Speaker: Rick Brenner
Rick Brenner is principal of Chaco Canyon Consulting. He works with people in dynamic problem-solving organizations that are making products so novel or complex that they need state-of-the-art teamwork and stronger relationships among their people. In his 25 years as a software developer, project manager, software development manager, entrepreneur, consultant and coach, he has developed valuable insights into the interactions between people in complex dynamic environments, and between people and the media in which they work.
As a coach, he works with managers at all levels, emphasizing development of interpersonal skills, especially in fluid, high-stress contexts, such as organizations that are moving from a strict operational orientation to one in which ongoing operations must compete for resources with special enterprise-scale projects. Such a mixed environment creates organizational stresses that leaders must under-stand, not only because of the change-related issues that arise, but also because of the challenges to managers that they create, even when equilibrium is attained.
Over a period of seven years, he attended or assisted in numerous workshops under Jerry Weinberg, Dani Weinberg and Jean McLendon. It was during this period that he acquired his skills in designing and facilitating experiential education. He was a founding member of the AYE Conference.
Topic: The Politics of Meetings for People Who Hate Politics
Running an effective meeting involves a lot more than having the right room, the right equipment, and the right people. With meetings, the whole really is more than the sum of its parts. How the parts interact is as important as the parts themselves. And those interactions are the essence of politics for meetings. This program explores techniques for participating in and leading meetings that are based on understanding political interactions, and using that knowledge effectively. Come hear tips from Rick Brenner to help you convert politics from a source of chaos and trouble to a powerful tool for making meetings more effective.

Topic: Enterprise Risk Management
An Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) program and processes should include all areas of enterprise risks and impacts that the entity may be exposed to. The risks weave back and forth affecting each other creating larger risks when viewed in a vacuum without looking at the 360 degree risk environment that can affect the organization. The traditional risk evaluation and control and impact analysis were limited to threats that mainly focused on known physical and security threats.
The traditional methods alone will not provide enterprise cost-effective controls based on enterprise risk, required security levels both physical and information and the associated cost controls.
Today’s enterprise risk evaluation and control and impact analysis include identifying enterprise threats, which can truly lead not only to a disruption but also to the destruction of an enterprise. ERM includes Business Continuity, Disaster Recovery, Emergency Management, Crisis, Security both Information and Physical as well as other key areas.
This session will give you an overview for ERM in Program Management and Project Management. You will receive valuable information that you can implement. This is a must for Project Managers in the new world that is facing new risks every year.
