3 ways program management leverages strategy execution Current statistics show that only 30 % of projects are successful and less than 25% of employees are actively engaged (meaning doing their best having a feeling to realize themselves). This means not only a huge waste of money and energy, as well as a major risk for business development. Can you imagine a single minute, what business development opportunity it would represent of 100% projects would be successful and employees all highly motivated?? The great news is that there is an on-going way to change these statistics by following the next three keys: Driving all existing approaches or initiatives through project/ program management removing then barriers between “strategic functions” and the different “execution functions” This is not reinventing or opposing any existing structured approaches (lean, agility, project management… with all related certifications), however “integrating” them towards common goals and expected benefits, making bridges between functions, methods, objectives. As a way to illustrate necessary bridges between execution and strategic functions (Finances, HR, Strategy …), here is a very interesting article from Mark Langley, CEO, Project Management Institute and former CFO: “3 things CFOs should know about project management” . “The first thing I would tell a CFO is that all strategic initiatives are delivered through projects and programs (…)” “The second thing (…) is how much money is wasted on projects that fail to meet their objectives due to poor performance (…)” “The third thing (…) is that having a culture of project management can make his or her life easier.” Insert program management to coordinate related projects for higher performance Program management is a standard approach for uncertain and complex contexts, to deliver business benefits by coordinating interdependent projects and activities. What are his main advantages ? Based on benefits delivery and sustainability objectives according to program business case rather than “just” projects delivery –> it contains “agility way of thinking” to deliver benefits as quick as possible, and a “strategic way of thinking” to change the content of the plan (e.g. cancel a project or define a new one in agreement with governance) to exploit opportunities or mitigate risks. Brings consistency between projects and alignment to common goals –> it provides support to projects and overall purpose which is key for engagement. Focuses on “stakeholder engagement” around negotiated benefits, a program vision , mission and contribution to strategy –> it is much more than “lead change”, it is based on “build together approach”, this applies to all stakeholders including customers, operational teams and program and project teams. As a recent demonstration of professional program management in Iowa, USA, Senators signed the Program Management Improvement and Accountability Act of 2015, as a way to ensure better performance in their projects. By adopting the program management standards, practices and procedures of high-performing, private sector organizations. The purpose is to make these programs cost efficient and on budget, after billions of dollars had been wasted over years! What are other american states waiting for? Same question for organizations? Use programs as a driver for engagement and leadership expansion Programs are by definition an approach to drive change, even program methodology includes the definition of a vision, a “To Be State” and a mission statement. However no methods can work without people. The main factor here is leadership, which starts with intrinsic leadership of leaders from executive leaders to project managers. Projects and programs are great opportunities to engage people, make them move regarding their own development objectives and give them a feeling to contribute to a greater collective adventure. Beyond the project and programs scope itself, projects and programs are a unique way to promote new ways of thinking, behaving, and working together towards the company culture, mission and vision: - A relevant priority and staffing of the project team would then lead to evolve the organization and complete mindset towards a more effective company. - New ways to work, in terms of formalizing, organizing, prioritizing and steering different tasks activities can be promoted for more efficiency. - Innovation in management and leadership can be put in place in coordinating cross functional teams towards consistent values and goals. Here is a great “operational “ bridge to exploit with HR functions and company organization and culture. There are currently two main organizations providing certifications in program management: PMI and APMG. Looking for instance at PMI certifications in program management (PgMP), there are around 1400 PgMP mainly in US, Canada, India , GCC which is still low compared to the 650 000 certified project managers. As a conclusion, program management is a strong enabler for evolving a complete organization strategy. Based on the relevant leadership, such an evolution will lead to value-added inside and beyond the project.

Tax Planning and Possible Tax Benefit Reminders for New Parents If you welcome a new child to your home in 2023, whether through birth, adoption or taking in a relative like a grandchild, then you may qualify for new tax benefits. However, there are some important steps to take now to preserve your eligibility for these opportunities. First, if possible, obtain a Social Security number (SSN) for your new child. In most cases, you can request an SSN when you file for a birth certificate. If the child does not qualify for a SSN for any reason, then you can generally obtain an individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN) instead. Having a tax identification number for your child ensures that the IRS can verify the change in your household size, which may affect your taxes in a number of ways. Two of the most valuable tax benefits that may be available to new parents are the Child Tax Credit (CTC) and the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). You must have an SSN for each of your dependent children in order to claim these credits. The CTC is a per-child credit, so even if you received the credit in past years, your credit amount may increase with a new child in 2023. For the EITC, both the credit amount and the income limit increase as the number of qualifying children increases (up to 3 children). Therefore, the addition of a new child in 2023 could make you eligible for the credit even if you were not eligible in previous years.

