ABOUT THE COURSE
All project managers and field supervisors are loaded with tasks. Often it seems more like juggling and fire-fighting than it does “management.” Jumping from one emergency to the next may get the job done, but it is a struggle and there is always the risk of something slipping by that will come back to haunt you later.
So what’s the solution? Have a plan and follow its rules! The modern world is built on processes and standards – best practices and procedures that are followed every time to ensure repeatable results. The same is true for our industry; we’re just not very good about doing it!
How can you get all this done, especially when you are trying to manage multiple projects? Kirk will show you how – through proper planning, thoughtful execution, checklists, managing with numbers, communication and working as a team.
Attendees will learn the Ten Commandments of Project Management, and how they can help you stop the juggling act and start being a project management professional.
ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

Attendees learn the rules of the construction game – and how to play to win it!
