Presented "Driving a Marketing Vision Using Project Management" at the PMI Asia Pacific Congress 2007

Delivered a presentation about the use of project management for marketing efforts. This trip was my first visit to Asia, and it was wonderful to see the city and especially the island of Lantau. The paper and slides are now available here.

"Project Charters Bridge Cultures" Available as an On-Line Course

Learn how project charters successfully bridged cultural gaps when making decisions among a community of Japanese and U.S. executives. Establishing a clear chartering process was the key to project management's success at the company. Includes details about a working approval system for a Japanese-US company.

The full 52-minute recording is available on-line. Delivered before the PMI New Jersey Chapter on International Project Management Day, November 2, 2006.

If you find the topic interesting, now you can register for an on-line course on this topic. Unlike most on-line project management courses, you get real, human feedback, not multiple-choice tests. You get the chance to really learn and explore the material, applying it to your own projects and organization.
