Presents

‘PM Fundamentals

for Non-Project Managers’

Are you an IT Leader looking to reduce costs?

Need to execute projects and don't have the budget to engage formal Project Managers?

Why not re-purpose your existing resources!

In this time of reduced capital and operating budgets we are finding that many IT organizations are challenged with finding ways to continue to deliver projects in a highly constrained environment.

In some cases, this may result in the management of projects by individuals who may have been temporarily seconded into the role of ‘Project Manager’ in order to maintain project execution without the incurred costs of a formal project manager.

In order to assist our clients to realize this value, we have established a ‘Project Management Fundamentals for Non-Project Managers’ training program:

Maximize Your Value:

Continue to maintain operational and capital financial efficiencies while delivering projects

Realize the value of engaging individuals into the Project Management domain of knowledge while successfully executing projects

The course is facilitated by senior Corporate Oasis resources who remain available to assist your team before, during, and after training

Our content provider is the 2012 recipient of the PMI worldwide ‘Continuing Education Provider Of The Year’

Maximize Your Focus:

Provide a ‘common language’ for Project Management activities within the organization

Eliminate potential ‘white space’ knowledge gaps that can occur between IT disciplines

Provide a potential growth roadmap for individuals into the Project Management discipline

Align individuals to the Project Management practice within the organization

Maximize Your Flexibility:

All courses are provided in an interactive classroom format by a senior Project Management instructor

Classes can be conducted at your premises

Session schedules can be modified to suit your needs

We would very much appreciate an opportunity to introduce ourselves and would be pleased to provide an introductory presentation.

PMI SAC Dinner Event (April 2015)

2015-04-11T14:00:00.002-07:00

CORPORATE OASIS

PMI SAC DINNER EVENT

WEDNESDAY APRIL 29th, 2015

CALGARY, ALBERTA

Corporate Oasis is excited to have Ken Swenson as our guest speaker for the evening who will be sharing his experiences in Risk Management, particularly with regards to his involvement in the extinguishing of the Kuwait oil field fires in 1991.

The event will be held at the Metropolitan Conference Centre (333 4^th Avenue SW) on Wednesday April 29^th, with a cocktail reception at 5PM.

Hoping that you can make it out!

The Hard Won Lessons of Risk and Communication Management

The year was 1991 and the US led coalition military forces had just defeated Saddam Hussein’s short lived occupation of Kuwait. During their retreat, the Iraqi forces had deliberately set fire to over 800 oil wells which, along with the deliberately set ‘Gulf war oil spill’, represents one of the worst environmental catastrophes on record. Thanks to the rapid response and ongoing efforts of a number of dedicated teams the fires were finally extinguished by April, however the effects and learnings from this incident have continued to ripple through the decades. As a result of his part in the extinguishing of these wells, Ken Swenson has taken these learnings and continues to apply them in the field of Risk and Communication Management throughout his career.

For companies, as well as countries, Risk Assessment and Mitigation plans are critical in contributing to the success of the project. Every organization starts out with the best intentions but plans can get off track or diverted due to a number of reasons and quite often this ends up in huge cost overages or complete failure. Communication between management and the lower level workforce allows better insight and the ability to understand and listen to all pertinent information that will allow management to better succeed with the project at hand.

With insight provided from employees who are involved in the daily activities and see the project from a workers viewpoint, the corporate management will receive a better understanding on how to make the project more efficient, safer and cost conscious. This would then allow them an overall look on how to tackle any present or future problems.

Speaker Details and Background - Ken Swenson

Ken Swenson is a Senior Safety Management Systems Consultant and President of Swenson Safety Services Inc. His speciality lies in the oil and gas sector for both on-shore and off-shore work projects.

Ken started his career in 1969, joining a Canadian seismic company and spending the first 4 years of his career in the Canadian north and High Arctic. This ultimately led to a position overseas in Australia and a transition to off shore drilling, pipeline and production. The off shore work occurred in the Indian Ocean and Persian Gulf. During 1991-1992, Ken spent 18 months working on the Kuwaiti fires project. He was a blow out specialist involved in putting out the fires and killing / capping oil wells with the Canadian company Safety Boss.

During this 25 year span, Ken has worked in many countries, using Australia as a home base. Upon returning to Canada in 1997 he transferred to the Health, Safety and Environmental side of oil and gas and continued to work in a number of high risk oil exploration producing countries (Middle East, Africa and South America) with large corporations as well as small independent operations. This also included responsibilities in security, community relations and corporate responsibility.

Throughout almost 50 years in the business he has travelled to, worked in, or lived in over 130 countries and brings a lifetime of international experiences to the table.

Ken Swenson - Caught on Camera during the Kuwait Oil Field Fires of 1991 which demonstrates the hazards associated with this effort.

When covered in oil and in the desert heat, a person can’t perspire as his pores are sealed and can only be hydrated through intravenous injections.

It's funny, people ask why I would want to live in Calgary given our weird weather...

Well, if it weren't for:

-The strong sense of community
-The "Get 'er done mentality" of the business community
-Ability to do business on a handshake
-Neighbors that shovel your sidewalk when you're out of town
-Clean air
-Sunny skies
-Low taxes
-Low crime rate
-Increasingly diverse culture
-Proximity to the Rockies
-'Work Hard / Play Hard' culture
-Huge number of volunteers
-Strong and vibrant economy
-Relatively normal politics
-Some of the best fly fishing in the world

There'd be no reason to live here at all!

(And let's not forget, it's still only a one hour flight to the coast)

It's a great time to remind ourselves that we live in an awesome city!
