This is a repeat of our exceptionally popular PM essentials seminar. We have invited our guest speaker, Tom Marchese, back again and we hope this will give those who were not able to attend the previous sessions a chance to participate.

Event Information:

When leading an Engineering Project, whether it be Process, Product or Service, elaborate software and checklists alone do not ensure projects will achieve the desired outcomes. These are merely the mechanics. The true essence of Engineering projects is aligning the whole organization to the corporate strategy. There are fundamental project management principles that are critical to success, particularly for Professional Engineers.

This dynamic seminar will examine a methodology that is utilized in high performance Project Management Offices. You will learn expert techniques for building successful project teams, creating efficient plans, and implementing effective change management.  Critical elements of communication amongst stakeholders and Senior Management to ensure the success of your projects and Organizational Alignment will be covered. A practical application of this methodology will be demonstrated so that you can put your new skills to work immediately!
