Calendar of Events

If projects always went according to plan, Project Leaders would have nothing to do. They would be able to lead projects forward in two hours per week. They would check in with their team members, get universal thumbs-up and publish a status report with nothing but good news! Since that never happens, it's time we admit "RISKS & ISSUES AREN'T JUST FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS!" That's why the world needs Project Leaders because they know that projects rarely go according to plan and they spend the vast majority of 40 hours each week navigating Risk and Change to #GSD. Conquering Risk and Change is what they do!

So why is it that when we ask CEOs how well their organizations navigate Project Risk and Change, the answer is unanimous … "Poorly!" 

Join J. Scott, Founder @120VC and author of "The Irreverent Guide to Project Management, An Agile Approach to Enterprise Project Management," and "It's Never Just Business, It's About People," on a journey that will demystify Risk and Change. Learn several practical, proven techniques that will have your stakeholders feeling like "YOU HAVE EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL," even if your project is a veritable dumpster fire!

Attendees will leave with the following takeaways;

• Understanding the Project Leadership Value Proposition.
• Conquering the 3 Different Types of Risks (Potential, Actual & Imminent).
• Learn Why Nobody is Actually Managing the Critical Path & How to Correct It!
• Learn How to Eliminate Actual and Imminent Risk by Managing to the Critical Path.
