Program Synopsis:
Many companies across various industries are increasingly incorporating Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) or Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria into their business practices. They often expect their suppliers and partners to adhere to similar criteria and may conduct audits or assessments to ensure compliance with those criteria. Examples of companies that prioritize this initiative are Microsoft, Starbucks, JPMorgan Chase, Nike, Patagonia, Google, Apple etc.
One of the pathways to achieve social accountability compliance is through SA8000 certification which encompasses similar principles as CSR and ESG. The SA8000 standard is based on the principles of international human rights norms, including the International Labour Organization (ILO) conventions, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
The SA8000 Standard is the world’s leading Social Accountability Certification Program. The SA8000 Standard (ver. Jun 2014) and certification system provide a framework for organizations of all types, in any industry, and in any country to conduct business in a way that is fair and decent for workers. It helps organizations manage their social performance programs and demonstrate commitment to human rights and worker well-being. The SA8000 standard was developed by Social Accountability International (SAI), an affiliate of the Council on Economic Priorities Accreditation Agency (USA).

FREE TALK | Machine Learning-based Integrated Earned Value Method
Registration: By Dr Pang Der-Jiun, PhD, PMP, PMI-ACP, ITIL, CITPM, COBIT, AWS-CLP
Program Synopsis:
IT project success rate has remained low over the past two decades (The Standish Group, 2015). Significant projects collapsed or partially failed, resulting in considerable losses to many organisations in Malaysia and Singapore (Low & Ling, 2018; Idrus et al., 2019) and worldwide (Rosato, 2018; Jorgensen, 2019). It lacks effective tools and techniques to improve the project success rate (Janssen, 2019). Therefore, a novel machine learning-based integrated earned value method (IEVM) was introduced to increase the IT project success rate. This method serves as an early warning system, allowing project practitioners to identify problematic projects as early as possible in the project lifecycle, providing a window of opportunity to de-risk and get the project back on track.
This 1.5-hour forum aims to share its background and challenges, literature review, and findings through a quantitative survey explaining IEVM in addressing a critical IT project risk factor. Later, IEVM design, experiments, and verification results are shared. This session ends with a discussion by giving an overview of AI, ML, and DL and their potential impacts.

Workshop Synopsis (Abstract)
In the hustle and bustle of modern lives, stress has become a necessity.
Is stress good or bad for us? Does stress free mean “happiness ever-after”? Are we becoming dumber if we have more stress?
How can we build a healthy relationship with stress?
It starts with ABC – A, it’s about having full Awareness of different types of stress, the consequences, and what level of stress we are facing.

Workshop Synopsis (Abstract)
Introducing a new product to the market is a complex task with potential challenges. One key issue is the lack of comprehensive market research, which can result in a poor understanding of customer needs and ineffective marketing strategies. Fierce competition from established products can make it difficult to gain market share and position the new product effectively. Timing is crucial, and entering the market too early or too late can impact the product’s success. External factors, like economic conditions, also play a role in market readiness. Successfully addressing these challenges requires a well-thought-out strategy, thorough market research, and adaptability to changing conditions.
Integrated Product Development (IPD) is a comprehensive approach that combines cross-functional teams and collaborative processes to streamline and optimise the entire product development lifecycle. The primary benefit of Integrated Product Development (IPD) lies in its ability to enhance efficiency and collaboration throughout the product development process. By integrating cross-functional teams and fostering open communication, IPD accelerates decision-making, reduces time-to-market, and improves the overall quality of the final product. This holistic approach ensures that diverse perspectives are considered, leading to more innovative solutions, minimised errors, and, ultimately, greater success in delivering products that meet or exceed customer expectations.
In the upcoming one-hour session, we will explore the importance of Integrated Product Development (IPD) by addressing three key questions: Why is IPD necessary? We’ll examine the problem statement. How does IPD benefit us? You’ll gain insights into the advantages of implementing IPD. Furthermore, we’ll discuss a case study centred around Huawei, enabling you to comprehend the practical application of IPD and its real-world impact. By the end of the talk, you’ll be well-equipped to articulate the benefits of IPD and elucidate its specifics using the Huawei case study.
The key learning points and summary take away for the talk includes but not limited to the following;
- WHY? Do we need IPD? Problem statement.
- HOW? How is it benefiting us? You will be able to describe the benefits of IPD implementation.
- WHAT? What is the case study? You will be able to explain the Huawei case study.
- Q&A.

