For this month - the SF roundtable will go VIRTUAL. Zoom information will be messaged to those who enroll prior to the meeting.

Roundtables are informal gatherings of 10 to 15 Project Managers or people interested in the field for discussing current topics in the profession, gathering suggestions from the other attendees on current project challenges, or receiving information on items of interest.

These meetings also provide members an additional way to participate and gain benefits from their membership.

Pre-registration is recommended for evidence of attendance. Please be advised that PMPs are required to provide evidence supporting their reported learning project. This may include a log of discussions with notes and dates.

This month's special guest speaker is Lee R. Lambert, PMP, PMI Fellow, and CEO of Lambert Consulting Group.  Mr. Lambert will present Strategic Design and Project Delivery - Bridging the Gap.

This webinar will examine the critical relationship between organizational strategy and the execution of projects.  The potential value of maintaining strategy/project connection will illustrated and way to achieve and maintain that vital connection.

The supporting slides for this program will help make the relevance of PMI’s emphasis on the Strategic element of the Talent Triangle.  It will explain why “simply” being a good project manager will not be enough to survive in today’s world of careful selection of value-add projects. The sooner it can be determined that a project is not making a strategic contribution to organizational business objects, the sooner alternates can be considered.

Participants will be able to identify how their project fits in the organization’s strategic initiatives.  Using a sophisticated and integrated project management information system to support, identify and clarify strategic relevance of decision being made at the project level.
