Dear Colleagues,
In producing this event, we had the privilege of speaking with a whole host of project leaders and
business analysts to better understand the evolving challenges you face. Our goal was to translate
these challenges into a solution you have come to count on year after year. The result is a program
that provides practical professional development to help you accelerate best practice
and become more valuable to your entire organization.
It was overwhelming to hear the resounding plea for hearing real world stories of “How does what I do
relate to the broader enterprise?” This became the foundation for building the 2013 agenda and we
believe this event will transform managers into true leaders.
bridges the gap between theory and practice by championing
and celebrating the role of the PM and BA as true contributors to the
overall business with specific examples of how and why, and new ideas
to help you achieve even more.
Join us and know that you are investing in yourself and your career.

Retooling Leadership (through the lens of Neuroscience)
William Greenwald, Director, Performance Coaching and Advisory Practice, HUMANA INC.
Based on William’s soon to be released book (by the same title), William will immerse participants into the world of “functional” neuroscience utilizing levity and
brevity as his guide. Specific focus will be aligned to show how leaders and Project Managers can leverage brain science to secure and sustain optimal levels of performance
within their organizations and within their own levels of performance (both personally and professionally). Participants will explore numerous foundational aspects of brain
science such as habit formation, stress management, personal resilience (for all ages), memory, and sleep/fatigue. Through experiential discovery and application, all
attendees will leave with numerous insights and “A-ha” moments; culminating in the creation of a unique, behaviorally-based action plan geared towards “actionizing” these
new insights immediately upon leaving the workshop.

Ellen Gottesdiener, Founder, Principal Consultant,
EBG CONSULTING, INC
Ainsley Nies, PMP, ACP, CSM, CSPO, Principal,
ACORN CONSULTING ENTERPRISES
Project managers and business analysts need to
respond effectively to change and complexity in the
way product development works today. Learn about the
Agile project life cycle, the work that project managers
and analysts do, and understand how Agile teams
collaborate to deliver value. Get acquainted with core
Agile practices, and learn techniques you can apply
right now to your projects.
IT PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
A Business Focused IT PMO
— Oxymoron or Revolutionary
Concept?
Rodney Kruse, PMP, Senior IT Portfolio Manager,
THE BOEING COMPANY
Years of evolving corporate policies, processes, and
technology have culminated in what could only be
imagined years ago: an IT Project Management Office
(PMO) that actually places business value on par with
technology advancement! There is tremendous value to
be found at the intersection of business and technology
but you must navigate carefully and avoid the many
roadblocks to reach your final destination. In this session
you will receive:
• The Packing List: The essential items will you need in
order to begin your trip
• The Map: The directions (including known detours)
that will ensure you can complete the journey
• The Welcome Package: You’ve finally reached the
destination and now you will want to take advantage of
all the amenities!
RISK
RISK MANAGEMENT
Developing a Risk Management
Culture for Business Analysts and
Project Managers
Scott Reynolds, PMP, PMI-RMP, Vice President,
Senior Project Manager, BANK OF AMERICA
Many organizations face significant challenges in finding
the right balance between project risk management and
delivering project results quickly. Often, priority is given
to issues management, rather than risk management,
and we find ourselves spending time trying to build
support for our project risk management activities. This
highly interactive workshop will equip you with tools and
strategies to create and develop an environment that is
supportive of risk management at your company, which
will allow you to spend more time on identifying and
managing risk.
HALF DAY
WORKSHOPS
Register for the Workshop of your choice. You must select one Workshop and may not move between them throughout the morning.
It’s hard to find a multi-dimensional conference that applies to all aspects of Program,
Portfolio and Project Management & Business Analysis. PW&WCBA achieves just that.
Sessions were full of substantive content that were a great learning experience.

