Overview

In this presentation, Dr. Douglas Brown explains the Business Practice Paramedic approach to making a difference in organizations that are struggling to deliver products or services effectively but resist practices that would bring about improvements. You will learn how to replace the Maturity Models that aren’t working for you with a simple 3-step approach to finding and implementing values that will drive the long-term transformation you desire. This pragmatic, sometimes irreverent, approach evolved through “hard knocks” and has been proven in multiple public and private sector program recoveries. Lively attendee participation in the discussion will convince you that you’re not alone. Your struggle to get PM practices accepted is the rule, not the exception. By following the ABCs, you’ll discover how you can have other managers demanding that you implement the very practices they had earlier resisted!
