PDI Management Seminars: Great companies seed their success by relentlessly building talent. The management role has never been an easy one and it is more difficult in a rapidly changing and volatile business world. In the new and lean workplace, front-line professionals are entrusted with unprecedented responsibility. This means greater opportunities for achievers who can lead, seize the moment, master risks and get the best value out of their limited time. But the greatest opportunities do not come readily. Missed opportunities abound. Many intelligent and hard-working professionals lack the leadership skills essential for the current tough business world.
Armed with new expertise and entrepreneurial skills gained through our seminars, entrepreneurs, executives and professionals have expanded their horizon and created unprecedented business value for their respective organizations. Our aim is to continue to deliver the skill training required by our clients to compete and grow globally.
Harvard University Global System (HUGS): Knowledge, technology and change are the seeds and levers for unparalleled opportunities.
HUGS Collection is a library of decision-support instruments (management road maps, posters, working forms and checklists for entrepreneurs, executives and professionals). It guarantees superior value to users when compared to current tools and technologies.
Harvard Road Maps are genuine management materiel based on extensive research and experience. They offer a proven template and practical methodology for preparing business plans, formulating a strategy,
managing risk and time and realizing goals. Both the laminated and the framed posters are so attractive, they can fit in a boardroom, a learning centers or an office. So far, four posters are available: From Vision and Strategy to Value Extraction (Business - Government versions), Risk Management and Time Management. HUGS Management Templates speed-up the planning process and enhance the productivity of managers and professionals, be they tackling big-ticket items or day-to-day work. Subjected to extensive field tests, HUGS management templates are potent fact-finding tools to speed up "days to market" and rigorously investigate complex opportunities by making rewards and risks explicit. The Strategy Checkerboard is a creativity tool that helps users seek a complete panorama of strategic choices with less guesswork. It widens the window through which we view opportunities. With the Checkerboard, we can organize our thinking process and break down the barriers to innovation – at every step along the value chain. Even when the strategy is clear, its execution can be fraught with perils. That is why the tool also provides a step-by-step scenario to help users reduce implementation risk and reduce resistance to change.
The Negotiator mandate, Project Manager Charter and the Change Definition Grid provide the road map to establish a clear mandate with valid objectives and deliverables, adequate resources, verifiable performance indicators and a sound evaluation system. They include a framework to identify and manage risks related to the conditions beyond management control.
The Responsibility Chart helps users assign roles and accountability in a team. It mitigates the risks related to responsibility and veto and facilitates negotiation. It has been proven equally useful in preventing conflicts, managing transitions, reorganizations and job analysis.
The Harvard Time Log permits users to quickly analyze where their time goes. A comprehensive checklist helps them draw timesaving lessons and take corrective action.
HUGS Management Templates are the result of extensive research and are consider