DAY ONE SUMMITS | MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2013
1:00 Chairperson's Remarks
1:05 The Value of Diversity: Increasing
the Odds for Success in Decision
Making
Joy Toney, Manager – IT, ALSAC/
ST JUDE CHILDREN’S RESEARCH
HOSPITAL
Mario Simmons, Director– IT, ALSAC/
ST JUDE CHILDREN’S RESEARCH
HOSPITAL
In many organizations, there is a familiar
root cause to failed projects or initiatives. In
your environment, you’ve probably heard
the statement “We just didn’t have the right
people involved.” These failures can occur
at all levels of the organization. A common
thread amongst these failures points to
a flawed thought process amongst those
involved in the decision. Attendees should
be warned that conventional perspectives
on diversity may be challenged. Audience
members are encouraged to actively
participate during the session. Door prizes
will be available.
2:30 Leading Virtual Teams in 2012:
A Successful Methodology
Paul A. Capello, PMP, Program
Management Consultant,
RGP HEALTHCARE
Without a formal methodology for remote
teams, performance of the team will degrade
and strategic objectives will suffer. To get
around this unfortunate fact of life, you need
to employ a group of continuous reporting
tools, metrics and practices for teams to be
cognizant of their progress or lack thereof.
At RGP Healthcare, the Program Manager
provides this direction. Virtual teams are
led with precision based tools and metrics
to measure these efforts. This presentation
will present how we do it and how it can be
applicable to your world!
3:30 Networking Break
4:00 Successful Projects Across
Borders: How to Achieve Team
Unity
Malgorzata Kusyk, PMI Poland, Senior
Project Manager, THOMSON REUTERS
“For a German and a Finn, the truth is the
truth. In Japan and Britain it is all right if it
doesn’t rock the boat. In China there is no
absolute truth. In Italy it is negotiable” —
Richard D. Lewis. Today’s project leaders are
challenged to create a global environment
that every person’s best talents contribute at
full force. An interactive journey of a Project
Manager from Eastern Europe to become
globe smart.
5:00 My Global Project Team is Not
United…What Did I Do Wrong?
Edward Wisniewski, PMP CSCP,
Global Clinical Supply Project Manager,
SHIRE HGT
The leadership of a project team has it
challenges. These challenges increase
when the team becomes both a global team
and a virtual team. The project manager or
business analyst must process business
acumen to lead the project. They must
take into account the time zone challenges
and the business culture of each country
represented on the team.
6:00 Summit Concludes
1:00 Chairperson's Remarks
Ellen Gottesdiener, Founder, Principal
Consultant, EBG CONSULTING, INC
1:05 Business and IT Alignment: Turning
Agility into a Reality
Robert Woods, IT Project Manager, Agile
Coach/Trainer, AARON’S, INC.
It doesn’t matter if you have been using
Agile for 1 year or 10 years; getting business
and IT alignment is a constant struggle. It
doesn’t matter what your industry is or where
your teams reside. As project leaders, we
are battling generations’ of stereotypes
surrounding IT as unable to deliver and
lacking business or market knowledge.
You cannot be truly Agile unless this gap
is bridged! It takes more than just team
activities and performance reviews to get
results in today’s changing world of solutions
delivery. Hear practical techniques Agile
teams use to obtain true alignment between
IT and business stakeholders. Learn ways
to create excitement in the culture and
landscape of your company and ways to
drive change that shakes the pillars of your
organization!
2:00 Agile Project Chartering:
Positioning Projects For Success
Ainsley Nies, Principal, ACORN
CONSULTING ENTERPRISES
How a project begins has a profound
influence on how it proceeds. Projects
that begin with a shared understanding of
expectations across the project community
are more likely to proceed effectively and
succeed. Learn how Agile project chartering
elicits agreed intentions, recognizable
boundaries, principles that will guide
interactions, and a prospective analysis of
the challenges that lie ahead.
3:00 Networking Break
3:30 Got Value? A Practical, Sustainable
Value Model for Making Agile
Product Decisions
Ellen Gottesdiener, Principal Consultant
and Founder, EBG CONSULTING, INC.
“Value” is the beacon, watchword, end
game, justification, and mantra for Agile
practitioners. You make product decisions
at every turn throughout discovery and
delivery based on value, balancing multiple
considerations and perspectives. And
yet many agile teams struggle to clearly,
concisely, and continually use value as the
basis for making decisions about which
backlog items to pull and plan for. Join Ellen
to explore the business value model—a
lightweight framework for collaboratively and
continually identifying stakeholder values
and making value-based decisions on what
to build, and when.
4:30 Transitioning to Agile in Large
Organizations: Pragmatic Lessons
from the Real World
Laura O’Brien, Senior IT Director,
TRAVELERS’ ENTERPRISE
CAPABILITIES OFFICE
Distributed global teams, constraints of “Big
Legacy” applications, large-scale programs,
regulated industry. Do any of these describe
your organization? The transition to Agile
in large organizations is both an exciting
opportunity and a daunting challenge. Hear
lessons learned in the journey at Travelers
and real-word considerations for becoming
more Agile.

