You have followed the course, passed the exam and are now a proud owner of an ITIL certificate. But what do you do next, how do you actually apply ITIL on a daily basis? ITIL is created to adopt and adapt, to tailor to your organisation, but that is easier than said. That is why we invited a speaker to share a real casestudy.

During this fourth session, we invited ITIL user Alexander Vinokurov to share a case study of how ITIL is being used to improve the cooperation between ICT and business at Lineas ICT. He will present the following case:

How ITIL 4 has helped Lineas ICT to professionalize and get into a better co-creation game with Business

The ITIL User Group event is aimed at those with profound experience with ITIL (v3 or 4). It is highly encouraged to share your own experiences/challenges with ITIL.

QRP has assisted many professionals and their organization in setting up and running a PMO. Following a training is a first step in getting inspired. Translating this inspiration into practice is the second step and in traditional training, this is not part of a course and each delegate is left alone.

• Expert: Serge Schiltz – President of ecoHERMES,
  Claudia Kary – Associate Professor Business School Lausanne,
  Consultant and Assessor for Project Management

In 2019 the master’s students of the Business School of Lausanne under the management of their professor, Claudia Kary, executed a survey in the hospital sector that revealed a close correlation between the existence of a Project Management standard within an organisation and their level of maturity.

PRINCE2 and Hermes were the two standards mostly used by Swiss hospitals. Hospitals, which used either standard as their project management backbone had a higher overall maturity than those not applying any standard.

A follow-on online workshop with several hospitals after the first wave of the pandemic furthermore revealed changed needs in project management. Because of the necessity to react quickly, organisations adopted agile ways of working.
However, not being able to work in close contact with your colleagues was named as a big obstacle in “agile” projects.

In line with these events, QRP, in association with ecoHermes and Claudia Kary, decided to organize a further online event. The event aims to present the main points of the survey and workshop, focusing mainly on the HERMES methodology, and to create a space where professionals have the opportunity to give their own personal contributions.

About the event

We invited a group of experts to discuss Project Management related topics.
The event is divided into three pillars:

1. Survey & Workshop Outcomes – about 20 minutes
Presentation of the outcomes of the survey and workshops, covering the topics of project management maturity in relation to methodologies such as HERMES before and during the pandemic period

2. Panel Discussion – about 30 minutes
Free space dedicated to questions, comments and topics proposed by attendees.

3. ProfeoMAS – about 10 minutes
How a Project Management maturity assessment can support you in identifying adequate actions to further improve your project management.

Why attend this event?

In this webinar, you will learn about the impact that the application of HERMES or PRINCE2 has on the success of projects. A survey conducted in the Swiss health sector before the occurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic, combined with a recent follow-up illustrates how crucial project management capabilities are in times of crisis.

You will learn how a project management maturity assessment is applied to an organization and how you can improve processes based on collected data and expertise from specialists in the field.

There will be room for intense discussions after the two presentations. Contribute with your experience of the last year of the pandemic, discuss with professionals in your field and get interesting insights into how methodologies can help your daily work and project management.

Holding the PMP certification is like winning the golden medal of project management. Within the field of project management being PMP certified is the ultimate goal. PMP is not a methodology, but an approach to project management in general. Getting PMP certified is not easy and asks for perseverance. However, both you and your organisation will gain immensely in knowledge, experience and expertise.

If PMP is correctly implemented it can solve many different types of PM related problems. However, how to implement PMP, how to use the different processes and how to reach the expected outcomes, are frequently asked questions. We invited a group of experts to discuss PMP related topics divided into three pillars:

• Implementation of PMP and related practices
• PMP and Agility
• The new PMBoK (7th edition) and the new PMP exam

The experts will discuss amongst each other, but we also ask the audience to interact. Your questions are not only welcome, they are needed to make this an interactive event.

Curious about the PMP certification? Don’t hesitate and join us online!

You have followed the course, passed the exam and are now a proud owner of an ITIL certificate. But what do you do next, how do you actually apply ITIL on a daily basis? ITIL is created to adopt and adapt, to tailor to your organization, but that is easier than said. That is why we invited an expert to share a real casestudy.

During this third session, we invited ITIL expert Joost Bertrem to share a case study of the appliance of ITIL 4. He will share his experience and answer any questions you may have. We hope that this case study shows how versatile ITIL 4 is and how easily it can be applied to make fast improvements.

Topic:
ITIL4 embraces in its framework new ways of working such as Lean. This was inevitable in order to create services and value streams in a digital economy. Rigid processes have to be adapted to address the challenges of a changing business environment which can be volatile and uncertain. In this webinar we demonstrate how you can create lean value streams. We do this in a pragmatic way by using a real life case.

The ITIL User Group event is aimed at those with profound experience with ITIL (v3 or 4). It is highly encouraged to share your own experiences/challenges with ITIL.
