One of the reasons I’ve been remiss in my posting is that I’ve been preparing to host the Spring 2009 executive forum of PMI’s Global Corporate Council. My SAP colleagues did a great job helping me host and this forum was particularly productive.
“Networking” is a pat response when one talks about joining or leading industry groups. What exactly that means came home to me after discussions with my counterparts from Siemens, Joe Sopko and Kevin McDevitt. On two topics, just a few minutes of conversation helped me confirm the validity of one approach (on how to augment on program management content) and introduced a better metaphor (for the architecture of our new methodology).
Nothing big, eh? But how much benchmarking and justification will I avoid because I can say “well, Siemens had a similar problem and they did X“?
