 April 14, 2009 7:30am to 9:00am featuring “Black Bag of Tricks” by Terry Knecht at the Clarion Hotel & Convention Center, 525 33rd Ave SW, Cedar Rapids (319) 366-8671.

There are very good and detailed road maps on how to manage a project. There is PMBOK. There is all of the theory. Beyond these canned solutions there are a number of techniques and structures that have been tested by the counterattacks of adversity that provide the practitioner the advantage in the struggle for a successful project. Terry will cover very specific environmental structures (things that should exist before the project starts), how to position the game board for advantage, and effective execution strategies.

About the Speaker: Terry Knecht (MBA, CISSP, PMP) is the Assistant Vice President, Chief Information Officer for The University of Iowa Foundation. He previously held the position of CIO with Blue Cross of Wisconsin, United Payors and United Providers (UP&UP) of Maryland, and Lexi International of Los Angeles. He led a total re-implementation of all technology at both Lexi and UP&UP. The project to develop a multi-site telemarketing software solution at Lexi International resulted in an award for the Visionary Use of Information Technology in the Field of Business by the Smithsonian Institute ComputerWorld.
