The Project Management Institute of Tallahassee, Florida

Dinner Event April 5, 2010

John Hugill and Nicholas Clarke, PMP

present

"Project Management Discipline: The Sometimes Rocky Road to Value Realization"

Program:

An exciting tour of the successes (and failures) of organizations who drive realization of their long-range future-state vision through project management.  We will explore public- or private-sector strategies to achieve value by: 

Tying metrics to targeted projects within a portfolio

Effective implementation of program management structures

New concepts such as the results management office 

Supporting management disciplines necessary to execute

Long-term case-studies from the State of Florida, Federal, and other states will be detailed, including highly successful programs from the Florida Department of Revenue.  We will demonstrate the Deloitte Enterprise Value Map and other tools that link strategic value and performance metrics to the individual projects driving that strategy.  We will close with a review the common barriers to success and a brief overview of new, innovative toolsets which can help.
