TO: Project managers and team leaders, managers and supervisorswith project management responsibilities

FROM: Robb Garr

Good things happen to those who know how to manage projects. Te ability to make things happen … to meetdeadlines … to build and supervise a team … to get results. Tat’s what makes people take notice. Tat’s what

makes careers soar!It’s a act. Managers who know how to complete projects on time, on budget and with the desired results are in highdemand and—as top management everywhere agrees—in short supply.

Tat’s why we set out to consult with top project managers. We wanted to find out whattechniques are working or them, gain the benefit o their experience and practical insightsand bring the inormation straight to you.

So, what are the secrets o these project management “superstars”? No secrets, really. Just a thorough understandingo what it takes to guide a project rom bright idea to bottom-line result. Te know-how to create a plan, implementit, monitor progress, correct as necessary and deliver as promised. Te skills to make their projects an orderlyprogression o completed objectives, instead o the all-too-common helter-skelter race with disaster.

Tat’s our crystal-clear goal in this unique seminar: o equip you with the tools, knowledge, insights and skills tomake you an outstanding project manager. We’ll ocus on practical applications and techniques that you can takeback to work and use the very next day: Step-by-step guidelines that you can apply to your current or next project.

You’ll learn how to get projects started in the right direction, set goals and develop your plan, build your project team,allocate your resources, monitor progress, adjust and correct as necessary, avoid common project pitalls, handle theinevitable problems and complete the project on schedule.

Whether your project is simple and straightorward or complex and detailed, the samerules apply. You’ll leave this seminar equipped to be more effective than ever beore inleading projects to successul completion.

Managing projects successully is a challenge. Yet there are great rewards or those who master the necessary skills.

Let us show you how.
