Venue: 2020 AACE International Conference & Expo

Abstract: This presentation will address how to apply a serve, support and protect approach at every level of the organization including leading and supporting projects and programs. This will tell the stories of the presenter’s life journey.
These experiences included:

• Conducting a local press conference for a new voice-controlled computer, which a fledgling CNN picked up a broadcast worldwide in the early 90’s.
• Starting a tactical supply company with two of the original SEAL Team Six members a month before 9/11.
• Starting a nationally recognized sports performance coaching center which coached some of the best athletes of our time.

Learn how these experiences ingrained a servant leadership approach to project management and support. These learned techniques were the force behind a multimillion-dollar turn-around of a business with 5000+ projects and 1000+ project managers in just a few short months and changed the way we do business today.
Key techniques will be shared on:

• How to value Attitude v Aptitude
• How to build engagement and motivate project support teams
• How to build the “trust bridge” between groups and levels
• How to balance empowerment with risk management
• How to “fool-proof” performance metrics and information
• How to make decisions that don’t sink the project’s chance for success
• How to quickly get to root causes and realign problem projects with a sustainable recovery plan
• How to deliver synergistic results
