/><br
/><em>Understanding influences on monitoring and evaluation strategy</em><br
/>A consideration of internal and external influences which drive the project definition and the approach taken towards monitoring<br
/>and evaluation projects.<br
/><br
/><em>Developing a Business Case to support monitoring and evaluation</em><br
/>An in depth consideration as to what should be included in a business case to get approval for monitoring and evaluation projects.<br
/>Financial and non-financial elements are considered. Since many of the benefits identified may be intangible, consideration is given as to how this can be effectively presented in a manner that is appealing to the Project Sponsor.<br
/><br
/><em>Developing a stakeholder management and communication strategy</em><br
/>This session addresses the challenge of understanding and managing the needs and expectations of multiple stakeholders. Consideration is given to methods of identifying and analyzing the stakeholders before determining the most appropriate way of managing and communicating with them throughout the monitoring and evaluation lifecycle.<br
/><br
/><em>Effective requirements gathering for monitoring and evaluation</em><br
/>A consideration of the various techniques available to elicit requirements together with the attributes of a good requirement. Further consideration will be given as to how to manage requirements and ensure requirements are traceable.<br
/><br
/><em>Determining Critical Success Factors and Key Performance Indicators</em><br
/>An evaluation as to what is meant by Critical Success Factors and Key Performance Indicators, how these relate to organization and local objectives and how to ensure a balanced range of measures is achieved.<br
/><br
/><em>Modelling the current and future state</em><br
/>In order to effectively define and communicate the change that will be delivered, a range of models will be considered that help to<br
/>define the current situation and how this will be improved through the monitoring and evaluation project.<br
/><br
/><em>Scope and change management</em><br
/>It is vital that the scope of the project is fully understood and that change is managed so as to avoid this causing a monitoring and<br
/>evaluation project to fail. This session considers scope management techniques available to the practitioner, common causes of<br
/>change and a stable change control process that can be used to manage requests for change.<br
/><br
/><em>Identifying and delivering sustainable impacts</em><br
/>Since the most effective projects are sustainable, consideration is given as to questions that must be asked to determine how sustainable an impact will be. A resource audit is used to look at local capacity and capability and to provide an indication of further support that may be required from the delivery organization.<br
/><br
/><em>Effectively leading a monitoring and evaluation project</em><br
/>Monitoring and evaluation projects require effective leadership. The fourth day starts with a consideration of the attributes of an<br
/>effective leader and leadership theories that can be applied in a practical way to improve project performance.<br
/><br
/><em>Managing a team through the monitoring and evaluation lifecycle</em><br
/>Monitoring and evaluation projects involve a range of people who enable the project to be successful. This session considers how to manage a team effectively, how to get the members to support the change that is being delivered and how to ensure the team is more skilled at the end of the project than at the commencement.<br
/><br
/><em>Creating a learning culture within monitoring and evaluation</em><br
/>Organizations and individuals must commit to learning from conception to closure. This session of the course promotes the benefits of continuous learning and development and methods that can be used to prove this contributes to project success.<p>Cost: 3995 USD</p><p>Duration: 5 Days</p>					]]>				  </description>				  <pubDate>Mon, 29 May 2017 20:39:59 +04</pubDate>				</item> 								<item><title><![CDATA[Supportive Supervision Techniques  - Convertas , Dubai,Malaysia,Turkey,United Kingdom ]]></title><link>https://courses.laimoon.com/course/suppportive-supervision-techniques/online</link>				  <description>				  <![CDATA[						<strong>Objective</strong><ul><li>Recognize the needs to be effective at work</li><li>Explain the positive attitude and behavior that should be followed in the workplace</li><li>Assess their own effectiveness</li><li>Identify the skills needed to improve their own effectiveness</li><li>Choose appropriate forms of development</li><li>Set a plan for personal development</li></ul><strong>Outline</strong><ul><li>The control function of management</li><li>Types of employee control and development</li><li>Leading managers</li><li>Levels of control</li><li>Supervision to add effectiveness?</li><li>Why do managers need to be effective?</li><li>Shifting to a positive attitude and behavior.</li><li>Assessing your effectiveness.</li><li>Supervision as a coaching and mentoring tool</li><li>Choosing personal development methods.</li><li>Implementing a development plan</li><li>Evaluating the development plan</li></ul><p>Cost: 3195 USD</p><p>Duration: 3 Days</p>					]]>				  </description>				  <pubDate>Mon, 29 May 2017 20:23:47 +04</pubDate>				</item> 								<item><title><![CDATA[Motivational Methods and Techniques Workshop  - Convertas , Dubai,Malaysia,Turkey,United Kingdom,United Arab Emirates ]]></title><link>https://courses.laimoon.com/course/motivational-methods-and-techniques-workshop/online</link>				  <description>				  <![CDATA[						<strong>Objective</strong><ul><li>Understand employee engagement and motivation</li><li>Understand the components of employee engagement</li><li>Understand the drivers and enablers of employee engagement</li><li>Acquire skills to promote employee engagement</li><li>Human Resources development and its benefits</li></ul><strong>Outline</strong><ul><li>People are different and the most important asset of an organization</li><li>Specifying Job descriptions and Roles</li><li>Human behavior in workplace</li><li>The immense need of leadership roles in each employee</li><li>What is Motivation?</li><li>How to motivate people</li><li>People fears and concerns vs. interests and ambitions</li><li>The most used 360 degree assessment tools</li><li>Team equality and diversity</li><li>Ethics - Practical Toolkit</li><li>Relating performance and competency to rewards</li><li>Behavior assessment and profiling</li><li>Coaching and mentoring new leaders</li><li>Diversity Management</li><li>Employee Assistance Programs</li><li>Ergonomics: Safe Facilities in the Workplace</li><li>Employee involvement in strategic management</li><li>Performance evaluation</li><li>Behavioral and 360 appraisals</li><li>Interpersonal Skills</li><li>Retaining Employees</li></ul><p>Cost: 3995 USD</p><p>Duration: 5 Days</p>					]]>				  </description>				  <pubDate>Mon, 29 May 2017 20:07:24 +04</pubDate>				</item> 								<item><title><![CDATA[IT Business Management  - London Training For Excellence , Online ]]></title><link>https://courses.laimoon.com/course/it-business-management/online</link>				  <description>				  <![CDATA[						<strong>Introduction:</strong><br
