 Craig Curran-Morton, MA, PMPYou can have lots and lots of data, but where is the intelligence? We will help you find it. Business intelligence seems like a relatively simple concept: A business has questions and a need to find answers to those questions. However, there are many components to the discipline, including data gathering, storage, access, analysis, communication, action and feedback. All of this can be very confusing even to the advanced practitioner. The Business Intelligence department will help you gain an understanding of the basics and put some perspective to all of the details.  Bob WeinsteinWelcome to the Jobs Board! In this area we cover all aspects of employment from recruiting to retention, resume writing tips to interviewing (on both sides of the desk!) and everything in between. In short, I will supply you with all the tools you need to make that road ahead of you in your job search or recruiting effort look wide open and ready for you to tackle.  Mike DonoghueWelcome to the Internet's best resource for information about Customer Relationship Management. This is the interactive age, where success, for most organizations, will depend on their ability to learn how to treat each customer as an individual. This site is dedicated to providing information that can help companies understand CRM--what it means and how to make it work for you.  Doug DeCarloToday’s software development and systems implementation projects are increasingly falling into the eXtreme zone ... that arena of projects which is not only organizationally and technically complex, but also features high speed, high change, high unpredictability and high stress. These new breed, extreme projects defy the ceremony, monumental methodologies and well-intentioned practices of traditional, waterfall-like project management. Such approaches work well on projects which feature low speed and low change, but backfire on today’s extreme projects. The goal of our Extreme Project Management department is to connect you with the growing number of resources and people that can help you succeed in keeping today’s new breed, change-driven projects under control.  John SchlichterThe current global economic climate has ushered in an era of uncertainty that throws the importance of Organizational Project Management (OPM) maturity into sharp relief. It is critical for organizations to renew their ability to create cost efficiencies, economies of scale and agility to adapt to the changing business environment through projects. Many organizations are turning to the Project Management Institute’s OPM3® Standard. OPM3 was developed with input from thousands of project practitioners and represents best practices in Project, Program and Portfolio Management. OPM3 incorporates the PMI's PMBOK© Guide, the most widely adopted standard for managing individual projects, and expands this into the domains of Program Management and Portfolio Management. OPM3 emphasizes choosing the right projects to advance organizational strategies and implementing the processes, structures and behaviors necessary to deliver projects successfully, consistently and predictably. Standardization of project work methods lays the foundation for achieving higher levels of maturity and excellence to create the organizational agility and resilience you need in today's marketplace. This department is dedicated to current and prospective users of OPM3 and operates independently of PMI, bringing together perspectives from those who advocate OPM3 and those who advocate alternative solutions. The challenge: Selecting the vendor and package solution among hundreds of products, philosophies and promises and making the right choice for your organization to implement them. The solution: This department is designed to provide you with the resources on how to overcome the challenge (processes and methodologies), tools to overcome them with (templates and deliverables) and an opportunity to learn from what others have done (articles and discussions).  Michael WoodOrganizations exist to fulfill a value proposition with their stakeholders. To the extent the organization can do this, it prospers. Process Improvement, whether focused on re-engineering or continuous improvement, seeks to optimize and balance the value an organization can deliver over time. It must be born from committed leadership, measurable objectives and embraced by the knowledge workers of the organization. Process Improvement cuts across the organization laterally and horizontally. Pursued correctly, it can align the organization's operations with its strategic objectives. Process Improvement is more than projects, more than technology. It is a dynamic force that can change the way organizations think about and achieve their desired outcomes.  Mark MullalyThe Program Management Office is the focal point for project management in the organization. The reality is that the role spans a continuum of services that at its most basic serves as a centralized reporting function, and at its most involved assumes full responsibility for the portfolio of projects in the organization. Whatever the model in your organization, this department exists in order to provide you with the ideas, tools and information you need to succeed in your role.  Andrew MakarWelcome to THE place for information on issues impacting the C-level (CEO, CIO, CTO) decision maker. This site is dedicated to providing information to help senior executives master the planning, management and effectiveness of their project related investments for both the short-term and the long haul.
