After almost two weeks I have returned from Kuala Lumpur attending and presenting at the PMI Global Congress for Aisa Pacific. What a great experience.

Thanks to the PMI Team putting this great Congress together. Thanks to SK for taking us on a tour, thanks to Tim for the great accompany, thanks for Robert for the great feedback on my first run of the Risk Management Workshop and thanks to everybody attending my two sessions. It has been a pleasure presenting in fron of you, it has been a pleasure to see your participation and it has been a pleasure to share so much expertise during the hours we spent together. Also thanks to everybody for their keenness to receive the slides and the templates.

First of all the slides. You can click through them right here or download them from the slideshare.net website. The templates will be emailed to the ones that have dropped me their business card. Feel free to comment in this post I like to hear your comments about this Congress.

February will be coming soon and the next PMI Global Congress Asia Pacific has opened registration. Lots of speakers have been locked in for the 2 1/2 days from the 09th to the 11th of February 2009.

Check out the Congress website for further details and or the program. The Congress will be held in Kuala Lumpur which is just 7 hours and around 1.000 AUD away from Brisbane and Australia (If you live in Darwin you might save a couple of hours. But do not know whether there is a direct flight to KL).

The Congress is followed by the PMI Seminars World. 8 great 2 day seminars will be held on Thursday and Friday the 12th and 13th of February, which is a great opportunity to obtain PDUs and to increase your skills.

Make sure you register as the early bird registration will close by the 23rd of Jan 2009.

By the way, I will also be there and facilitating a double session on Risk Management. The Title is “How to Identify, Measure and Manage Risk Throughout the Life Cycle of the Project”. Ok, the title is a little bit general. How ever, I will be taking about the following items at least

• Effective Health Checks to proactive mitigate project risk
• Effective Processes to manage Risk throughout your project
• How to facilitate a Risk Assessment in the early stages of a project
• How to present risk profiles to specific stakeholders and audiences

If you have some more ideas, please let me know.