Workshop Synopsis (Abstract)
Hybrid project management is getting more and more attention. Hybrid project management is a technique where high-level project phases are planned using the waterfall approach and project phase work (actual tasks) execution is done the Agile way. It is rather easy to draw conclusions that some of the above-mentioned challenges can be “cured” by combining Agile and Waterfall into one.
The result of the combination is also logical. But achieving that combo is not easy or trivial, hence certain conventions must be established. This takes the flexibility and adaptability of Agile and combines it with the more traditional and rigid approach of Waterfall project management (where tasks are listed in sequential order much like a waterfall). In some ways, yes. However, the benefit of blended project management is that it allows you to get the best of various methodologies. This enables project managers to leverage the strength of their chosen approaches, while also navigating around their weaknesses or potential pitfalls.
In the traditional sense of hybrid project management (meaning, combining Agile with Waterfall project management), projects are planned using the Waterfall approach and a work breakdown structure (WBS). This gives teams a sense of the tasks involved and the overall scope of the project.
However, projects are executed using an Agile method, which leaves enough wiggle room to handle changes and reevaluate after short sprints/iterations. Additionally, hybrid project management is a great way to dip your toe into new approaches. While more and more teams have adapted Agile methodologies (an impressive 71% of organizations have done so), it’s not always intuitive. This hybrid approach is a great way for them to boost their comfort level because it is not such a drastic shift.
While hybrid project management allows you to use the best parts of your chosen project management methodologies, this isn’t without its challenges. Planning a project under two separate methodologies can be tricky, as both approaches may have differing timelines that you will need to do more in-depth planning to ensure all your bases are covered. This sharing session addresses the good practices of hybrid project management and learn how to deal with the challenges to enable project success.
The key learning points and summary take away for the talk includes but not limited to the following;
- Hybrid project management basis
- Current industries practices on hybrid project management
- The good practices on hybrid project management
- Key challenges with hybrid project management

Workshop Synopsis (Abstract)
Most project managers are familiar with the lifecycle and delivery approach, in particular the difference between a predictive project management and an agile project management approach. If you work on construction-type projects then a traditional project management approach is the best to adopt. Similarly, if you work on software development or IT projects then an agile project management approach is the best choice. As a researcher at the university working on product development projects, the choice between these two is a grey area: a situation that is not clear or where the rules are not known.
The goals and solutions of many complex product development projects are not clear. Scopes or specifications are not written in stones or should be completely followed. Working on complex product development projects such as developing a 3D printing system for medical application from scratch is challenging with tons of uncertainties and unknowns. The borderline between agile and predictive is a challenge. Failures are common but project managers must be able to adapt and solve issues one at a time until the project is completed. In this talk, topics on complex projects, product development and lessons learned gained through the years of developing this product will be briefly discussed.

- Project lifecycle and delivery approach

Workshop Synopsis (Abstract)
Stress is part and parcel of life. However, if stress is prolonged or triggered on a long-term basis, it will affect the individual’s personal life, work productivity and even health.
Studies have shown that higher stress scores among the workforce are correlated to lower productivity and this means ineffectiveness in the overall organisation.
As for individual health, unmanaged stress can lead to other health issues like headaches, migraine, cardiovascular disease and even cancer.
Hence stress should not be a concern of the individual themselves alone, but also the organisation. For organisations to perform better, they need to ensure that their people have proper stress management and overall wellness to perform their job.
This is one program that organisations can adopt for their employees so they get to acknowledge and understand what stress is and how they can apply the techniques that they will learn in this program to manage stress at any time, anywhere.
Program objectives
The talk is as follow:
- Introduction
- Understanding stress
- The influence of stress to health and productivity
- Are we stressed?
- Simple screening exercise
- R.A.I.N it
- Recognising and acknowledging stressors
- Managing stress
- Learn a technique from the Silva Method for mental relaxation

