The inaugural event "Shifting the Worry Curve" will be held on May 30th, 2012 and registration will be handled through IMEC's website.

• Examine the typical project worry curve
• Evaluate a superior approach to managing focus and project deliverables
• Understand the interrelationship of project management elements
• Learn to manage client and team member expectations
"One way manufacturers can contain costs and improve efficiency is by completing projects on-time and on budget," said Amy Fitzgerald, Marketing Manager for IMEC. "PMAlliance provides the processes and tools to enable even the smallest of manufacturers to make measurable improvements in execution, from lean implementations to larger capital projects."
PMAlliance, a Stone Mountain, Georgia-based company, has a long history of helping companies in the manufacturing sector to implement successful project management planning and control processes using the Duration-Driven Planning Methodology. This project management process combines training and consulting services designed to bring projects in on-time, within budget and to specification.
"PMAlliance is very excited to partner with IMEC to showcase the benefits of a rigorous planning and control approach to smaller manufacturing organizations throughout the State of Illinois," said Troy McKnight, a Partner at PMAlliance. "We believe the partnership with IMEC will provide a much needed channel for the Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers of larger manufacturing companies with world-class project management training and consulting support that they have been unable to afford."
