Course Description

Inevitably, younger A/E/C personnel begin to think about becoming project managers. “Moving up” seems logical. But is it best for you? If so, is this the best time to make the move? Does success as a project engineer guarantee success as a project manager? Are you contemplating a project management role because you want to or because you think you have to? According to Sunny and Kim Baker, authors of Idiot’s Guide to Project Management, “Project Managers fall into three basic categories: those who watch things happen, those who make things happen, and those who wonder what happened.” You and your employer want you to be in the “make things happen” group. To get there, the typical project engineer must learn how to think and act very differently. This pragmatic one-hour webinar-on-CD will guide you through the process of deciding if you want to become a project manager and, if so, how to do it. Project engineer and project management roles differ markedly; that’s the premise of this seminar. Those differences are described to help you and your employer decide if you should make the move. Recently appointed project managers will obtain advice on how to be more effective. This webinar-on-CD is intended for both private and public sector personnel.

Comments on Webinar

"It is a great format. It allows many of us to gather in the conference room during lunch hour to attend the seminar in a very efficient and limited timeframe. The hour length is fantastic. It fits into our brown bag lunch seminar plan."

"In an environment where time management is so crucial, it is wonderful to be able to attend a meaningful seminar with such little ancillary time commitments such as travel and coordination. My compliments. ASCE has found the perfect seminar format for today's busy professional."
