The real value of project management is realized when project selection and execution are in alignment with business and strategic goals. From project idea generation, selection, execution and delivery to the organization, communicating the vision and strategy of the organization to the project team is key.

At this year’s Symposium you will gain a better understanding of how to establish the strategic value of projects and assure stakeholder satisfaction. Join us on May 2nd at the Pines Manor in Edison NJ to gain knowledge and sharpen your Project Portfolio Management knowledgebase. The Symposium team is finalizing the program so stay tuned for the complete agenda.

We are also offering a Sunday afternoon workshop led by Brett Knowles Executive Partner with pm2 consulting. Brett will demonstrate the Balanced Scorecard allowing attendees to define and score their hands-on-efforts to realize project value.  Attendees will enjoy a team based, fun and engaging process to achieve learning goals.
