Welcome - Our Next Chapter Meeting - April 13th
The next PMI breakfast meeting will be held on Tuesday April 13th, 2010 from 7:15 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. at the Clarion Hotels and Convention Center, 525, 33rd Avenue, Cedar Rapids SW. The Clarion Hotel and Convention Center phone number is (319) 366-8671.
PROGRAM: The April 13th presentation will be “Decision Making and Critical Thinking Skills?”, presented by Jamie Ward.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM: Logic and deductions are used to make everyday decisions. Decisions arrive from an unpredictable combination of insight, intuition, wisdom, feelings, hunches, timing and binary solution devices (the coin toss.) Decisions are easy, the right decision much harder and great decisions, nirvana. Exploring the path to a decision provides useful, usable insights. Jamie is an artful weaver of verbal images with practical ideas. This upbeat session focuses on how decisions are made, types of decisions, a fun look inside your brain and decision making tools.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Beginning with a computer science major, W. Jamie Ward has journeyed through Software, Quality and Process Engineering, seeing every aspect of many diverse programs. With confidence and a vision, he completed the biggest item on his “life list.” Through his cooperate sabbatical he has added anthropological insight to his skill-set as he transitions to life’s next step. With an uncertain economy, Jamie and his partners are confident this is the right time to launch two separate companies, another check-mark on his life list.
