Vcast 1 - What is Project Management? - $6.00

Over the past 20 years, the project management discipline has quietly matured in the shadow of the more capital intensive supporting functions of information technology and telecommunications. However, we have now reached the understanding that, second only to undaunted leadership, effective project management is the leading force of innovation, efficiency, and progress within our organizations irrespective of the degree of applied technology. This new understanding of project management is in conflict with the dry and staid expectations of this discipline that still prevails in many quarters. In this vcast we stake a bold, fresh claim on the essence of project management and recognize that a project manager is someone who both authentically wants to "do some good" AND has the will to face risks others fear to confront.
