Russ Martinelli and Jim Waddell designed the course for program and project managers seeking to grow their skills in the Program Management discipline and provide greater value to their companies. The new skills, tools and techniques are even more efficiently implemented when multiple people attend from the same company, so a discount price is offered for 3 or more people from the same organization.
Russ and Jim have many years of experience in high risk, high profile programs and offer their own as well as contemporary examples of program management challenges and solutions. Their approach is ideal for small group discussions and activities, which is the design of the workshop. While participants in the workshop bring their own situations and experiences, participants will benefit from the direct contact with these leading experts.
The 2-day workshop will be in Tigard, Oregon, USA just 30 minutes from the PDX airport or 20 minutes south of downtown Portland off the I-5 freeway.
