PM Tip 7

Project Management Tip #7

When creating your project schedule, you must identify the Critical Path.  A project’s critical path is the longest sequence of scheduled activities that must start and end as scheduled and that determine the duration of the project.  If any activity on the critical path is late, the entire project will be late.

Learn more about Project Management Essentials for the Unofficial Project Manager.

The Learning Explosion

Earlier this year, two of my colleagues from our Online Learning Department at FranklinCovey released a great book titled, The Learning Explosion.  Authors, Matthew Murdoch and Treion Muller, discuss the importance of bringing Online Learning into organizations. 

As a company rooted in standard LIVE instructor led training (ILT), making this leap was huge for FranklinCovey.  But after plenty of market research and studying industry trends, we realized we needed to embrace this change, rather than shy away from it.  Matthew and Treion break the book into two main parts, The New Mindset and The New Rule Set.  If you are involved in L&D, consider picking up a copy of their book or checking out their blog.

In a recent blog post, 21 Ways To Create a Personal Learning Lab Today!  Treion and Matt  provide 21 tips, tools and apps to leverage the information available to you to make your own controlled learning environment.  To learn more about Online Learning, please go to our website to see what FranklinCovey has to offer or contact me directly.  At this time, we have approximately 40 webinars available and other types of self-paced learning (InSights On Demand and 7 Habits Interactive) that can be purchased individually or for an enterprise engagement.  Keep checking in regularly, because more offerings are in development and will be coming soon!

Taking learning to people everywhere!
