Speaker’s Topic: When Academic Theory
Collides With Applied Reality. Time to Stop Talking About IT—and Start Doing IT
Abstract:
This presentation will penetrate through the heavy fog
of academic theory. The discussion will NOT examine how it should
be, but rather how it actually is in today’s fast paced, under resourced, need
it yesterday, project world. The focus will be on carefully
examining the value added use of basic and sophisticated project management
tools and techniques. The same tools, when used appropriately, that
separate the true active Project Management Professional practitioners (many of
whom may never sit for the PMP Exam) from the test-passing, on paper only,
PMPs. These are tools and techniques that can and should be applied
(used) in any project environment—engineering, new product development,
construction, R & D, and even IT.
Those in attendance will learn how to capitalize on
the power of the PM process. They will gain significant knowledge
regarding “real world” application of concepts such as Scope Decomposition
& Definition (WBS), Integrated Logic/Resource Allocation and Utilization
(Precedence Diagram), Risk Management/ Impact Analysis, Path Convergence, and
Earned Value. They will leave this presentation with a new attitude
and a new level of understanding as to how these tools of the trade will
enhance their personal performance, while at the same time, improving the organizational
performance.
NOTE: This was a Keynote Presentation for the PM
Symposium sponsored by the University
of Texas at Dallas August 19, 2008 and received a
standing ovation from the 200+ in attendance.
About the Speaker: Lee R. Lambert, PMP
PMI
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROVIDER OF THE YEAR 2007
In
the profession of Project Management, Lee R. Lambert, PMP has established the
standard against which others in the field are measured. Throughout
a fast-paced 18 year corporate career with Chicago Bridge & Iron, Lawrence
Livermore National Laboratory, General Electric (Nuclear Reactor Division) and
Battelle Memorial Institute - where he worked almost exclusively with engineers
and scientists--he quickly ascended to senior management positions and was responsible
for the development and implementation of ground-breaking, sophisticated
Enterprise project management processes for Engineering, Medical Diagnostics
and Research & Development.
In 1981, as a result of his pragmatic application of the PM methodologies, he
was invited to be an integral part of the creation of the Project Management
Institute’s (PMI) Project Management Professional (PMP) Certification
Program. He is a recipient of the PMI’s Distinguished Contribution Award
and was a member of the PM Network/PM Journal Editorial Review team for over a
decade. He also contributed as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) for the
PMI’s Earned Value Management System (EVMS) Practice Standard.
Educated as a Mechanical Engineer, he is a holder of a Master’s Certificate in
Project Management from GeorgeWashington University.
He most recently has been awarded one of the PMI’s highest honors for his
ground breaking applied learning programs: The Professional Development
Provider of the Year 2007.
As an author of two books and 32 professional papers, no other project
management educator/speaker can contend with his uncanny technical knowledge,
material content and refreshing and entertaining delivery—his hard-hitting, but
humorous style, has mesmerized more than 40,000 students in 22 countries.
In May, Wiley Publishing retained Lee as author of PMP Prep
A-All-In-One Desk Reference Guide. Lee takes the saying; “Been there,
done that, got the T-shirt” to a new level.
