The PMI SIG Blue Light is On!
| Situation: You Want to Join a PMI SIG for Free. If you joined PMI between 1 July 2007 and 31 December 2007 but did not join a PMI Component, PMI is giving you the opportunity to join a Component of your choosing at no cost. They had some registration system hiccups and are making up for lost sign-ups. My personal favorite is the IT&T SIG - so I'd srongly urge you to join that one. |

Is Coaching Dead?
| Situation: You're Interested in Leadership Best Practices for Your Company This month's issue of Chief Executive magazine includes an article entitled, The Best Companies for Leaders.

The best practices were interesting enough:

Project Mgmt is UP ... and Down.
| Situation: You're Interested in Quirky PM Trends Since 2004 - it looks like "Project Management" is more newsworthy, while the term "Project Management" has become better understood and less searchworthy. Google Trends graphs the search volume over time of any key word set you put into it. Type in "Project Management" and you get the charts below. What do you think it means? (if there is any meaning to the trends...) |

Create a PM SHOW - and Put it on the Web
| Situation: You Need A Very Functional, Free Presentation Tool I've posted in the past about a number of different online presentation tools that compete with PowerPoint using a basic functionality/ease of use approach. None have the power of PowerPoint, but many offer the basics at low or no cost. ZOHO Show is part of a larger suite of online office tools that does a great job with the basic features that are 95% of what most users need. The latest version comes with the themes, shapes, fancy bullets, and clip art features that are basic to PowerPoint. It also comes with tag and widget functionality that are very web 2.0 and go beyond what a desktop app can offer. This means that you can create your presentation in ZOHO Show, then post it to your internal blog or any web page where the information might be useful to others (see below). this is incredibly simple to do by cutting and pasting aline of code, similar to the way you would post a youtube video. If you are a consultant pushing your services, you can show prospects what you know in ZOHO's public presentations section or even sew them into your facebook page. So there you have it, ZOHO Show is a pretty good way to create and share presentations online. |
