Project Management That Works!
Ask Rick A. Morris about his blog, and he’ll tell you that Project Management That Works! is “a collection of ramblings, tools and free consulting” on a weekly-updated blog that allows the veteran PMP and ITIL Practitioner “to be able to share the latest best practices.”
Rick has the background that lends itself to sharing a wealth of expertise in a public forum. He owns R2 Consulting and wrote a pair of project management books in 2008, “The Everything Project Management Book” and “Project Management That Works”. He also is in demand as a public speaker at PMI Chapters, civic organisations and a frequent guest lecturer at universities. In addition to the Project Management Professional (PMP) and ITIL qualifications, Rick is further up to standard as an MPM, OPM3, Six Sigma Green Belt, MCITP, MCTS, MCSE, TQM, ATM-S and ISO. He says he endeavours to blend real world experience and down-to-earth delivery style in his consultations.
“It makes my passion for the profession contagious,” he says. “I have worked for organisations such as GE, Xerox and CA and have consulted to numerous clients in a wide variety of industries including financial services, entertainment, construction, non-profit, hospitality, pharmaceutical, retail and manufacturing. I’ve tried to inspire project managers by taking the experience of my youth and blending it with the knowledge I’ve attained throughout my career.”
Rick says the most widely read post on Project Management That Works! was a tribute to the life of Rita Mulcahy, a project management pioneer:
Death of a Pioneer: RIP Rita Mulcahy
He also talks about the people behind numbers, an organisation’s own capacity and a Microsoft Project Formula:
