What's New@
Project Management Institute? Another Great Resource for Project
Managers
Social Media for Project Managers

By Elizabeth Harrin, PA, MACS

ISBN: 9781935589112
Paperback | 131 pages | November 2010

What is a microblog, podcast, vodcast, or a wiki, and why do project
managers need to know? Author Elizabeth Harrin provides practical guidance
for project leaders who want to apply social media tools to foster improved
communication and collaboration within their project teams.

The new media and collaboration tools offer many opportunities for project
managers that you simply cannot ignore. At the same time, there are many
challenges that may be really confusing for practitioners. The book has
everything you need to know about the new communication and collaboration
tools and has it in a very easy-to-understand way. If you heard a lot about
social media, but were not sure how to apply it to managing your team and
projects, this is a great next step for you.

*Andrew Filev, CEO of Wrike.com, leading social project management tool*

Subject: More information on the "Staying Ahead of the Threat Landscape"
half-day seminar
To: "lutzpf@gmail.com" <lutzpf@gmail.com>

Hi Peter,

As I mentioned on the phone "Staying Ahead of the Threat Landscape: Budget
Smart Tactics to Strengthen Your Security Posture" will be held on Thursday,
December 2, 2010 at the Hilton Garden Inn Center City from 8:00 am until
1:30 pm. You'll have the opportunity to hear from security guru, G. Mark
Hardy, president of National Security.

I want you to know about all the benefits of this complimentary seminar now,
because we are limiting attendance to the first 60 IT security pros who
apply. This allows for a concentrated albeit relaxed learning environment
with optimum peer-networking opportunities. Here's the URL for our seminar's
website which contains complete seminar info and the chance for you to
register before all the seats are. (We don't allow onsite registration so
the need to apply in advance is essential)
http://events.techtarget.com/secdefense/index.html?Offer=BDoherty

Attend and return to the office with the knowledge of how to:

-- Interpret the latest threats and their implications and create an
effective defense-in-depth strategy
-- Secure remote access and your increasingly mobile workforce
-- Cost-effectively protect your data while preparing for statewide data
protection laws
-- Identify the top security change drivers of 2011 and discover what
actions you must take now to stay ahead of the curve
-- Effectively communicate the threat and business impact to executive
management to gain buy in around the projects needed to keep your
organization safe
-- And much more!

****Important note regarding this seminar****
This seminar is part of a two-track half day event focusing on the emerging
role of Unified Communications in business, how to secure these new
technologies and your organization's overall security through 2011 and
beyond. This seminar comprises the security track which will run
simultaneously with the Unified Communications track. G. Mark Hardy will be
headlining the security track; however, attendees are welcome to attend
whichever tracks they find most beneficial.

We also encourage you to forward this invite on to any colleagues you feel
may benefit from this unique event featuring independent expert content
around Unified Communications and information security.

**** Absolutely can't make the date? ****
Do a friend a favor and forward this to a colleague who can. As with all
attendees, they simply need to apply in advance before seats are filled and
registration closes without further notice. Sorry, we can't accommodate any
walk-in registrations, hence the sense of urgency to this email.

*Quick Tip 23: Weapons of Influence - Scarcity*

* *

Last month we discussed authority -- one of the six "weapons of influence"
researched by Robert Cialdini and documented in *Influence: Science and
Practice*. You may not have direct power, but you can increase your impact
by practicing influence. In this Quick Tip we discuss practical, ethical
ways for BAs to exert indirect power using these principles. This is the
last Quick Tip about Weapons of Influence.

*Scarcity:* You tend to engage in risky, impulsive behaviours to avoid loss,
but not to make equivalent gains.

You treat scarcity and value as if they are the same thing; they are not.
For example, love -- a ubiquitous human experience -- feels rare because it
is important.

Some scarcity is imposed through human actions (OPEC restricting oil
production); some is natural (experience takes time to develop).

*Examples: *This weapon of influence is pervasive and powerful.
- Imposed scarcity moves products. "SALE TODAY ONLY!" limits the time you
have to make a purchase, increasing the apparent worth of the product.
- Potential loss drives risky action. Businesses throw millions of dollars
at failing projects because there is a vanishing chance that a loss can be
avoided, and sunk costs recovered. At the same time projects with large
potential benefits may go unfunded. Poker players call this 'pot committed'.
It is also called 'throwing good money after bad.'

*Ethics*: This weapon of influence helps explain why negative political
campaigns are so tempting and so effective. The principle applies in
business as well: it can help you get your business case funded. To make
your business case appear more valuable, emphasize losses the company will
face by failing to fund it. To make it appear more valuable than competing
business cases, emphasize the losses the company will suffer by implementing
them. If you use this weapon to gain support for an initiative that will
deliver solid, strategically aligned benefits, you're likely behaving
ethically. If you use it to quash ideas and overwhelm the evidence, you're
likely not.

*Hints:* Guard against this weapon by rigorously analysing the risks
presented, instead of being seduced by the impacts. Compare good and bad
possible outcomes by making them all negative or all positive. For example,
compare the risk of failure to benefits that will be lost through inaction.

Fwd: Recruiters Don't Ask Job Seekers to Pay

Recruiters Don't Ask Job Seekers to

Posted: 16 Nov 2010 07:30 AM PST

There is one piece of information you need to remember in your job
search; *recruiters
don't ask job seekers to pay a fee*. Their client is the company that is in
need of filling a position and the recruiter is compensated for seeking out
a suitable candidate. Legitimate "recruiting organizations" will NEVER ask a
job seeker for money and will NEVER guarantee a job seeker a position
because they are retained by a potential employer. Often job seekers will be
heard complaining about recruiters who do not follow up with them but they
are not compensated by the job seeker.

All too often we are hearing of job seekers spending thousands of dollars
taken in by scams which promise them a job and almost all have reported that
they were under the impression that it was a recruiting company. It should
now be fully understood that this was not the case. It is unfortunate that
during a time when finances are limited we see victims paying out thousands
of dollars coerced by false promises of landing a dream job that is never
realized. Even those who didn't hand over the money have invested their time
to travel and interview and then, as requested, to return with their spouse
to interview again before realizing that this was not part of your everyday
job search.

That said, there are many qualified and reputable organizations that can
assist you in your job search and provide a professional and valuable
service in all aspects of your executive career. It is much easier than you
think to recognize the difference; just ask! You should have a network of
professionals on Linkedin <http://linkedin.com> and various groups that are
available to verify an organization. There are also many online forums to
submit questions about a company. Be sure to check in with friends, family
and colleagues too in order to obtain valuable advice, recommendations and
referrals.

An organization with a disreputable history may resort to changing their
company name in an effort to hide from negative feedback. If the canned
email spiel you're receiving shows an inconsistency with company names and
company website names, it is likely a scam. Legitimate companies are proud
of the reputation they have built with the ONE name used since the date they
were established.

Always be sure to search online to verify any organization, especially one
you intend to hire! Check out the links such as
ripoff.com<http://www.ripoffreport.com/employment-services/wateman-partners-int/waterman-partners-internationa-bwf56.htm>and
the
redflagdeals<http://forums.redflagdeals.com/anyone-heard-toronto-profesional-executive-marketing-firm-840854/>
forum.
Or Google <http://google.com> the name and beside the name include the word,
*scam*. You will be amazed at the results and how much information others
have been sharing in order to help you avoid being scammed.
