3PM, LLC provides a portfolio of services that include seminars, facilitated workshops, contract management, coaching and consulting. Each service comes with a balance of successful real world experience and excellent teaching and facilitation skills. The seminars are designed to provide the what, why, and the how for each concept which will allow participants to implement the concepts immediately. The design includes lecture, group exercises, personal exercises and interactive dialog.
As an example, during the Effective Project Management (EPM) seminar, each participant will plan a personal project. Some will present their draft plan to learn plan presentation skills and to improve the plan through interaction with participants playing the role of team members or project sponsors.
Outlines and detailed descriptions are available for the following service engagements:
· 1, 2 and 2 ½ day Effective Project Management (EPM) Seminars - These seminars teach the tools and techniques needed to effectively manage most projects in a simplified manner. A toolbox consisting of industry best practices is one of the “take aways” from these sessions. A ½ day follow-up session is also available to review client progress and to discuss additional topics or to receive additional coaching on live projects.
· 1-day Effective Process Improvement (EPI) Seminar - This seminar teaches effective tools for achieving process improvement.
