It’s been a couple of weeks since my last post, but that can be easily explained by my participation in numerous events including:

• MCM Project Management’s “Nike Laptop 2009 Refresh”, in which over the course of a the first week of June, MCM Project Management, in conjunction with Siemens and in support of Nike’s own project manager, deployed over 400 computers to the Nike US Sales force. This choreographed deployment occurred during Nike’s recent sales event at the Tiger Woods Facility at Nike’s World Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon;
• The Development of basic and advanced Project Management Institute (PMI) registered and National Management Association (NMA) certified online, e-learning courses in Project Management for Savvy-U (www.savvy-u.com), a NEW source for certified continuing education, that will “go-live” on July 1; and
• My participation as a proud parent in my son’s graduation from Union High School in Camas, Washington. 

Over the course of the next couple of weeks, I will debut a series titled: “Project Life Management: How to implement real life efficiencies in your professional world.” I hope you will check it out and see how you can become more efficient by implementing real life efficiencies in your professional environment.
