NOTEWORTHY NEWS FROM 2009 PMI LeADERSHIP INSTITUTE MEETING
One of the most talked about events of the 2009 PMI Leadership Institute Meeting (held 10/8-10/10) was the LIM opening Keynote Address by Dr. Gary Bradt entitled “The Ring and the Rubble”. Dr. Bradt, sponsored by Roeder Consulting, presented a message focused on practical tools for change. His overarching message suggested that within all challenging situations, there are opportunities that can, when recognized and acted on, lead to positive outcomes. His entertaining speech, uplifting message, endearing stories and practical insights made his Keynote an immediate hit. In an unusual move, Dr. Bradt was invited to also deliver the 2009 LIM closing address which was equally well received. Roeder Consulting is proud of our sponsorship of Dr. Bradt and pleased that his Keynote and message have been so well received.
NOTEWORTHY NEWS FROM 2009 PMI CongRESS - ENCORE PRESENTATION
As a part of the 2009 PMI International Congress, Tres Roeder presented (10/13/09) a white paper entitled "A Sixth Sense for Project Management® - The Human Side of Projects". The presentation focused on the need for project management professionals to utilize a “balanced approach” to project management. Mr. Roeder suggested that a “balanced approach” requires use of project management technical skills, business acumen and “Sixth Sense” people skills. “Sixth Sense” people skills are those skills needed to successfully manage the human side of change. Tres Roeder’s presentation drew between 150-200 Congress attendees to the session and the speech and message received a noteworthy reception.
Of the 73 project management presentations on Tuesday (10/13) at PMI Congress, only Tres Roeder was asked to do an “encore” presentation due to popular demand.

Roeder Consulting implements “Project Evergreen”
Roeder Consulting associates are dedicated to helping individuals and businesses change successfully. Besides dedicating time, effort, energy, financial resources and providing pro bono work for a variety of causes and organizations, RC associates have adopted many environmentally friendly work habits to reduce the company’s carbon footprint. From an internal materials recycling program to reasonably limiting travel to investing in advanced online learning options for our customers, we’re a responsible corporate citizen reducing our footprint and environmental impact. For Roeder Consulting associates, Project Evergreen is an opportunity for us each to practice what we teach and “change successfully”. There were easy steps to take, and habits to get into, that help make RC a more responsible corporate citizen. “Green” practices and reduced carbon footprints for businesses and homes aren’t a passing fad. Many forces degrade our natural environments and will continue to do so. So it makes sense that we should do what we can to limit our own impact whenever possible. Please read further about “Project Evergreen”. (link to what is slide 6 in this deck.)
