Practical Strategies for Project Recovery Webinar SlidesPM Solutions
Organizations spend a lot of money on projects. In the last year alone, the average firm closed US$200 million in projects, according to a just-released study conducted by PM Solutions Research. And more than a third of those projects were troubled. That means US$74 million of those projects were at risk of failure. The good news is that project recoveries are common and firms that proactively undertake successful project recoveries report saving US$50 million on average per firm. Learn what other organizations are doing to recover troubled projects and the significant business results they have been able to realize.

Executive Summary
In this project we intend to streamline and enhance our customer’s user experience for his or her support related needs after or before a purchase have been made. Currently we only support a customer over the phone. At peak hours, this causes line congestion and long wait time for our customers resulting in dip in customer satisfaction level. The creation of a customer care website will allow our company to engage with the customer at multiple points including telephone which we already do. 90% of the calls we log are for general questions or are mostly order related which might not require a call in case a portal is available. This projects aims to create a customer care portal mentioned above for better customer satisfaction.
Over the last three years, our annual sales and revenues have almost tripled. While a phone support option was initially sufficient, peak hour service provision has become problematic. In case we want to go along with our existing support model, we would require to at least double our voice support specialist strength. This would result in additional recurring expenses for the company towards employee salary and equipment. The project should be able to address this issue as well and enable the company to achieve better operational excellence. Enhancement to the website will also be possible and will help us to align better with our customers.

Putting Technology to Work: Reviving New York’s 200-Year-Old City Hall
Shawn Pressley discussed how online collaboration and project management systems can help streamline communication and reduce risks for complex construction projects like renovating New York City Hall. An online platform provides secure information sharing, flexible processes, and complete documentation to improve efficiency and accountability among large project teams. Measurement shows these systems can reduce time spent on tasks like searching for documents by 66% and administrative hours by 80%, allowing projects to be completed on time and on budget with lower risk.
The document provides details about a concert benefiting the CCAR Scholarship Foundation's perpetual scholarship in honor of Nate Ellis. The concert will feature performances by the Golden Gate Boys Choir, Devil Mountain Chorus, Leandra Ramm, Pinole Valley High School Show Choir, Encore Vocalists, Business Casual, and acknowledgements will be given to supporting organizations and individuals. The proceeds from the concert will fund a perpetual scholarship awarded annually to assist a recipient with their college education, in Nate Ellis' name.
This document discusses software as a service (SAAS) and its benefits for healthcare organizations. It begins with background on SAAS, noting it has progressed from application service providers and allows internet-based delivery of software. Traditionally, each location needed its own IT resources but SAAS centralizes resources with one server and backup managed by the vendor. This maximizes resources and allows the vendor to focus on developing solutions for many customers. The document outlines benefits of SAAS like known costs, no need for own hardware, included backups and upgrades, and allowing organizations to focus on patient care. It categorizes types of SAAS and discusses accounting and technological implications, concluding that SAAS offerings are growing significantly.
