Future Speakers and Topics

Planned

June 5th - We have Doug DeCarlo joining us.

Topic: eXtreme Project Management ™ applied: How to Lead & Succeed in the Face of Volatility

No sooner do you say the word "plan," when something else has changed. Instead of managing priorities, you often find yourself prioritizing crises.

Traditional project management practices simply don’t cut in on today’s volatile, high-change, high-speed, high-stress ventures. To succeed on these extreme projects, today’s new breed project manager needs to adopt a quantum mindset, know how to apply a flexible project model, and at the same time, be able to unleash motivation and innovation.

Based on his work with over 250 project teams from around the world, Doug DeCarlo will share proven principles, practices and tools that have been captured in his highly acclaimed book, eXtreme Project Management: Using Leadership, Principles and Tools to Deliver Value in the Face of Volatility.
