I just love that I can earn portable Professional Development Units wherever I am – on a flight, in the hotel room, or on the Promenade in Seaside Oregon. ;)

Online Webinar – Recorded 8/12/014
By BATimes (Diversified Business Communications REP 1811)
Duration 1 Hr  1 Cat A PDU/CDUs – Free  PDU / CDU
Note: You may have to turn up your volume as Andrea is further away from the Microphone than Bob

Andrea Giantelli (LinkedIn profile) was brought in to the Interpublic Group of Companies to build and establish a PMO.

Having been involved with this type of implementation at Avon, she knew of the challenges that awaited her.

A big challenge that typically faces a PMO is the lack of transparency in an organization. Andrea decided there would be no “one size fits all” approach to her PMO.  She believes in guidance over governance and empowers her project managers to do what makes sense.

Having worked with Bob Maiale (LinkedIn profile) from Total Systems Education in the past, she recognized that the practical approach to project management that Total Systems has always preached would be a perfect fit for her novel plan.

Andrea and Bob decided that the best way for project managers to buy in to this unique idea was to develop a training curriculum based on their vision and to act as co-facilitators for this program.

The coupling of the practical approach to project management with this revolutionary PMO implementation has provided IPG with a sustainable, competitive edge.

Course Learning Objectives Include:

  • Attendees will understand the practical approach to project management.
  • Attendees will be given a clear roadmap to PMO start up and sustainability.
  • Attendees will see the benefits of the synergy between a PMO and training.

With the Course You Will Receive:

  • Access to the  Recorded Version of Webinar
  • Personalized Certificate of Attendance
  • Copy of Presentation Slides

Andrea and Bob will share their success story along with the challenges they faced along the way and will outline their roadmap for success that attendees can duplicate in their own organizations.
