To achieve positive results, project managers have to embrace an all-new philosophy of what it is they do for their organizations. The trick is to focus on value when managing a project, from its initial inception all the way through its completion.

This Webcast explores key concepts and approaches for establishing the value of a project, identifying project value drivers, developing performance metrics for tracking and reporting, organizing your team for improved accountability, and much more.