8:15 KEYNOTE: The Delivery of the 2012 Summer
Olympic Games and Legacy
Ralph Luck, former Property Director,
UK OLYMPIC DELIVERY AUTHORITY
(LONDON 2012 OLYMPICS)
Ralph, the former Property Director of the
Olympic Delivery Authority will explain the
thinking behind the Masterplan and delivery of the Olympic
Park, Village and the Venues for the Games and in Legacy
use. In particular, he will demonstrate how the permanent
elements have acted as the catalyst to the long term sustainable

most deprived areas in London.
9:15 Networking Break
9:30 KEYNOTE: The Business Case for Project and
Portfolio Management and its Link to Strategy
Execution: Convincing the Value to your CEO
Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez, Head of Transversal
Portfolio Management, BNP PARABIS
FORTIS, Author, THE FOCUSED
ORGANIZATION
This presentation is based on years of research
in project management and a concept that Antonio has
developed in his book: “The Focused Organization” (www.
thefocusedorganization.com). The presentation will show a new
way of looking at the value of project and portfolio management
and its link to strategy execution. It proves why project
management is often misunderstood and undervalued by senior
executives. It provides participants a different way and strong
arguments of selling their work, project management, PMO,
portfolio management to their senior management/executives. It
addressed the participants directly with concrete examples that
they can use both in their professional and personal lives—and
all filled in with many real stories from all his years working in
project and portfolio management.
10:30 Speed Mentoring
You’ve participated in the YOURSPACE sessions and
have experienced SPEED networking at various events. What
we’ve done is combine the two to sharpen skill building on very
particular and highly specific developmental requirements.
Similar in format to speed networking, you will move from table
to table when the bell rings – the difference is you will have the
opportunity to spend time with experts who will help accelerate
your individual learning. Here you will channel the brilliance of
a room full of PM and BA professionals. This activity leverages
the collective knowledge and expertise of all participants.
Get inspired by the ideas of your fellow attendees during this
interactive SPEED MENTORING activity. Sample topics include
but are not limited to: risk schedule management, negotiation,
configuration management, root cause analysis, managing
across time zones, expert project engineering, managing to data
storage.

Beyond Risk Management: From Risk
Mitigation to Value Creation
Ronan J. Murphy, Head of Risk Management,
RAILWAY PROCUREMENT AGENCY
This is a case study from the client risk manager’s
perspective. It describes the complete project
lifecycle of a highly complex, multi-billion
dollar portfolio of projects—how the project
risk management process matured over a ten
year project lifecycle; how this process was
then tailored to create a successful Enterprise
Risk Management process to support ongoing
operations; and how a three tiered Corporate Risk
Management process has achieved significant
benefits during the first eight years of operation.

