Taking Our Project Management Careers to the Next Level
The project management field out there is pretty crowded out there. Its no longer enough to be just really good at what you do. You have to be more. It’s no longer build it on time, on scope and budget. You have to add value over and above the normal requirements of project managers.
So how do we add value? How do we stand out in the crowd? How do we get recognized in this very crowded field?
Our speaker will get us thinking about what we can do to innovate our careers and get to the next level.
Key Take-Aways:
- What is our industry looking for in a project manager these days?
- How can we stand up and be recognized in a crowded field?
- What do I need to do to ensure career success as a project manager?
