We have an obligation to the citizens we serve. The current climate of local and global economic turmoil demands a strategic approach to efficiency and service to our communities.

OPENING KEYNOTE
How Does Your Garden Grow?
The Secret of Successful People and Project Management
Gopal Kapur, President, Center for Project Management
The secret of successful people management lies in a process that has been around us for over 2,000 years - stop and smell the roses; it all begins in your garden. Management expert Gopal Kapur says he learned many of his people management skills and techniques by watching the gardener at his parent's home. There are seven steps that lay a strong foundation not only for a successful garden, but also for successful people and project management. From the first step of analyzing and preparing the soil to harvesting, celebrating, and letting the ground rest, today's beleaguered managers can, and should, learn the lessons that successful gardeners have known for centuries.
In this session you will learn the interesting parallels between gardening and successful people and project management, two seemingly diverse professions, and will see how to grow a bumper crop of project successes.
