Speaking at PMI Great Lakes Chapter
I will be speaking at the November meeting of the Project Management Institute’s (PMI) Great Lakes Chapter. The topic is:
How To Achieve Economic Growth and Innovation Through Linchpin Project Management
Attendees receive a 1 PDU continuing education credit from the PMI.
Below is a description of the session. You can register at here.
Project management evangelist Mark Phillips will bring to life the new buzz-phrase “linchpin project management.” He takes the concept explained by author Seth Godin and defines it in everyday terms, recommending steps that project managers and other business leaders can take to create a culture of linchpin project management.
Attendees of this presentation will learn the critical distinction between the view that project managers lead “operations” and the view that they lead “projects,” with the latter being preferable.
By seeing their roles as true managers of projects, the individuals in these roles maintain creativity by distinguishing themselves as being in charge of something unique, something that is bringing change and has never been done before.
Finally, Phillips will describe the innovation-driven authority that the best project managers can derive from their roles and provide tips for individuals who want to achieve this level of mastery.
