Session III: Beyond the Technical: Cultivating Process Development Professionals

All process development professionals are enabled with keen technical skills, though most often a “softer” skill set is needed to grow ones’ career. These softer skills allow an individual to successfully navigate through diverse team dynamics, manage stakeholder expectation and become positive mentors, just to name a few. This type of expertise is not easily taught in a classroom setting and one must cultivate them from their own personal experiences. This session will focus on several of these softer skills with approaches to improve one’s communication, teamwork, business acumen and leadership being discussed.
