“Grow Your Own PMs”
This training is better than classroom training and even better than training using a project simulator. Because. PPS allows you to use an existing project, preferably one that you want to get off to a fast start. The training will be led by an expert Project Manager and allows your project team to learn while doing. This type of training is also good for the business client because it allows them to see by example the advantages of project management.
It is a great way to build the confidence in your project management team because they will be able to participate at the appropriate level and be able to ask questions during or after each daily session.
If you are trying to build a core competency in your own team then this is a cost-effective way to build skills in your Project Managers as well as in the project team members. They will be able to understand better the need for good planning and have input in building the deliverables. At the end of this session, your team will have gained valuable and reusable skills. Another side benefit of this type of training is the bonding of the project team around the common goal of completing this project.
Duration: 1 – 5 days
Follow-up: Mentoring and Coaching as needed will be provided by PPS personnel

Lessons Learned Process Design and Implementation
Many companies do not get the benefit of the mistakes and success of prior projects. Why? Because they fail to ‘learn’ from those mistakes and successes. Some companies go so far as to ‘capture’ or document the lessons but that is where it ends. A lesson documented or captured does not provide learning. When an organization wants to become a ‘learning organization’ they must make an effort to not only ”capture’ but to ‘apply’ the lesson.
Process and Project Solutions, Inc [PPS] is an expert in building common-sense repeatable Lesson-Learn processes. PPS finds that a process that is built on a foundation of best practices with the input of the people of the organization is a process that will be used. If your organization wants a process that works and will have a high level of compliance then you will benefit from this hands-on training.
Duration: based upon your organization’s requirements

Facilitation Training
A great amount of time is wasted in non-productive meetings and in other forums [such as brainstorming sessions, lesson learned sessions, status meetings or decision making meetings].
The culprit is usually lack of training in how to plan and facilitate these meetings or forums. You and your people are not the blame because the skill to plan and facilitate is an art and a science. Fortunately, it is a skill that can be learned. Process and Project Solutions, Inc [PPS} provides hands-on training that will allow your employees to learn while doing.
The next time you sit around a table with a few of your peers and feel the need to multiply the amount of money being wasted or you find yourself at a status meeting that last more than an hour or a brainstorming session where most of the participants are not engaged then step outside and call PPS. We will show you and your team how to plan and execute meetings and forums.
This training is better than regular facilitator training because we come along side of you and utilize your own meetings/forums and your people as the training ground. The training will be led by an expert facilitator that will guide your team through different types of meeting settings from the planning to the implementation. You may identify some people as facilitators and they will receive additional coaching on-site and additional coaching after the training is completed if necessary. Another great outcome is that those that are designated as the facilitator will learn ‘how-to’ but those attending the forum or meeting will learn by example. Once your people see the effectiveness of a meeting using our proven methods they will want to follow the ‘best practices’ and will allow these best practices to infiltrate the organization.
Duration: based upon your organization’s requirements
Follow-up: Mentoring and Coaching as needed by PPS personnel
Participants: Anyone that wants to learn how to effectively facilitate meetings/forums
Sample Deliverables:
· Best Practices for Meetings/Forums
