Strategic Project Development Program - 2009 VIRTUAL
Global Delivery - Virtual Classroom - "Knowledge to Go!"
This program was co-founded by Eric Jenett, co-founder of PMI and first PMP - Certificate
No. 1, a decade ago. His idea was to develop an advanced project management training
program for experienced project managers. He believed it needed to be in an academic
setting at the graduate level but practical in application. The result is a program that is
advanced training for experienced Project Developers and Managers and was developed
for delivering the advanced training and contact hours for re-certification of the PMI PMP.
Formerly the Advanced Project Management Program, it has been updated and expanded
by 200% to cover ALL aspects of strategic project development and management while
retaining all previous program content. This program is sponsored by Project Management
Institute (PMI) Houston Chapter and is a legacy program from a decade-old joint venture
training program between PMI Houston Chapter and Rice University's Executive Education.
Note: Eric Jenett's extensive personal library on project management was donated to Rice
University and is now "on reserve" at the Business Information Center (BIC), Jones
Graduate School of Management, Rice University, for public access. Check out this
magnificent collection for researching the historical development of project management.
Starting in 2009, this program will be offered "globally" to those interested in strategic
project development and implementing strategies through projects. The previous limitation
of only delivering this program on select evenings from January through May requiring any
interested person to physically attend was a very limiting scenario. In addition, many were
not able to obtain this knowledge and skill sets constrained by this method. Now, however,
Professor Allen is making this available to everyone who wants this knowledge and at very
affordable pricing. In addition, 30 PDUs can be obtained by attendees.
Starts January 2009 - In January, 2009, the first module will be available. The date of
the class for global participation will be stated and delivered. Those who have signed up
for attending globally have the option of participating OR viewing it at a later time since all
of this will be recorded for access by participants at a later time should they desired.
This program presents the advanced skills necessary to professionally develop and
manage large, complex capital development projects with a business mindset and focus.
There is heavy emphasis on when and how to use unique tools and techniques of
development and management, group evaluation and discussion of case studies, lessons
learned, and proactive failure prevention in implementation of large, capital development
projects.
Participants will gain a comprehensive appreciation and full understanding of the
importance of systematically planning, developing, and controlling large capital intensive
development projects, strategic project planning and implementation, understand
corporate financing of capital development projects, and when and how to use structured
non-recourse financing. The participants will enhance their funding skills, improve decision-
making and leadership, and improve skills in strategic capital project development.
