Executive SummaryOver thirty years experience in Business and Financial Management, Information Technology and Project Management, with an in-depth knowledge of project and program management methodologies and practices, plus life-cycle development techniques, business process practices, quality and risk management processes. Michael has been highly successful in Management and as a Consultant working with many organizations small and large to bring positive results to their projects and business plans. The goal and objective has been to work on short term engagements for start-up companies to help establish the project management practices in this niche market, however, in many cases the term of engagement has run to years rather than months, and the companies contracted have been a little larger, for example IBM, Triversity (SAP), and Canada Cartage (established in 1914). Organizations find that Michael's business focus enables them to use more of his services and for him to deliver beyond the original expectations. Over the past ten-years Michael has been a volunteer with the Project Management Institute (PMI) and has taken many positions of responsibility with the local Chapter where he was pleased to be President for three years. PMI has provided him with many opportunities to be a speaker at conferences around the world and has allowed for this to become one of his core offerings under the brand noted below. He is a sought after speaker, business focused project consultant and an acknowledged expert in project management. Brand StatementMichael is a practical and resourceful project manager with many years of experience. He recognizes the need for project management and the benefit that project management brings to an organization. Through the challenges of defining projects to the delivery on or above expectations, the day-to-day frustrations of constraints, invalid assumptions, missed key activities and the risks that no one wants to review, has led to his brand statement that is now used in his presentations and communications: “IF THIS WAS EASY SOMEONE ELSE WOULD BE DOING IT”©. As a good project manager, a coach and mentor, trainer and presenter, Michael is able to take his experiences and his Brand to help businesses, executives, managers and project managers work their way through these challenges and enable the acceptance that project managers may be paid to be frustrated and that is okay. He is adept at dealing with the challenges and prioritizing the issues to ensure success. Value & Performance Drivers
