Then it was off to prepare for the seminar and settle in our cozy cabins. AJ Collier and Walter Viali, Presidents of the CLG and Houston PMI chapters, respectively, kicked off the seminar with words of welcome along with breakfast provided by PMCentersUSA a Registered Education Provider (R.E.P.) of the Project Management Institute.

Independent consultant Mark Monteleone provided valuable techniques to better manage business analysts and avoid conflicts between the business analyst and the project manager.
 Frank SaladisOn the last night of the cruise we held another networking event sponsored by Innovative Management Solutions based in Plano, Texas, where we discussed the many benefits of conducting these seminars at sea. For example, for the typical price of a seminar one can take advantage of all the amenities of a cruise ship, such as great food, different activities for the whole family, relaxation, duty free shopping, terrific entertainment and exotic ports of call - definitely a great value! We also had a member of the planning committee, Deborah Crouse, coordinate events for spouses and significant others so that no one would be bored while the PMI members attended the seminar. To wrap things up, after collecting a number of lessons learned, this year’s planning team made a commitment to make Seminar at Sea III even better. However, given the quality of this year’s speakers and the dedication of the SAS II planning team, achieving this goal is going to be a significant challenge. To inquire about Seminar at Sea III or be considered as a speaker, please contact AJ Collier president@pmiclg.org or Bob Masch vpmembership@pmihouston.org.
New PMI Standard for Project Scheduling to be Introduced The Project Management Institute (PMI®) has announced that it will introduce a new global standard, the Practice Standard for Scheduling, at the PMI Global Congress 2007 - EMEA taking place during 14–16 May 2007 in Budapest, Hungary. The congress in Budapest will be PMI’s primary project management educational and networking event in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) this year.  According to PMI’s website, practice standards are guides to the use of specific concepts identified in A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide)—Third Edition. They address and detail a project management process, set of processes, tool or technique that is generally recognized as good practice in the execution of projects. According to the PMI information, the Practice Standard for Scheduling is intended to transform the Project Time Management Knowledge Area of the PMBOK® Guide into an actionable and objective methodology that project managers can apply to their project schedules. While designed for someone who has experience in scheduling, the standard is not industry-specific, and provides information that is good practice for most projects most of the time. The new practice standard is for someone who has experience in scheduling and is more detailed than scheduling software regarding the nuts and bolts of scheduling. The standard is designed to provide a way for schedulers to determine if their own schedules are adequate or need further refinement. The new Practice Standard for Scheduling was developed by a team of PMI volunteers under project manager Douglas D. Clark and deputy project manager Harold “Mike” Mosely, Jr., P.E., PMP. For additional information or to purchase the new practice standard, visit: http://www.pmibookstore.org/PMIBookStore/productDetails.aspx?itemID=868&varID=1.

PMI CEO Balestrero Predicts Project Management Reported from Dallas Texas, USA by David Pells and Nelson Soucek. Immediately following his recent two week trip to China, Greg Balestrero, CEO of the Project Management Institute (PMI ®), predicted that “the center of excellence in complex project management is no longer here; it’s moving Eastward.” He made the statement during his closing keynote speech at the Professional Development Day seminar sponsored by the PMI Dallas Chapter on Saturday, 28 April. 
According to Balestrero, “I returned on Friday from two weeks in China, visiting Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Shanghai and Beijing. The growth there is phenomenal, with projects everywhere and the commitment to project management education and certification is staggering, with thousands of Chinese engineering students enrolled in PM programs now. China will soon be the leader in managing large complex projects.” Mr. Balestrero was traveling in China earlier in the month with several executives from Western corporations, along with Linda Vella, Chair of the PMI Board of Directors. Everywhere he went, he stated, “the Chinese are focused on results. It’s not about the process; it’s about results!” Other comments during his speech included: “The government of China establishes five year plans. Eight years ago, they said they would build 45,000 kilometers of new highway. That’s more highway than there is in the United States. They said they would do it in ten years, but they’re nearly there already.” “In their latest five year plan, they said they would bring prosperity to Central China. The third most used word in that plan is “project”. That’s what China is about; it’s about projects. Projects are in two primary areas – construction and IT. It’s everywhere!”
 “The Chinese have recognized that project management is indispensable for business results. Now their idea of business may be different, but they’re about projects and about results. And they achieve those results in ways that are remarkable!” “I go to China two or three times a year now, which is not enough. Each time I visit, I am amazed at the change. The estimates of change are always underestimated. And the biggest change this time is the maturity of project management over the last 12 months. It’s improved markedly!” “China is now one of the biggest engines of commerce and change in the entire world. They’re shaking us to our very roots. The world is changing around us. It’s very exciting, but it can also be very threatening at the same time.” “The United States graduates about 60,000 engineers, technologists and scientists every year. China is graduating 600,000; India is graduating 300,000.” “In 2004, China said ‘we need more project managers’. They decided to establish project management programs in all the engineering schools. They authorized 93 of them in the fall of 2004. There are 16,000 students in the program two years later.” “Huawei, which is one of the largest telecommunications companies in the world, is a new kind of company in China. Founded in 1988, today it has a turnover of about $11 billion USD. Its revenues double about every year. So they’ll probably go up to $20-22 billion this year. They have 20,000 projects ongoing at any one time. 49% of their employees are in R&D, out of 63,000. Their life cycle for new products is less than 12 months. They have a goal to cut it in half.” “China is very focused on results. They are very project focused. They have qualified 3,900 people to take the PMP exam. They have 2,700 PMPs in China. Three years ago they had none. They believe that project management is crucial!” “The biggest problem that we have heard about from executives is the lack of qualified project management professions. We have heard this in China, in London and around the globe. I estimate the demand for PMPs to be in the order of 25 million worldwide.” “The drive towards more transparency, accountability and integrity among corporations and executives has focused more attention on projects, project management, and, especially, on project controls. But this is a two-edged sword. It means that project managers and project management professionals are in the spotlight and must deliver results. Project management needs to get better!” 
Greg Balestrero’s 45 minute presentation was the closing keynote speech for the PMI Dallas Chapter’s first annual Professional Development Day in Dallas, Texas, USA. (Greg Balestrero in photo receiving star award from Dwaraka Iyengar, PMI Dallas Chapter President.) The day’s activities also included an opening keynote speech by Gopal Kapur, Founder & President of the Center for Project Management in California, a luncheon keynote address by former Dallas Cowboys’ star quarterback Roger Staubach, and 24 professional presentations over six tracks on PM related topics by local PM leaders and experts.

Drawing on his many experiences in football and business, Roger told stories and described experiences to demonstrate the importance of teamwork, sacrifice and leadership on project teams. His most significant message: “if you care more about team success than about your own, the team will be more successful and so will you!” He delivered some very funny but educational anecdotes from individual football games and seasons, including the famous 1971 season when the Cowboys turned a mediocre season into a championship one after losing four games, to end with a ten game winning streak based on an attitude change from individual to team success. Roger was also extremely complementary of his co-workers at The Staubach Company, emphasizing the importance everyone in the company places on honesty, integrity, communications, teamwork and customer service. He noted the importance of technology and their IT group to everything they do today. 
Following his 45 minutes talk, Roger was presented with a gift by PMI Dallas Chapter president Dwaraka Iyengar, then stayed for photographs and short visits with members of the conference team and speakers.
