HUMAN ENERGY MANAGEMENT

2019 Training

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This is a 2-day practical workshop to better manage your energy, not time!

From the Harvard Business Review’s “Manage Your Energy, Not Your Time” article: The core problem with working longer hours is that time is a finite resource. Energy is a different story. Defined in physics as the capacity to work, energy comes from four main wellsprings in human beings: the body, emotions, mind, and spirit. In each, energy can be systematically expanded and regularly renewed by establishing specific rituals—behaviors that are intentionally practiced and precisely scheduled, with the goal of making them unconscious and automatic as quickly as possible.”

PROJECT MANAGEMENT FUNDAMENTALS WORKSHOP

2019 Training

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This workshop in Project Fundamentals is for Project Managers and anyone else who works in, or is planning to be involved in project planning, scheduling, budgeting &/or monitoring. It provides essential knowledge about Project Life Cycle processes common to any endeavor -- whether economic enterprise, infrastructure, industrial product, social, or community development – as well as best practice methodologies, tools & techniques for their management.

Initially, the course provides a rapid overview of the Project Management Institute's (PMIs) five (5) Project Management Process Groups, ten (10) Knowledge Areas and 49 individual Processes in their “Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide)—6th Edition.” The participants are then taught and -- through experiential learning exercises -- apply selected best practice methodologies for managing the first four process groups; with simulation games to reinforce understanding of Critical Path and Earned Value implementation & monitoring concepts. Since the workshop focus is on enhancing participant PM knowledge about universal best practices, and competency in selected process group areas, it includes several tools, techniques & insights outside of PMI’s PMBOK® Guide.

This course meets the formal educational pre-requisites for individuals interested in applying for PMI’s Project Management Professional (PMP®) certification examination. While it is an excellent foundation to facilitate preparation for the PMP exam, the workshop does not provide a comprehensive review of the material contained in the PMBOK Guide; but is highly recommended as a precursor before taking a PMP Exam Review Course.
