The Project Management MBA Join Gary Heerkens in a one day workshop that explores "The Big Picture" between Project Management and business. What does it mean to be “business-savvy”? How can project management professionals get there? What are some of the core business-savvy competencies? Many project management professionals struggle with the question of how they can contribute more value to their organizations. By far, the most effective approach comes in learning and understanding how to apply methods and tools for “connecting  the dots” between projects, project management practices, and their organization’s business practices. Simply stated, they must develop their business-savvy in addition to their technical savvy.
