Looking for management solutions? Come to this presentation for specific answers to your challenges! Project management is the science of planning, scheduling and controlling an aggregate of diverse activities that must be completed in the proper order to reach a predefined objective within a specified timeframe. Join Meryl Natchez to discover how like a mosaic, each individual component must stand alone and work in sequence with the others to result in a successful project.

This presentation will provide practical and innovative techniques for management success. Some of the topics Meryl will cover include:

• Achieving objectives in politically charged environments
• Getting technology to work for you, not against you
• How to best break up major projects into manageable chunks
• Managing in a virtual world

Attendees will be invited to share their own management challenges for a lively and personal discussion on how to best solve them. Participants can expect to come away with specific tips on how to handle a wide range of problems that emerge when managing people or projects, based on the audience’s own struggles. The presentation also includes a handout of warning signs of potential problems and how to address them.
