PMIWDC

This presentation is on how simple, easy-to-replicate techniques such as cascading and sequential kaizens can be used to effect an enterprise transformation; whether the enterprise is an IT division of a private company, Army Headquarters or a network of Forward Operating Bases in Afghanistan.

Project Management and golf? Are you kidding? No! Books have been written on this relationship and featured recently on the PMI website home page. The Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBoK) can be applied to any discipline, but too often we associate it with Information Technology and focus on required documents instead of thinking of the logical flow.

It seems common trend in the industry to consider project dependencies and yet organizations find themselves having kicked-off projects simultaneously, which otherwise should have been sequenced for the execution. Organizations typically have adequate project management processes and infrastructure but when it comes to execution it is the project inter dependencies and hand-offs that challenge the organizations and become “talk of the town” at the steering committee and executive level.
