Public Seminars on Project Management
Value Based Decision Making Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process
PMI Chicagoland Chapter
October 15, 2008
7 PDU's
Course Description
Dr. Brown taught this course to the Project Management Office (PMO) in a Fortune 100 company as a basis for project selection. Long after the training, the PMO was not only receiving accolades for what they had done with the project selection process, but the success of this process caused the executive level leadership to task the PMO to use the Analytic Hierarchy Process for other critical decisions in the organization. Register now and get the same powerful course at a drastically reduced rate because of the collaboration with the PMI Chicagoland Chapter for this event.
Dr. Brown has spoken at PMI Chicagoland three times and if you have heard one of his presentations you know he believes in making the complex simple. He believes in teaching his clients to be self sufficient so they can do what he does on their own.
The difference between Dr. Brown and the high profile consulting firms is that Dr. Brown teaches you how to do it yourself.
About ½ of his clients still have him come back and do it anyway because they want the integrity and impartiality of an outside facilitator, even though they know the process. The other ½ choose to be self sufficient just like the Fortune 100 PMO previously mentioned. He shares with you what he knows and what has worked for him.

Dr. James T. Brown PMP was awarded the NASA Public Service Medal for his support of the nations Space Program. He used the analytic hierarchy process to prioritize NASA Safety Initiatives and support agency wide strategic planning. He recently used the process this year to facilitate the prioritization and development of NASA Glenn Research Center's goals, objectives and challenges. He has taught this technique at multiple NASA centers and the private sector.
After completing this course a lot of participants realize their organizations existing project selection system is little more than voodoo, lacks real credibility. Most importantly their selection method usually doesn't give the correct priority to the most important projects causing lost revenue and increased costs. If you miss this course you will not hear why Dr. Brown says ROI is the most overrated project selection criteria even though it is the most popular.
