In today’s lean times, dynamic
organizations and business leaders are looking for
business-savvy project managers (PMs) who can maximize
return on their investment (ROI). The scope for ROI
objectives is often the organization at large and not just
for the project. PMs need to understand the organization’s
business goals and align project goals with organization’s
business strategy. In addition, they need to estimate and
deliver results predictably, to not jeopardize corporate
financial planning and performance figures. These
pressures are particularly in evidence as we start the
second decade of the 21st century.
PMINJ invites you to explore and gain valuable business
skills and financial project management techniques from
leading experts on May 2 and 3, 2010 at the Pines Manor in
Edison, New Jersey.
On Sunday May 2, we have an afternoon seminar entitled
Debits and Credits for Project Managers: Fundamentals of
Accounting and Related Business Cycles by Anthony Reed,
CPA, PMP.

management and executive positions for Fortune 500
corporations and large consulting firms. He has managed
multi-million dollar departmental budgets and staffing
blends of international, multi-generational,
multi-cultural employees and consultants. As an adjunct
professor, he has taught project management, accounting,
income tax, business management, and information
technology courses. He also developed and taught
accounting classes to small business owners and consulting
firms. Anthony Reed holds two graduate degrees and two
undergraduate degrees. He has four books and over 50

and in 30 States.
On Monday May 3, we have the PMINJ 2010 Regional PM
Symposium. The theme this year is “Business-Savvy Project
Management”. One keynote address will be delivered by
Anthony Reed. It is entitled Finding the I in TEAM: Better
Team Building Through Individual Building. We are
currently soliciting speakers for multiple track sessions
and sponsors to participate in the event. Topics for
consideration, as well as timely, practical project
management techniques and case studies, are:
- Cash Flow and Capital Management
- Benefit Realization and Measuring Effectives
- Estimation
- Risk Management
- Business Cases
- Resource and Contract Management
- Organizational Change Management
Are you ready to explore this challenging world of project
management speaker Anthony Reed and other experts? Do you
manage your projects like a small business owner? Projects
are financial investments and should be recognized as key
elements in the strategies for achieving business goals
and excellence. PMs should be able to think beyond the
immediate horizon in terms of financial reward, risk, and
uncharted territory. Businesses need people who can manage
the company’s financial assets effectively and determine
where the most beneficial returns on investment may be
found. This bottom-line driven symposium will supply you
with the business knowledge and project management
insights you need.
