Abstract:
Have you ever wondered why navigating difficult situations with managing projects seems to be a breeze for some people? It could be related to highly developed emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence - also referred to as emotional quotient or EQ - is the awareness of one's own emotions and the emotions of others, and the capability to manage those emotions to achieve desirable outcomes. Join us for a fun and engaging workshop as we dive into the four components of emotional intelligence and practice some techniques anyone can use to develop their own EQ.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the components of EQ
• Self-assessment of EQ level
• Learning activities for improving EQ

The Mergers & Acquisitions PMO

The world of mergers & acquisitions is exciting and dynamic, requiring strong project leadership for success.  The lifecycle of a transaction broadly includes identifying the target, signing a term sheet, performing due diligence and, finally, integrating the target company. This interactive session will explore the Integration Management Office (IMO), a close cousin to the PMO, which drives that final step of knitting two organizations together. We will compare and contrast the two offices including missions, terminologies, responsibilities, and technologies.

Learning objectives:

• Understand why the IMO exists
• Learn M&A terminology
• Explore similarities & differences between PMO & IMO
• Review how to apply PMO skills in M&A integrations