It’s the Goal, Not the Role: Work of
Project Management and Business
Analysis in Agile
Ellen Gottesdiener, Principal Consultant and
Founder, EBG CONSULTING, INC
On Agile projects, what happens to the project
manager and business analyst roles? How do
these traditional roles align with those in Scrum
or other lean/agile methods? What skills are
the same, and what is changed? Join us to
explore these questions, hear how traditional
PM and BA roles have been transformed to
Agile in organizations Ellen has coached, and
consider progressive ways to improve yourself
professionally—even if you aren’t actively working
on an Agile project.
Developing Practical Measures & Metrics
Marie Steele, PMP, PHR, Senior Project
Manager, THE BOEING COMPANY
Alex Chen, MBA, PMP, Senior Project Manager,
THE BOEING COMPANY
There is a common saying that “you get what you
measure”. However, when it comes to projects, we
often end up measuring things that are traditional,
simple or comfortable instead of taking the time
to think through and develop meaningful metrics.
This presentation will cover some well-known basic
metrics such as Earned Value Methodology (EVM),
as well as ideas for metrics that can be used to
evaluate other dimensions, such as scope, quality,
risks, stakeholder expectations, etc. Examples will
be provided of metrics developed, and processes
used, in response to real needs within Boeing.

together a plan and execute a turnaround of a
global enterprise program that is more than a
year late and the company is spending more than

BA 20/20 – Creating a Discrete Vision
and Goals to Transform Your Practice
Hans Eckman, VP, Technology Workstream
Manager, Enterprise Information Services,
SUNTRUST BANK
In “Good to Great”, Jim Collins found that the
best companies set Big Hairy Audacious Goals

improvement to the BA role and processes
• Understand how quantifiable goals are critical to
improvement efforts
• Discuss and critique this approach as a viable
path for organizational change management.

High Performing Teams
Carey Lohrenz, U.S. NAVY’s First Female F-14
Fighter Pilot and Team-Building, Leadership
and Strategy Expert
Carey Lohrenz knows what it takes to win in one
of the highest pressure, extreme environments
imaginable: in the cockpit at Mach 2, as the first female F-14
Tomcat Fighter Pilot in the U.S. Navy, having flown missions
worldwide as a combat-mission-ready United States Navy pilot,
Lohrenz is used to working in fast moving, dynamic environments,
where inconsistent execution can generate catastrophic results.
The same challenges are found in business—and most successful
leaders share a common foundation of principles used from the
flight deck to the front office. The processes of Planning, Briefing,
Debriefing and Adjusting help businesses manage risk while

11:15 KEYNOTE: Embracing Change: Transforming Ideas
and Challenges into Opportunities
Naomi Karten, Author, Presentation Skills
for Technical Professionals, Changing
How You Manage and Communicate
Change, Gaps and How to Close Them
and Managing Expectations
Why do project managers, department managers and even
senior managers have such difficulty managing change? The
reality is that people at all levels, from individual contributors
to senior executives, are often guilty of flawed practices when
implementing change. Most seriously, many ignore, trivialize,
or fail to understand the human element: the impact of the
change on the people affected. Join Naomi and learn some
critical management and communication practices that will help
you successfully introduce change, manage change efforts,
and cope with change when you’re on the receiving end. In
this serious, yet lighthearted presentation, Naomi will describe
the stages people go through in reacting to and adjusting to
change. You’ll learn the importance of reducing the duration and
intensity of the turbulence associated with change, and you’ll
gain insight into how to do it.

concentration on these verticals outside of its
PMO and introduced the area called Project

Business Simulations: From GREAT to
GOOD!
Razvan Radulian, MBA, Certified Business
Analyst, OCEB, PMP, Independent Business
Consultant and Trainer/Coach, WHY-WHAT-
HOW CONSULTING, LLC
[The Great] For a very long time, business
consultants and tool vendors have advocated
that process simulations would deliver exciting
benefits. For an equally long time, once sold on
the idea, practitioners discovered that simulations
failed to deliver on that promise. Various reasons
were invoked: level of required expertise/
training, complete data needed to run simulations,
expensive tools, etc. This presentation will
cover the myths and perceptions surrounding
simulations, along with a pragmatic approach to
deliver the promised benefits [The Good], without
losing your shirt on the way to success.
