The Art and Opportunity of Successful Project Management with Andy Kaufman PMP [Ep 28]
“If your to-do item requires more than one step…it’s a project”
-David Allen
Under the rule established by the above quote, all of us – including YOU- manage projects each and every day. In this 60 minute episode, you will learn that not only are projects important, but that managing doesn’t have to be difficult. In fact, it’s quite simple if you are willing to employ a few important techniques.
Several years ago, while I was presenting for a very challenging client in Chicago, IL, a man with a tremendously addictive smile sat in the back of the room. At the end of the day, he approached me with great enthusiasm for what was, in his words, “a rather successfully facilitated day” I had just completed. A connection was made…and in this episode, I reconnect with Andy Kaufman, PMP to discuss the art and opportunity of successfully managing projects.
