8:00 – 6:00
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.

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 TWO MAIN CONFERENCE | TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2013
7:30 Registration & Continental Breakfast
8:00 Opening Remarks from the Conference Chair
Chuck Millhollan, Director of Program Management,
CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED
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
regeneration of one of what was and in some areas still is, the
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.

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.

CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED
8:45 KEYNOTE:Lessons in Leadership and Creating
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
becoming a High Performing Organization.
9:45 Networking Break
10:15 KEYNOTE: 20 NeuroLeadership Insights

William Greenwald, Director,
Performance Coaching and Advisory Practice,
HUMANA INC

everything YOU ever wanted to know about
how leaders and project managers can leverage Brain Science
to sustain optimal performance. Leading up to the event,
PW&WCBA attendees have the unique opportunity to co-create
the content of William’s presentation. Attendees can post their
specific questions, or build off the questions of their peers. At
the event, William will spend the entire hour answering YOUR
most relevant, pressing questions. Real questions lead to real
insights, which results in real value.
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.

Is a PMP Needed, or is it Simply an
Option?
Ken Bono Jr., Manager, Project Management
Office, SCOTTRADE
Given we all have risks listed availability of
resources as a concern, this presentation will
provide some key insights on helping your Project
Managers gain back time, increase their efficiency
and thus, increase their bandwidth. This in turn
will allow their respective PMO’s to allocate more
projects per PM.
Developing Business Analysis Expertise
in Your Organization
Matthew W. Leach, Director, Business Analysis
Practice, NTT DATA INC
In today’s complex business environment, there
is urgency for results and an increasing need to
“get-it-right-the-first-time”. Organizations have
responded by recognizing the need for business
analysts; however few provide the support
business analysts require to consistently achieve
success. The solution, provide business analysts
of all skill levels with methodology, tools, training
and mentoring business analysts require to grow
within their organization and the profession. This
presentation shares NTT DATA’s experiences
and lessons learned from growing their Global
Business Analysis Practice and establishing BA
expertise for their clients.
Project Spotlight Framework of
Architecture, Integration and Security:
OUC Brings a Layer of Design Authority
in its Projects
Hedi Ago, President, PMI Central Florida
Chapter and Manager, Major Project Delivery
and Governance, Orlando Utilities Commission,
OUC THE RELIABLE ONE
The pitfalls of many projects is it’s ever growing
challenge that comes with underlying framework—
infrastructure, integration and security. Typically
all of the pieces of the projects are highly tangible
to the PM but when it comes to infrastructure,
integration and security things get lost in the
complexity. OUC has decided to pursue a
concentration on these verticals outside of its
PMO and introduced the area called Project
Design Authority.
Cloud, Mobile, Social, NoSQL and
Big Data: What These Emerging
Technologies Mean to Product and
Project Managers and Business Analysts
Srini Penchikala, Editor, INFOQ

have been getting a lot of attention for last few
years. These include Social, Mobile and Cloud
Computing, NoSQL Databases, and Big Data.

these technologies mean to product and project
management leadership and why it is critical to
understand where they fit in the new product
development lifecycle and architecture models.
