"Environmental influences have long been recognized to effect project planning - now we are realizing these same influences are in effect in project execution. This conference identified these effects and provided tools and resources to take these effects into account in my business. The management of projects under constant environmental effect can be controlled and create better results with the techniques taught at this conference"