Workshop Synopsis (Abstract)
For people who have been in the workforce long enough to find their motivation and passion degraded, it is hard sometimes to regain the momentum and drive to push for the next peak. The mid-career crisis is as real as the mental changes experienced by the teens. Most people just settle for whatever they have achieved, make do with whatever they have and swallow the pills of unrealised potential. The fear of living an unfulfilled life, unbearable boredom of a 9-5 job, and the inner voice of ‘I deserve more than this’ seem like an unsettled inner child who is trying to convey the subtle objection to her parents. The more the parent ignores, the more the inner child rebels. Unfortunately, following the inner child’s voice is not an easy option either. The insecurity of changing the status quo, the unclear vision of the path, and the lack of motivation for change are the causes of holding back for most people living in the crisis. The perpetual conflict is annoying at times. It may spiral into a depression for some people if not approaching it correctly. Fortunately, modern psychology has an excellent solution for those who want to not just free themselves from the inner conflict but to reclaim the potent drive to scale their next peaks.
If you are the person with the nagging inner voice for achieving more because you feel you deserve more and you want more, this talk will open your mind to the new possibilities available to you. If you are willing to play a long-term game for creating a successful career and living a fulfilling life, this talk is designed to equip you with the essential knowledge to start your journey. Drawing on the research findings of the self-determinant theory (SDT) of human motivation and personal experience from deploying the theoretical concepts, the speaker will discuss how autonomy, mastery and connectedness drive human actions from evolutionary perspectives to fulfil the basic human psychological needs. The speaker will also relate the concepts to the core of the teachings of Tony Robbins, a renowned contemporary success coach and the motivation framework proposed by Daniel Pink, an American author in his famous book entitled: Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us.
Program objectives
What will you learn in this talk?
- The Self Determinant Theory (SDT) and why you should pay attention to this prescriptive theory of motivation as compared to descriptive motivation theory such as Maslow’s theory of m
- Understand from the evolutionary biology perspective on what drives human behaviours.
- The difference between Happiness and Fulfilment. Which one should you choose to create a sustaining motivation?
- The key obstacles to happiness and fulfilment in your career and life.
- The key sources of happiness and fulfilment in your career and life.
- Two models of ‘good life’ taught by ancient philosophers and One emerging ‘good life’ model proposed and researched by social scientists.
Who is this talk not for?
- Who wants to learn how to hype themselves in a traditional sense of motivational talk conducted by motivational speakers.
- Who wants the walkthrough of the concrete step-by-step implementation guide to increase your task motivation.
- Action biased people who prefer not to do self-reflection or self-exploration.
- People who prefer a short-term and quick fix approach to career development.
- People who do not intend to spend time on continuous learning of new knowledge for skill acquisition and deployment.

Workshop Synopsis (Abstract)
Each individual engaged in the public or private sector has the potential in bringing values and positive contributions to their company & community they live in. It is valuable & critical for each individual to be provided with the proper guidance & direction on how to be a successful individual. This is to ensure they are able to provide the most optimized contributions & values which in return, will bring great benefit to their own well-being and livelihood.
There is a very logical and yet most of the time “ignored” journey to become a successful individual. Without following the guideline of being successful, sometimes success is achieved by chance; sometimes by luck. With this process, one is able to determine one’s performance with greater control. With that, we are able to sustain our performance and this would be proven by the rewards & recognitions we receive from organizations that we work for. We also want to develop individuals who will be successful with whichever organization they are attached to, hence their performance results are really results of their personality coupled with their efforts and commitment and not due to whom they are working for.
Imagine how successful and powerful an organization would be if everyone in the organization practices & lives the various guidelines to be successful.
This 1.5-hour online sharing is about what the journey to success looks like and what can be done to customize this training program to cater for your organizational needs.
Program objectives
- Understand the Journey To Become A Successful Individual.
- Share details how the program will be run.
- Share/discuss how the program can be customized for individual organizational needs

