Successful project management is like a dance; it looks easy when done right, but also easy to look foolish without knowing the basics. Project Managers need to adapt to frequent change, juggle many involved parties and stakeholders, and organize next actions for an entire team of people. Even experienced project managers struggle to control the chaos of large projects without a Project Management System to guide them. This program’s system is a guide for creating and executing a plan, managing change, invoicing, and measuring performance. This overview is beneficial for anyone looking to improve their project management processes, including consultants, designers, construction contractors, and insurance and legal professionals who handle mismanaged projects. While it is impossible to learn a dance that works for every song, this structure gives the fundamentals needed to be confident in adapting to any tempo or genre a project may bring. Title:

November 19: International Expansion - Leveling the Playing Field for Midsize Companies and Startups

Companies from across the world, including small and midsize, have decided to enter the U.S. market – a decision predicated on a variety of strategic considerations. A U.S. presence gives companies credentials, access to capital and strategic partners, and helps build the reputation necessary for global expansion. Expansion to the U.S. or moving an existing business from a foreign jurisdiction to the U.S. can, indeed, be an exciting time for an entrepreneur. 

However, to achieve success, non-U.S. companies must consider a series of interrelated legal and cultural factors – from good corporate hygiene to leadership to attractive positioning for investments or the exit. In this session, we will discuss the various considerations foreign companies must evaluate when expanding to the U.S., as well as the savvy, ‘plugged-in’ team of professionals who must collaborate to benefit these inbound businesses. 

 This will be an interactive Zoom meeting, so please be prepared for introductions and to talk about your big wins in our breakout rooms at the start of the meeting. For MCLE verification of attendance, we encourage everyone to use computers rather than phones to call in.
