Less than one month to go

Momentum is building quickly now that we're four weeks away from the event. In recent days, we have added numerous presentations to the Conference Program page, and more are in the works. The conference agenda is nearing its first formal release, so stay tuned to this blog.

New presentation

A presentation by Diane Hayes, Ph.D PMP, has been added to the conference program. The title of her presentation is "All I Need to Know About Intellectual Capital Best Practices I Learned in Kindergarten" and her topic description is:

Intellectual capital – the intangible assets of skill, experience, productivity, information, knowledge, infrastructure, and relationships – can be used to provide a source of competitive advantage. Set in the spirited context of what we learned in kindergarten, we will move beyond the attention traditionally given to project schedule, budget and quality. This presentation will connect the concepts of intellectual capital management with project management practices and techniques. You will take away recommendations, best practices and lessons learned that can be immediately put into practice.

Momentum is building...

There's been a significant increase in traffic to the KPM Symposium web site, and participants are registering. As of today, we've posted 9 abstracts out of the 18 presentations planned, so stay tuned as we add more.

Major new speaker -- Lee Lambert, PMP

Mr. Lee Lambert, founder of the Project Management Professional (PMP) certification will be featured speaker at the KPM Symposium. Here is the abstract of his presentation..

In today’s world of project management it seems we often spend more time creating the illusion of having project metrics than we do actually using metrics to significantly increase the potential contributions to the challenging project decision making process.

This presentation will eliminate the “fog” factor for meaningful, value added project metrics and will provide a clear and concise look at several key metrics options that “could” make a significant contribution in the world of project management and for the professionals who have been charged with the responsibility of “decision support” AND project delivery. You will learn the truth about the statement; “It’s Project Metrics, Not Brain Surgery!”

Let Lee R. Lambert, A Founder of the PMP, take you on a journey into the real world of project metrics. His hard-hitting topic coverage and refreshing delivery style will make the trip an enjoyable one. You will be amazed at how much metrics based knowledge you will gain from this experience. You will return to the workplace with a new perspective and enthusiasm about metrics and all that they can do for you, your project and your organization