LJ started her career in the E&E manufacturing industry with Intel in 1988. She started as a Production Planning Officer and within 4 years was promoted as Planning Manager. She made a lateral move to become the Test Manufacturing Manager in 1993 and in the same year, she was certified by Intel as a trainer for “Effective Presentation Skill” class. She has conducted multiple Effective Presentation Skill classes while working in Intel.
Eventually, LJ left the OEM industry in 1995 to join the EMS industry. In the past 27 years (1995 to 2022), LJ has worked in 3 EMS MNC companies. LJ has been exposed to operations; site management & eventually ended as a VP of Quality. LJ has held various functions in her career which reflects the progress that she has made over the years. LJ has held the following functions, Production Manager, Operations Director, Regional Materials Director, General Manager and VP.
In the various roles that LJ has held, LJ has always been active in providing training to her subordinates to improve their performance. The most significant is Operations Training, designed by LJ herself when she was the GM with one of the EMS companies. That training has proven to be effective in developing an effective site management team which has helped to improve the site’s performance from being one of the lowest to being one of the best sites. That training program was improved/enhanced to enable LJ to conduct effective training to support the transformation of quality culture in the company where she worked as the VP of Quality.
In the course of LJ’s career, she has been involved in training & coaching individuals & teams to achieve sustainable success. For most of the individuals, their success was a pleasant surprise to themselves, as they never thought they could achieve such results.

Workshop Synopsis (Abstract):
Employee engagement has emerged as a critical driver of business success in today’s competitive marketplace. High levels of engagement promote retention of talent, foster customer loyalty and improve organizational performance and stakeholder value.
There is a very strong connection between the application of personal strengths and employee engagement. Gallup has demonstrated the relationship in many studies including a dramatic finding on engagement, strengths, and performance: If a manager did not talk with an employee about their performance there was a 40% chance that the employee was disengaged. If a manager only talked about deficiencies and weaknesses, there was a 22% chance the employee was disengaged and if a manager held strength-based conversation there was only a 1% chance of disengagement (Tom Rath). The lack of strength-based conversations are detrimental to performance, engagement, and ultimately organisational results.
This 2-hour online workshop shares about how leaders can increase the awareness of strengths application at work, use strength-based conversation to motivate and inspire employees towards their work, and determine areas of employee engagement that bring higher performance results.
Program objectives:
The key learning points and summary take away for the talk includes but not limited to the following:
-
- Understand the nature and drivers of employee engagement.
- Discuss the relationship between employee strengths, performance and employee engagement.
- Learn 7 areas of Strengthscope® Team Engagement Model.
- Apply strength-based conversation to sustain higher employee engagement.

Workshop Synopsis (Abstract)
Parcel F is the first Malaysian Government mega project to implement BIM (Building Information Modelling) from Design Stage to Facilities Management. A Private Finance Initiative (PFI) project, the construction started in 2016 when BIM adoption was very low and not favourable among the construction industry players. This presented myriad challenges in leading and managing the project.
Despite the BIM challenges and coupled with the project’s complexities and stringent requirements of the Government, Parcel F achieved triumph when it was completed on schedule and delivered remarkable outcomes which is very rare for a mega project.
The implementation of BIM has not only changed the way this project is being constructed but also created a new norm in the construction industry.
The project team has learned to apply highly sophisticated project management skills. There are more than 20,000 construction activities and 60,000 interfaces in the project schedule. Skillsets acquired in leading and managing this large project have created many BIM professionals who will drive innovation in future projects.
The adoption of the BIM Common Data environment had created a veritable common language for all stakeholders. BIM has made a big impact to virtually represent the entire life cycle of Parcel F in an integrated delivery approach.
The 3D model enabled description of building elements and engineering services with elaborate descriptions to the geometry, relationships and property capabilities making an excellent assets and facilities management database.
Parcel F is the catalyst and trendsetter in BIM adoption up to Facilities Management. BIM Model was integrated with comprehensive Asset, Space and Building Data that has enabled and smoothen the Facilities Management team to manage the building operation in accordance with Government Asset Management and maintenance requirements.
This 1.5 hour talk shares the successful application of BIM into the Parcel F project that aims to provide insights on high level changes in the Project Manager’s role. It is a compilation of various articles on how professional PMs will behave and how they strive to win the projects.

