Advanced Project Management Skills – The Next Level

We all understand that profits are gained or lost in field operations. Many project managers in the industry have received some basic training in project controls. Fewer, however, are given the opportunity to take advanced training to hone their skills. The ability for the project manager to eliminate the roadblocks our field can put in our way will lead to increased productivity and profits.
