There is a science to project management, and an art. The science is established and the subject of many books, college courses, and certification programs. The art of project management is almost ignored. Yet, it is the art which separates the basically competent project managers from those who are the cream of the crop, those who can successfully manage projects when tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars are on the line.
No responsible executive, looking to hire a project manager to lead a large, high-risk, high-profile project should extend an offer without understanding what a project manager of that caliber needs to know, to do, and to be.
No responsible project manager should take on such a project without having first attained a level of mastery of both the science, and the art of project management.
Tom Sheppard specializes in managing large ($10mm+), high-risk, high profile projects in the US financial services industry. With more than two decades of successful experience, a masters degree in project management and a former Project Management Professional certification, he shares the secrets that make the difference between those who can successfully manage such large, risky projects, and those who go down in flames, often taking their project with them.
