Derreck Kayongo was the opening keynote speaker. He was very engaging and made soap sound interesting. Okay, I'm oversimplifying. His message may have gotten a little buried by his story, but he was a good keynote speaker.
I enjoyed Spencer Horn's presentation. It was a shortened version of his coaching workshop. I love his passion for what he does.
I'm enroute, on the train, to day 2. We'll see what today brings. Saving Changes...
1) Michael Hughes - networking as a strategic project management resource. It was a good refresher on how to network. Michael is an interesting speaker, which reminds me, he has a short ebook on networking that i need to contact him to request.
2) Mark Hehl - it was advertised as a presentation on using Lean 6Sigma tools (plural) to ensure schedule performance. The focus was on using a variant of process maps to identify problem areas in a process. At first, i was a little put of by his presentation style, but then i realized that the issue was that I'm from California and he comes across as someone from the north east - just a different style. I'll be attending his presentation, this morning, on the complexities of global project management.
1) Adam Tidwell - The Six Page Narrative: implementing document and debate culture for project success. You might hear about this in future PMI conferences. It's based on his company's experience learned from leadership who came from Amazon. While i don't see me personally creating a six page document, replacing the project charter, the process borrows from OCM and engages stakeholders in a collaborative approach to defining project success.
2) V. Lee Henson - closing keynote. Excellent speaker. Both his message and story were on point. Saving Changes...
