Presented by: Storm Cunningham CEO, REVITALIZ, LLC (LinkedIn profile)
This session Duration 25 Min Credits: 0.25 PDU Category A
IPM Day 2011 Sponsored by: IIL and Partners (Rep# 1003)

The free viewing period extends through:
5:00 p.m. ET on Friday, February 3, 2012.

Most urban or regional redevelopment, revitalization, and “green” plans either are not implemented, or fail when they are.

In most cases, the primary reason for this is the lack of a comprehensive, collaborative, ongoing program to support plans and projects. In this presentation, you’ll learn how to create, fund and manage such programs.

PMs are often stuck in mid-level management positions, due to the transitory nature of projects. Ongoing programs, on the other hand, position PMs for higher-level executive roles.

Anyone interested in a career focused on revitalizing communities or restoring natural resources will discover the knowledge and tools they need to do so in this session.

Well, the best way to think outside the box is to get out of the box.