Whenever we do martial arts demonstrations for schools, we always encourage the children to ask questions. This can have mixed results. At one recent event, for instance, a school teacher came up to us afterwards and commented that the students seemed to be going out of their way to ask the most ridiculous questions possible. But this was not the case this week, when one group asked some quite insightful questions. Bear in mind also, that these were babies. Not literally babies, but very young students; grade three maximum, possibly grade one. I cannot say for certain, as all children look alike to me. But they were all quite young for their age. After showing some of our basic open hand techniques, one child asked, “If that is basic, what are your advanced techniques like?” Another asked what if your attacker also knows martial arts; I may have made some inappropriate and disparaging remarks about karate, but it was a good question, nevertheless. One wanted to know how we would deal with two attackers, one in front and one behind. And my favourite question, or rather comment, was from a student who thought what we did was very much all about the timing. It was a good day. Plus there were baby ducks, hopefully asking equally intelligent questions of their adults. At the end of the last demonstration of the day, a child gave me a flower.

The gazpacho didn’t use up all of my tomatoes, so I will shortly be making one of my favourite chutneys – Red Tomato Chutney. When the weather turns and the tomatoes on the vines are not likely to ripen any more I pick all the green tomatoes and put them in a bucket with a couple of ripe tomatoes – a week or so later all the green tomatoes will have ripened. Blanch the tomatoes for 30 seconds in fast boiling water. Put into cold water, then skin. Cut up tomatoes and remove the hard cores. Put into a saucepan with a very little water, bring gently to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until thick. Add all the other ingredients, stirring in well. Continue cooking until the whole mixture is thick. Put a spoonful on a cold plate to test its consistency. When ready, pour into hot jars or bottles, and cover at once. n.b. the final colour of the chutney depends largely on the redness of the tomatoes and the use of white sugar and vinegar. To give it a good texture, it should be processed without pause once the tomatoes are blanched.

BAGHDAD, Iraq — An audacious attack on a prison housing thousands of former ISIS fighters in Syria. A series of strikes against military forces in neighboring Iraq. And a horrific video harking back to the grimmest days of the insurgency that showed the beheading of an Iraqi police officer. The evidence of a resurgence of the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq is mounting by the day, nearly three years after the militants lost the last patch of territory of their so-called caliphate, which once stretched across vast parts of the two countries. The fact that ISIS was able to mount these coordinated and sophisticated attacks in recent days shows that what had been believed to be disparate sleeper cells are re-emerging as a more serious threat. “It’s a wake-up call for regional players, for national players, that ISIS is not over, that the fight is not over,” said Kawa Hassan, Middle East and North Africa director at the Stimson Center, a Washington research institute. “It shows the resilience of ISIS to strike back at the time and place of their choosing.” On Tuesday, fighting between a Kurdish-led militia backed by the United States and the militants spread from the embattled Sinaa prison in northeastern Syria to surrounding neighborhoods, swelling into the biggest confrontation between the American military and its Syrian allies and ISIS in three years. The U.S. military joined the fight after the militants attacked the makeshift prison in the city of Hasaka, trying to free their fellow fighters. The Islamic State now controls about a quarter of the prison and is holding hundreds of hostages, many of them children detained when the caliphate that their families had joined fell in 2019. The United States has conducted airstrikes and provided intelligence and ground troops in Bradley fighting vehicles to help cordon off the prison. Even as skirmishing was taking place around the prison Tuesday, fighting involving ISIS fighters also broke out about 150 miles away, in Rasafa, about 30 miles outside the city of Raqqa. The militants’ show of force was not limited to Syria. In Iraq, around the same time as the prison attack began, ISIS fighters stormed an army outpost in Diyala Province, killing 10 soldiers and an officer in the deadliest attack in several years on an Iraqi military base. Gunmen approached the base from three sides late at night while some of the soldiers slept. The attack raised fears that some of the same conditions in Iraq that allowed for ISIS’s rise in 2014 were now making room for it to reconstitute. In December, insurgents