When the emotions are not addressed appropriately, mental and physical health are usually affected and diseases follow. In almost all cases, work performance is significantly affected at different levels.
Hence work stress management is an important area where companies or employees could and should look into to improve productivity and efficiency at work place. In this talk, master clinical hypnotherapist Nick Ong will be sharing the nature of stress, how stress is impacting our mental and physical state as well as ways that you could manage work stress.

Project success starts from building a strong teamwork and collative team. The process of team development was essential to collaborating individuals and turning them into productive team. The team development was easy in theory, but in reality, that was a big challenge for the project leader to build relationships among a group of people with a wide diversity of expertise.
Bruce Tuckman proposes 5 stages of group dynamic (forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning) for team development in the 1960s. Role conflicts such as overlapping responsibilities are the most common issues during the forming and storming stage of team development. The efforts of team forming will be wasted if there are conflicts among the team members.
Ineffective communication will never lead the team to success; proper communication could help to increase the ability to perform. Effective communication usually starts with building trust, and the starting point of build trust was building rapport with the team member. A team with high rapport could increase the tendency to communicate openly and create opportunities together. These are the key element to build a successful team and maintain the creative atmosphere within the team.
In this webinar, the framework of building rapport to develop effective communication will be shared. The framework could help the project leader to build the team in a positive group dynamic.
Program objectives:
In this one-hour session, you will learn the following:
-
- The important of Group Dynamic.
- The framework of team communication.
- How To build rapport with your team.

Our brain is the command centre responsible for the peak performance of our body. Akin to a leader of an effective organisation, the brain sends signals and instructions to the rest of the body to ensure optimal functioning and a healthy body. Afterall, a happy life is made up of a healthy mind and body.
Healthy Body + Healthy Mind = Happy Life |
It is habitual that we allow our minds to operate in an automatic mode. We let the commander of our body do its job without putting much thought into the effectiveness of the system in which it is running.
As such, we allow a lot of things happening beyond our control to direct the way our brain responds without auditing to see if better systems can be put in place.
What if there is a possibility to improve the system in which our brain operates?
What if we can help our brain function more desirably and in turn enable ourselves to function more optimally?

Workshop Synopsis (Abstract):
Scrambling through the Movement Control Order or social “locked down” was a whole new experience for all of us whilst our society is now living in the new normal. Covid-19 has changed the fundamental way we live, work and play in an unprecedented manner. It is imperative that service providers in the services sector – hospitality, healthcare, transportation, travelling, e-Commerce, telecommunication, banking and financial, are adjusting and adapting to the new normal.
In this unprecedented market situation, service providers in any essential sector are experiencing tremendous pressure and stringent restrictions (i.e. Movement Control SOP) to operate their business and deliver uninterrupted services to the customers as usual as possible.
This new normal had transformed the market environment where customers expect a “heavenly-king” like experience with safe, secured, hygienic and personalised services delivered where they want, when they want and the way they want.
Today’s customer demands dictate speed of response, ever-changing requirements, bespoke offerings and all of it at scale. Customer service is giving way to customer experience where “service” is no longer a commodity, but the grave “moment of truth.”
The moment of truth is simply any interaction during which a customer may form an impression of your brand, service or product. This impression may be either positive or negative. When the impression is negative, there are lots of opportunity for customers to complain about you or your company. Wouldn’t you, rather they say “how WONDERFUL your company are?”
As a service provider, you are bound to comply with SOPs while delivering your services to customers in a safer, more reliable, better than ever way to keep them HAPPY and be LOYAL to your company. To create the great “moment of truth” for your customers, you need to find a pragmatic solution. The proposed solution is:
DNA for Organisational Service Excellence through Blueprinting

- What is Service Design?
- Why “Service Design”?

