At Regroove, we were early adopters of Microsoft Teams and long time fans of Microsoft SharePoint. Over the course of several years, Regroove has fine tuned a model for empowering teams, internal projects, and client’s projects by making MS Teams and MS SharePoint work in harmony; all the while reflecting and supporting the company’s culture. In this presentation we will provide the framework we use and examples of how we make IT work.

Leadership in Crisis: Managing Projects in Your Operations

 

SYNOPSYS

In this presentation, "Leadership in Crisis: Managing Projects in Your Operations", Dr. Dominguez will have you imagine a point of crisis and the phenomenological response that occurs when you emerge from a liminal space with courage. ​

He will ground the scope of projects within operations and align them with the organization’s strategy before contrasting some well-known pre-crisis leadership styles with crisis leadership styles, and then challenge you to build resilience before a crisis occurs.
