WMPMI's monthly chapter meeting is a two-PDU event featuring two presentation sessions linked by networking time and a buffet dinner.  

Location: The Pinnacle Center - 3330 Highland Dr, Hudsonville, MI 49426 

Session 1 and 2 Speaker:  Laura Dribin, CEO and Founder of Peritius Consulting

Session 1 Topic:  Project Rescue

Description: 
A corporate strategy can only be as successful as the projects created to execute it. What do you do when your key initiatives are derailed or fall off the track? More importantly, how do you prevent it? This presentation will provide the audience with key lessons in properly prioritizing strategy, people, process and technology in your organization’s portfolio. This presentation will provide key signs and triggers to help the audience identify a failed project, a framework to categorize the root cause of the failure/s, determine if you should continue to move forward or scrap it and, ultimately, tactics to turn the project around and achieve organizational success.

PDU:  1.0 (Strategic)

Session 2 Topic: Outcome Management

Description:
This presentation will define outcome management in terms of reaching your strategic vision. You will learn how to improve your returns by focusing and prioritizing outcomes when managing the delivery of any initiative within your organization. This presentation will also define some common myths in project delivery and provide some tips to help you be a change agent in moving your organization towards an outcome based focus. This focus can be used both in defining and managing the success metrics of projects in your organization.
