Featured Presentation:

“Selling the PMO, and Other Concepts, to Executives”

Anthony Reed, PMP

Unless you have unlimited resources, no project deadlines, and high internal customer satisfaction, you don't need to establish a Project Management Office (PMO). Unfortunately, most of us are asked to drive projects through completion with limited resources and tight deadlines.

This Keynote presentation shows you how to sell the PMO concept to executives and ensure the PMO's success. You'll learn how to: justify the creation of a PMO, determine the type of PMO to establish, and sell the concept to executives and gain their full support.

Mr. Reed is an IT professional with 25 years in management and executive positions for various Fortune 500 companies, governmental entities, and large consulting firms. He's been interviewed on radio and webcast programs and featured in the business, travel, and sports sections of major newspapers and publications across the country. He has four books and over 50 articles published. Mr. Reed has also completed one hundred marathons around the world, on all 7 continents, and in 30 states.
