This was a great class for a first time supervisor. For me personally, it was just affirming topics/skill sets for which I am previously familiar. Dr. Brown has a breadth and depth of knowledge and experience for which we only scratched the surface. I look forward to taking additional classes to learn more from her. Thank you!
Dr. Brown is great, very engaging in lectures, and provides great comments in our assignments! She is attentive and diligent, and incredibly knowledgeable about project management and current trends.
Case Study
Siemens:
Project Management
Training
Customer Intro
Siemens – a multinational technology organization is known for outstanding performance and exceptional customer service with reliable, and consistent professional delivery. As a global organization, it has achieved standards that its customers can confidently depend upon no matter where in the world they interact with Sieman’s staff.
Problem/Goal
To achieve this consistent, reliable, high standard in its project managers across the global organization, Siemens requires all its project managers to obtain the premier project management certification from the Project Management Institute, the Project Management Professional (PMP). Siemens recognizes that intensive exam preparation and training is essential to achieve the best results. Therefore, Project Managers are bought in from all locations to a centralized facility and a professional, PMI certified trainer is procured to prepare the project managers to take the PMP Exam.
Solution
Dr. Carole Brown, PMP, PgMP, ACP, and a certified PMI PMP trainer was bought in to lead a group of 40 Siemens project managers through an intensive five-day PMP Exam preparation class. Nine hours a day of lecture, quizzes, Q&A, and discussion takes place to help the project managers not only learn the material required but to study techniques for taking the exam, how to prepare for the exam, and what to expect in the exam.
Results & Benefits
The project managers have up to one year to take the exam, and results are reported back intermittently. At this writing, all reported exam participants have passed the exam in their first sitting. These newly certified PMPs bring prestige and value to Siemens and their partners and customers. The knowledge gained in the project management discipline will enable them to perform at a professional level with confidence.
Inspiration
The project managers were exhausted after the intensive five-day program but were thrilled with the value of the experience.
