Description

The seminar focused on the early stages of a project, typically the most difficult for many organizations. Topics included: structuring the project kick-off; aligning project stakeholders, properly assessing risk, managing meetings and developing comprehensive business requirements. The session was attended by representatives from 13 New Jersey community and commercial banks. Attendees were quite satisfied, as noted in their responses -- "very informative with realistic objectives; kept the group motivated for the length of the seminar"; "the information was very helpful"; "points were well-covered, brought real-life situations into focus; enough time for individual questions". Follow-on sessions now being planned for the organization will address topics that range from managing risk in projects and turning business requirements into the real thing, to project communications and conducting a post-implementation review.
