Join us on Tuesday, August 16th at 6pm, for our monthly meeting and presentation. Members from the San Fernando Valley (706) and Channel Cities (709) sections will participate, and guests are welcome.Our speaker will be Ahn Dao Pham. Ahn will speak on 'How to influence cross-functional teams to drive alignment on goals and process'.Abstract: Leaders in Quality are challenged daily with the daunting task of driving alignment among cross-functional teams to adopt new goals and processes in order to successfully deliver projects. Those seeking advice can find many books on project management, and even more books on leadership. However, very few resources combine the practice of both into one balanced approach. In addition, while there are many resources available on leading when you are at the top of an organization, not many explain how to lead from the middle where the majority of project leadership takes place. This presentation will help fill that void. Whether you are aiming to influence cross-functional team members, gain alignment, or garner buy-in for a new process to ensure that your projects meet quality standards, this talk is for you.
