Philosophy:

The PMP project management methodology provides the perfect framework for considering all the components in a successful software implementation project.  The more precise and thoughtful the plan, along with diligent management of that plan, the better the outcome for all stakeholders and participants. 

“My healthcare project management philosophy stems from one of the lessons my father imparted on me and my 3 sisters growing up …. If you’re going to do something, you might as well do it right the first time. The best way to do something right the first time is to plan your work; and work your plan.”
