Advanced Project Management Program - Endorsements / Testimonials

PMI Clear Lake-Galveston Chapter Endoresment

I enjoyed getting together today to review the Advanced Project Management class that you
offer.  I think it is an excellent course, and very much addresses the requests we have received
from our membership from time to time for advanced training beyond the PMP, which as we
discussed is a “minimum” knowledge set, and definitely leaves room for more in-depth training on
various topics of project management.

I particularly liked the example based approach to the material, with a chance to foster real
discussion on how to handle the real issues that come up in a project.  I think this is exactly on
point for advanced training. Students frequently express the need for practical help in managing,
and that seems to be the focus of the course.

As VP, Professional Development for PMI Clear Lake Galveston, I can endorse making this training
known to our membership.  We can post it on the website as one of the available training
offerings, as well as do an email blast to membership to make them aware of the course, as we
have found that just posting things on the website doesn’t get very good penetration into the
membership’s awareness.  I also think that the one evening a month format will be popular with
those who are busy at their jobs, and find it difficult to make a block of time available.

PMI Houston Chapter Endorsement

We have arranged with Paul Allen, retired Adjunct Professor at Rice University’s Jones School of
Business, who many of you may know from our chapter meeting at the Energy corridor, to make
available Advanced Project Management courses at a discounted rate to Houston Members.

We have reviewed the materials for the advanced PM class and are impressed.  The class is
designed for those of you looking for advanced training with a pragmatic focus.  Emphasis is on
case study analysis, to provide guidance on dealing with the many different situations that arise
during projects of all types. Though this is being offered through the Energy Corridor Venue, the
course is not focused solely on energy projects, but would be useful to project managers in any
application area.

Testimonials - there are hundreds    

"Just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your time, expertise, and a refreshing perspective
on how the process works. Glad to hear that your home in Galveston remained unharmed and the
pictures you provided were reality that you don't screw with mother nature. Your communication
style is inspiring and motivating, wish I had professors like you in college! Great meeting you and
have a great weekend."

Advanced Project Management Program at Rice

"I gained the skills needed to survive a major implementation project this fall. The project was a
complete success. Enough said."

"Expectations were met and exceeded. Paul approached this class with a ‘let’s-give-them-a-deal’
attitude. PMI review and the workshop on software demos are examples."

"I recently used information presented by Paul, along with information gleaned from a case study
used in two of our classes to adjust our approach with a client on a complex work appraisal and
fee calculation. Many thanks to Rice and Paul Allen for helping me to help my client and company."

Annual PMI Risk Management Symposium Presentation on Project Finance Risks

"We met at the PMI Risk SIG Symposium in Houston earlier this year, where we were both
presenters. Honestly, I found your presentation to be not only the highlight of the conference, but
one of the best presentations I've attended all year. You brought us right into the world of project
financing, and opened my mind to a whole complex risk scenario I didn't know existed. I have a
feeling we may cross paths again, and hoped we might keep in touch.

You may remember me -- I spoke on organizational impacts of different levels of risk (project,
enterprise, etc.) I'm President of PMI in the San Francisco Bay Area."