- Importance of delivering exceptional great moment-of-truth

Workshop Synopsis (Abstract):
In a normal situation, consumers only buy one product and thus the product must be functioning for its intended usage and specification. This means a product or service supplier to end consumer only get one chance to show their product is of good quality. Therefore, all products sold to the consumer market should achieve zero-defect or a very low defect rate such as six sigma quality which is equal to 3.4 defects in one million parts.
Product with zero defects is a dream of every organization. The next big question would be what it takes to achieve zero defects. In the modern world, the end product which reaches the end-user or consumer goes through a very long supply chain, from mother nature raw material such metal, silicon wafer, petrol chemical by-product to form into piece part assemble into sub-assembly and then join together to become final assembly.
All the touchpoint throughout the supply chain will increase error opportunity which could induce defect in a product.
This evening talk will explore on how an organization is accountable for the defect, touchpoints throughout the supplier chain will increase the error opportunity and whether zero is a reality or myth and what does it take to strive a zero defect quality.

Workshop Synopsis (Abstract):
Do you often make essential personal financial decisions that decide your future life quality? I bet the answer is yes. Do you often get the chance to make important financial decisions at your workplace? Probably not for most of us. Why? Because this privilege is reserved for the few in senior management positions. Those managers who can make the right project investment decisions will reap the most rewards in their corporate career progression.
If you are currently a project manager or technical project manager, do you have the right skill to be your bosses’ trusted advisor? Especially when it comes to making a project proposal during the annual project funneling and selection process? Or you would rather own the charter of being a project manager who took on a poorly formulated approved project and make your life miserable striving to meet the project goals and financial targets.
Are you looking to joining the rank of those senior managers? Are you looking to acquire the essential project investment appraisal skill to boost your career? Please join our talk. We will share the decision tools to assess projects from the financial investment perspective in the session. You will learn how to appraise projects strategically from the angle of a project sponsor. The concepts that you will learn are not part of any knowledge areas in the PMI PMBOK.
In this talk, you will learn the following concepts:
- Business view on project portfolio
- Projects as vehicles of investment
- Projects and company financial goal alignment
- Extended project lifecycle view
- Financial metrics for project investment evaluation

Workshop Synopsis (Abstract):
In a modern society, people in cities live in at a fast pace that emphasize on speed and efficiency. This leaves very little room and space for a person to unwind and return to mental equilibrium and balance which every normal person needs for optimal health. As a result, stress, anxiety along with other emotions arise at a level that often feel overwhelming to the individual. When the emotions are not addressed appropriately, mental and physical health are usually affected and diseases follow. In almost all cases, work performance is significantly affected at different levels.
Hence work stress management is an important area where companies or employees could and should look into to improve productivity and efficiency at work place. In this talk, master clinical hypnotherapist Nick Ong will be sharing the nature of stress, how stress is impacting our mental and physical state as well as ways that you could manage work stress.
The key learning points and summary take away for the talk includes but not limited to the following:
- Identify the costs and benefits of dealing with stress
- Define what stress is and started to recognize the signs of stress
- Understand physiological and emotional effect of stress
- Understand the role of stress in job performance

WORKSHOP SYPNOSIS (Abstract):
Adversities are a part of life. There are increasing challenges, changes and adversities in everyone’s life, and no one is exempted. The need for improved mental, physical and emotional resilience has never been greater, yet our ability to manage pressure seems to have declined.
The big questions are “How do I enhance my ability to respond to life’s complex and unpredictable eventualities as well as business changes and challenges? How do I build mental resilience to sustain my emotional health? How do I empower myself to forge ahead?”
The key to overcoming challenges lies in one’s Adversity Quotient (AQ)
By understanding the concept of Adversity Quotient, we can better understand how and why we and others react to challenges and adversities, and cultivate emotional responsiveness and strong minds and own a significant advantage in all aspects of life.
Your ability to respond to adversity is a strong indicator of your ability to succeed in any endeavor.
Come and learn strategies and mind-tools to increase your Adversity Quotient – your own Personal Code – to develop mental strength, to make meaningful difference in realizing your goals, and solve problems, and claim your destiny.
Indeed, your future is in your hands. Be equipped and stay on top of the Game.