kidnapped four Iraqi hunters in a mountainous area of northeast Iraq, including a police colonel. The militants beheaded the police officer, and then released the gruesome video. The attacks in Iraq, conducted by ISIS sleeper cells in remote mountain and desert areas, have highlighted a lack of coordination between Iraqi government forces and the Peshmerga, Kurdish forces of the Iraqi Kurdistan Region. Many of the attacks take place in disputed territory claimed by both the Iraqi Kurdish government and the central government. Ardian Shajkovci, director of the American Counterterrorism Targeting and Resilience Institute, said many of the militants arrested in attacks since the group lost the last of its territory three years ago appeared to be younger, and from families with older members tied to ISIS. “If so,” he said, “this is a new generation of ISIS recruits, changing the calculus and threat landscape in many ways.” Iraq has struggled to deal with tens of thousands of Iraqi citizens who are relatives of ISIS fighters and have been collectively punished and placed in detention camps — now feared to be breeding grounds for radicalization. Corruption in Iraqi security forces has left some of their bases without proper supplies and allowed soldiers and officers to neglect their duties, contributing to the collapse of entire army divisions that retreated in 2014 rather than fight ISIS. In Syria on Tuesday, the Syrian Democratic Forces said that they had conducted sweeps in Hasaka neighborhoods near the prison, killing five ISIS fighters who were wearing suicide belts. The militia said that on Monday it had freed nine prison employees held by the Islamic State and killed another nine militants, including two suicide bombers, in raids around the prison. An S.D.F. spokesman, Farhad Shami, said that so far, 550 detainees who took part in the siege had surrendered. The militia has also been negotiating with the ISIS leaders in the prison. There are an estimated 3,500 detainees in the overcrowded prison. As many as 700 minors are also there, some 150 of them citizens of other countries who had been taken to Syria as young children when their parents left home to join the insurgency. An estimated 40,000 foreigners made their way to Syria to fight or work for the caliphate. The prison siege has highlighted the plight of thousands of foreign children who have been detained for three years in camps and prisons in the region, abandoned by their own countries. The prison inmates include boys as young as 12. Some were transferred to the prison after they were deemed too old to remain in detention camps that held families of suspected Islamic State fighters. The Syria director for Save the Children, Sonia Khush, said those detaining the children were responsible for their safety. But she also pointed a finger at foreign governments that have refused to repatriate their imprisoned citizens. “Responsibility for anything that happens to these children also lies at the door of foreign governments who have thought that they can simply abandon their child nationals in Syria,” Ms. Khush said. At its height, in 2014, ISIS controlled about a third of Iraq and large parts of Syria, territory that rivaled Britain in size. When the last piece of it, in Baghuz, Syria, fell three years ago, women and young children were put in detention camps, while those believed to be fighters were sent to prison. The main detention camp for the families, Al Hol, is squalid, overcrowded and dangerous, lacking sufficient food, medical services and guards. Amid the chaos, an increasingly radicalized segment of detainees has emerged to terrorize other camp residents. When the boys at the camps become teenagers, they are usually transferred to Sinaa prison, where they are packed into overcrowded cells. Food, medical care and even sunlight are in scarce supply. But their plight gets harder still when they turn 18. Even though none of the young foreigners have been charged with a crime, they are placed with the general prison population, where wounded ISIS fighters sleep three to a bed. Outside the prison, the U.S. troops that have once again engaged in battle with ISIS fighters are part of a residual force of the American-led military coalition that was largely pulled out of the country in 2019. There are currently about 700 American troops in the region, operating mostly from a base in Hasaka, and another 200 near Syria’s border with Jordan. The Pentagon said that the armored Bradley fighting vehicles put in place to back the Kurdish-led S.D.F. forces were being used as barricades while the Kurdish militia tightened its cordon around the prison. A coalition official said the vehicles had been fired at and had returned fire. “We have provided limited ground support, strategically positioned to assist security in the area,” John F. Kirby, the Pentagon spokesman, told reporters in Washington. Jane Arraf reported from Baghdad, and Ben Hubbard from Beirut, Lebanon.
