One of the best PM-related Conferences of the last several years was Dick Rutledge's 2006 Delivering Project Excellence, in Scottsdale. And now, as he says, he's "back in the saddle again", so asapm is helping sponsor and promote his latest event.
Background: Much of our audience has been around PM for years, so you may remember the Project Leadership Conferences, sponsored by ABT in the 1990s. That series quickly became the gold standard in Project Management-related conferences. The result: others, such as professional associations, soon emulated the style and some of the substance of the conferences. Dick Rutledge, originator of the Project Leadership Conference and the Delivering Project Excellence series, is now presenting the 2009 Resource Planning Summit, June 29-30, in Chicago, IL.
asapm will have a table at the 2009 Resource Planning Summit, giving our members and friends to the opportunity to meet with our Leadership team. asapm President Lew Ireland will be among those appearing. Come see us!
The 2009 Resource Planning Summit targets a range of participants from Executives and Resource Managers (across the enterprise, not just IT) to Portfolio Managers, to Project and Program Managers--clearly a more-advanced audience than we typically see in PM-related conferences. And, to help you see what's in it for you, see this information from the from the 2009 Resource Planning Summit website:
Why Should You Attend?
- Resource Planners are not armed to protect key skills in economic downturns, or advise management on which skills to hire in good times
- Resource Planners can't gain traction for their recommendations without credible supporting evidence
- Portfolio Managers need to view credible resource allocations across the enterprise
- Resource Managers do their resource planning independently: Consolidation and enterprise visibility are needed
