesses must constantly change in
order to survive and grow. You have the choice of allowing change to happen
or you can consciously create desirable and lasting change focused on
attaining the future for your organization that you want. Top performing
organizations have developed and regularly follow defined processes for
consciously and predictably molding their business towards the outcomes they
desire. In this workshop you will learn a proven Project-based Business
Change Management process for assessing, identifying, selecting, and
implementing the "right" business initiatives and projects. Adopting such a
process can reduce initiative/project start-up costs; reduce overall project
costs up to 20%; reduce employee stress; and ensure a higher rate of
initiatives/projects are completed on time, on budget, and with the expected
business value. You'll be guided through a series of highly interactive
exercises designed to enable you to learn the process in detail so that
you'll have the foundation to establish a tailored process within your
organization. You are encouraged, but not required, to complete a general
project management workshop prior to attending this one. (This is part of
the Project Management Certificate Program, but you do not need to enroll in
the program to take this workshop. It also takes the place of "Business
Initiative Management" as a required workshop in the Project Management

Project Risk Management: Discovering Opportunity Portsmouth:
CRN 25920, June 8,
Tuesday, 9:30 a.m.-4 p.m., , .6 CEUs, $265, lunch included
Research shows that lack of risk management is among the top
10 reasons a project fails. Risk management means managing uncertainties and
unanticipated problems that may arise during a project, thereby reducing the
potential impact. This proactive approach to managing risks makes you better
prepared to respond to uncertainties and increases your understanding of the
project. This helps insure project success and enables you to make better
tactical and strategic decisions. Whatever project you're managing, whether
it's in the office, manufacturing plant, or on the construction site, it's
critical to understand the value of risk management. In this workshop the
concept of risk will be explored and then linked with project management.
You'll learn tools and techniques for identifying risks and understand
common risk factors and triggers. By using both qualitative and quantitative
methods to prioritize risks and risk impact, you'll learn how to assess
risks to your project, as well as cost, schedule and quality. You'll also
learn how to develop a risk response plan, and monitor and control risks
throughout the project life cycle. Note: Basic Project Management or the
approval of the instructor is a prerequisite for this workshop. (This is
part of the Project Management Certificate Program, but you do not need to
enroll in the program to take this workshop.)

Change Management process for assessing, identifying, selecting, and
implementing the "right" business initiatives and projects. Adopting such a
process can reduce initiative/project start-up costs; reduce overall project
costs up to 20%; reduce employee stress; and ensure a higher rate of
initiatives/projects are completed on time, on budget, and with the expected
business value. You'll be guided through a series of highly interactive
exercises designed to enable you to learn the process in detail so that
you'll have the foundation to establish a tailored process within your
organization. You are encouraged, but not required, to complete a general
project management workshop prior to attending this one. (This is part of
the Project Management Certificate Program, but you do not need to enroll in
the program to take this workshop. It also takes the place of "Business
Initiative Management" as a required workshop in the Project Management
Certificate Program.)

Project Risk Management: Discovering Opportunity Portsmouth:
CRN 25920, June 8,
Tuesday, 9:30 a.m.-4 p.m., , .6 CEUs, $265, lunch included
Research shows that lack of risk management is among the top
10 reasons a project fails. Risk management means managing uncertainties and
unanticipated problems that may arise during a project, thereby reducing the
potential impact. This proactive approach to managing risks makes you better
prepared to respond to uncertainties and increases your understanding of the
project. This helps insure project success and enables you to make better
tactical and strategic decisions. Whatever project you're managing, whether
it's in the office, manufacturing plant, or on the construction site, it's
critical to understand the value of risk management. In this workshop the
concept of risk will be explored and then linked with project management.
You'll learn tools and techniques for identifying risks and understand
common risk factors and triggers. By using both qualitative and quantitative
methods to prioritize risks and risk impact, you'll learn how to assess
risks to your project, as well as cost, schedule and quality. You'll also
learn how to develop a risk response plan, and monitor and control risks
throughout the project life cycle. Note: Basic Project Management or the
approval of the instructor is a prerequisite for this workshop. (This is
part of the Project Management Certificate Program, but you do not need to
enroll in the program to take this workshop.)

a.m.-4 p.m., check-in 8:30 a.m., Alumni Center 1925 Room, .6 CEUs, $245 ,
lunch included
This one-day conference is designed for individuals who are
newly promoted to the supervisor's role or who wish to gain knowledge and
skills that will enhance their professional skills as a supervisor. Four
sessions will be offered, two in the morning and two in the afternoon. They
are: (1)Six Secrets of Supervisory Success. Session Description: Are you
concerned that people will not find you credible? Do staff guilt you into
making exceptions or ask you to share confidential information? Are you
apprehensive or hesitant when subordinates question your decisions? If you
answered yes to any of these questions this session is for you. Great
supervisors are not born; they learn, practice and develop their skills over
time. In this session discover six secrets of supervisory success that, with
practice and development, will catapult you and your team to performance
excellence. Presenter: Lynne Richards. (2) Understanding Work Styles:
Enhancing Communication and Meeting Effectiveness. Session Description: Do
you ever wonder why some people are so stuck on numbers or budgets?
Conversely, are you ever frustrated because people don't take their budgets
seriously? Are you confused when people value rules and regulations over
individual needs? Or are you concerned that others don't seem to understand
the seriousness of the business we are in? Using a skills assessment, you
will identify your interpersonal strengths and preferred behavioral style.
In this session you'll also examine these questions as well as how different
work styles affect communication and behavior in meetings. As a result,
you'll have an increased understanding and ability to work with people with
different styles, and be better able to reduce conflict, improve
communication, and have effective meetings. Presenter: Lynne Richards. (3)
Goal Setting. Session Description: Goal setting is an essential part of the
management process--it's difficult to measure success if we haven't first
defined it. In this session you will learn how to create specific,
measurable, achievable goals. You'll learn how to use those goals to
motivate yourself and others, and how to incorporate goal-setting into the
performance review process. Find out when to include others in setting goals
and when to go it alone. Finally, you'll be able to link specific goals to
larger objectives and ultimately, to your vision of success. Presenter:
Theresa Locacio George. (4) Motivating Others. Session Description: Are you
finding it difficult to keep your group motivated? Research indicates that
while money is important to employees, it doesn't always motivate them.
Learn what does, and what you can do to make the most of those factors. You
will learn what most employees find motivating and de-motivating, what
motivates specific types of employees, and how to use motivators that really
work. Presenter: Theresa Locacio George.
