Program Management Academy and City University of Seattle announce Program Management Workshop
Achieving Improved Business Results with Program Management is a public workshop being offered in Seattle, Washington, USA during September 14-15, 2009. This workshop is sponsored by City University of Seattle and conducted by the Program Management Academy.
The instructors will be Russ Martinelli and Jim Waddell, authors of the book Program Management for Improved Business Results (Wiley, 2007). Russ and Jim have designed the course for those seeking to grow their knowledge and skills in the Program Management discipline and provide greater value to their companies.
Russ and Jim have many years of experience in high risk, high profile programs and offer their own as well as other examples of program management challenges and effective solutions. Their approach is ideal for small group discussions and activities. While participants in the workshop bring their own situations and experiences, participants will benefit from the direct contact with these leading edge experts.
Attendees are expected from around the globe, thus providing the benefit of shared experiences from a wide variety of organizations and industries. Stacy Pritchard, Senior Marketing Program Manager for Autodesk, Inc. recently called this "a great class. I took home a lot of new ideas, tools, tips and tricks".
Efficiently executing strategic programs has never been more important. Managing these programs is critical whether you are part of a start-up company, a mature company or a newly merged organization. Mastering new skills and approaches is key to project and program managers in these organizations, even those managers with years of experience.
The new skills, tools and techniques are even more efficiently implemented when multiple people attend workshops from the same company, so discount pricing is available when 3 or more attend from the same organization. For more information, visit: http://www.programmanagement-academy.com/.
