At some point in our careers, we have all attempted to tackle projects that were actual elephants. We get lost, overwhelmed, frustrated and impatient. Frankly, we want to bury our head in the sand and hope the project disappears. We bite off more than we can chew and we get choked up. To sum it all up: We fail. We don't finish. The project flops. It doesn't have to. Whether you're taking on a project solo, or working with a team, you're likely coming to grips with the eating of an elephant. There a steps you can take to find success. It starts with chilling out. In this session, attendees will learn how to take a deep breath and use the right techniques to take on that elephant, one bite at a time.]]>

The (current) wikipedia definition for digital transformation is: “changes associated with the application of digital technology in all aspects of human society.” That definition perfectly describes the unification of the NC.Gov’s 12 different agencies as part of the Digital Commons project. Some might mistakenly refer to this project as a website redesign, but a redesign typically focuses on only one brand and one website. What Atlantic BT’s team faced with the NC.Gov project was a landscape of multiple brands, multiple websites, and the views of multiple stakeholders for each agency. The NC.Gov website had become such a maze that the public was opting out of using any of its online resources at all. The state of North Carolina understood it needed a unified approach from perspectives of branding, governance, content, and navigation. They also needed help to determine the best platform to accommodate their multiple site administrators and contributors. This kind of Digital Transformation goes beyond a new website design. It goes to the heart of the connection between people and technology. It’s the story of a state government following its mandate to serve the needs of every citizen, non-profit, and business in North Carolina.]]>

Most organizations have service agreements. NC.gov has a mandate: to serve every citizen, non-profit and business in the State of North Carolina. NC.gov was struggling to meet these demands. While all the information one might need was available somewhere within NC.gov's network of agency websites, finding it was challenging. NC.gov broblem was a crisis of usability. As a result, many visitors were frustrated and opted to call agency offices directly, which resulted in slower response times and even more frustration. NC.gov was also on the search for an internal transformation within the state that may change how agencies work together, and how they think about their content and the services they provide to the public. NC.gov needed a transformation. A transformation in design, user experience and technology infrastructure that would better serve its audience. ]]>

Project Managers live and die by meetings. We are in charge of controlling the pace and tone of the room. We have to be able to identify when a meeting is going off the rails, and know how to bring it back around. We've all experienced poorly organized meetings, but we have the power to change this. We have the power to stop the negative connotation that surrounds meetings. We do this, by understanding how to successfully run a meeting. Consider this topic bar rescue of meetings. It will bring about a lively discussion. As a group we'll walk through meeting nightmares. How could we have improved the situation? As a group we can break apart and role play meeting scenarios. We'll use helpful tips to bring a meeting back around. THIS SESSION WILL COVER: How to deal with the one man show When electronics should be allowed during a meeting Changing the tone of a meeting By the end of this session, each attendee should be able to walk away with a checklist on how to stop having meetings that suck. Each person should become a Meeting Whisperer.]]>
