PMICOC continues to “Lead the Way”.
It is fitting that “Leading the Way” is the July 2010 Central Ohio PMI Programs Theme. Project Managers are expected to be leaders and to have the skills needed to organize people to accomplish work. Historically there has been a strong correlation between difficult economies and advancement in the acceptance of Project Management practices as companies are forced to work smarter to produce more with fewer resources. With this realization, there can be little doubt that the call has been sent. The time is now. To be prepared to answer this call, we have to focus on some key skills. Passing a test is not nearly enough. The importance of knowing how enthusiasm, leadership, and team motivation applies to project management and attaining these skills are the driving reasons for July’s theme: LEADING THE WAY.
PMICOC Leadership Team New Addition. Please join me in welcoming Cecelia McFadden as VP, Member Services! Cecelia has been a member of the chapter for over a decade. She has developed training and standards for program management, process re-engineering, project outcomes and deliverables. A PMP since 2004, she has consulted with internal and external organizations to develop and deploy PMO’s, methodologies, and PMI best practices worldwide. As a result she has acquired broad experience in planning and leading program management efforts in the public and private sector. She has worked at a variety of organizations in technology leadership roles ranging from PMO Director to CIO. She currently serves as a Managing Director for a small business enterprise having responsibility for strategic planning, technology needs, business development and quality assurance support.