Workshop Synopsis (Abstract):
The coronavirus or COVID-19 has caused significant disruption to our day-to-day lives. Not surprisingly, this brings with it a host of additional stresses and anxieties.
Job or workplace stress may affect not only our quality of life, but our ability to do well in our careers. Many workers suffer from excessive stress and anxiety as a result of various job-related stressors. The importance of learning to reduce and manage workplace stress cannot be ignored especially during this particular time.
Research has shown that it is not the experience of stress that is responsible for it’s acclaimed negative effect on us, but the way we deal perceive stress. For some individuals, stress can lead to positive consequences. In this case, stress is referred to as eustress. Research on eustress shows that when a stressor is being evaluated as positive in terms of its potential implications for well-being, a different psychological and physiological response follows than does a negative assessment. In this case, stress can result in improvement in well-being.
This 2-hour online workshop will provide you with the skills necessary to identify signs and symptoms of stress. The workshop explores your coping strategies and reframe stress into productivity and happiness. In addition, participants will learn how to increase positive emotions, create flow experiences and increase happiness at work.
Program objectives:
- Recognize signs and symptoms of stress in the workplace.
- Keep stress in perspective and reframe stress.
- Increase productivity through flow.
- Master coping strategy wheels to create more options.

Workshop Synopsis (Abstract):
Today’s manufacturing sector deploy a wide ‘assortment’ of methods to drive and improve productivity performance. Lean manufacturing or Toyota Production System (TPS) began from automobile manufacturing in Japan has gained traction across the globe. Six Sigma methodology on the other hand has attracted attention to drive variabilities since it was introduced by American engineers working at Motorola. There has been comparison over the methods’ approaches, benefits, and other aspects in the past years. But, recently instead of comparing, combining Lean and Six Sigma as one collaborative effort to drive continuous improvement has been gaining in popularity. There have been wide range of training, certification, and consulting services in Lean Six Sigma instead of choosing one or the other. Many companies have attempted lean transformation, six sigma transformation, and lately combining two or more methods, but far few claimed the successes in sustenance practices.
In this talk, the speaker will share and discuss the origins of these productivity methods and practices from Industrial Engineering. It includes the revolution of these methods and the importance of hybrid approach moving forward. The talk will also bring up the points of how Lean, Six Sigma work with other key productivity guru such as TOC (Theory of Constraints).
Engineers and management must make these seemingly disparate methods integrate and perform as one, which can be a challenge, especially when different technical and academic background, experiences, and escalating conflicting strategies add to the complexity. Critical lesson learned, shared, and discussed in the transformation to prevail in the next generation of manufacturing age.

Workshop Synopsis (Abstract):
Since its appearance at the end of the last century, positive psychology has greatly influenced a significant number of all the conceptual and theoretical models developed in the field of psychology. Psychology progressively stopped focusing on what makes us unhappy and unproductive, focusing instead on what mitigates suffering and increases people’s happiness and positive outcomes.
In parallel, organizational behavior is applying as an extension, the principles of positive psychology.

Workshop Synopsis (Abstract):
Project risk has its origins in the uncertainty present in all projects. Known risks are those that have been identified and analyzed, making it possible to plan responses for those
risks. Specific unknown risks cannot be managed proactively, which suggests that the project team should create a contingency plan (PMBOK® Guide).
Project Risk Management includes the process of conducting risk management planning, identification, analysis, response planning, and monitoring and control on a project. The
objectives of Project Risk Management are to increase the probability and impact of positive events, and decrease the probability and impact of negative events in the project
(PMBOK® Guide).
With the knowledge and skills acquired at the end of the training program, participants will be able to use practical risk management processes, tools and techniques to manage
project risks of any size and nature. This will in turn ensure successful project completion, meeting project scope, cost and schedule.
Participants will also work through the proactive approach to threat and opportunity risks — based on a clear understanding of the powerful nature of both qualitative and
quantitative approaches to risk management. The training examines threat and opportunity from both a top-down and bottom-up perspective of 7 risk management
processes. Using effective tools, the trainees will learn how to evaluate and respond to risk at the project and task levels.
This course is conducted by an experienced project director and a certified PMP® trainer with an extensive exposure to management of R&D, NPI Manufacturing, Construction,
and Operational Projects on a global scale with a few well known international technology companies.

In a nutshell, the Agile Mindset seems to be a very hopeful way of looking at life. It promotes rolling-with-the-punches, working hard, and never making excuses. It helps you keep moving forward, helping to change yourself for the better while keeping your core values as a person intact.
