"Thank you for your compelling presentation at our Project Management Institute Luncheon Meeting. The correlations you identified between the Great Escape and today's project management challenges were educational and entertaining. The positive response was overwhelming from one of the largest audiences we have had at any event. Thank you!" Mary Beth Howe, PMP Noblis "Once again, Mark delivered an outstanding presentation for our audience of project managers and leaders. His intriguing and unique examination of the events leading up to and including the "Great Escape" from Stalag Luft III during WWII was right on the mark for professionals interested in the application of our project management principles. His research was excellent as was his ability to remind us that detailed and flawless planning will always be trumped by execution." Dave Maurer, Lieutenant Colonel, US Army (Ret.) Vice President PMI, Washington DC Mark Kozak-Holland is a fabulous speaker who was introduced to ACP LA, OC, and SD. He is awesome, down to earth, approachable, and very informative. His presentation is so appropriate for ACP meetings because he takes the historical experience, dissects it according to its business practices, and shows where the process worked or failed based on business principles and relates it to the practices of today! He also provides a very interesting insight to the importance of preparedness and contingency planning—at least with the Titanic topic. His presentation is such an innovative approach to history. We chose the business presentation on the Titanic and scheduled him for a two hour program. It took the full two hours and it was fabulous. I highly recommend including him on our speakers bureau list and promoting him to the other chapters, especially those that conduct the symposiums. Monique Weiland, President - ACP Orange County
“I was so delighted with your
“Titanic” presentation at the Madison PMI dinner meeting in May that I was
eager to invite you to speak for the Rock Valley Chapter of APICS this fall.
Our event was a great success. We received wonderful feedback from our
attendees. Thank you again, for your marvelous and very professional
presentation.” Ellen J. Granneman, CPIM, PMP Director of Planning &
Inventory Mgt. World’s Finest Chocolate Fascinating history lesson & links to today’s supposedly “new” techniques. Excellent examples of Agile Planning from history that can be related to modern day. It seems that a significant number of people enjoyed your sessions...I have read both books and really enjoyed them. Jon Cook, PMI Manitoba Conference Your presentation was excellent. Even though you title it as being related to IT Projects, the content is applicable to all projects. Your book on CD is very reasonable and I have several of my PMP's already lobbying with me to get their hands on the ones I bought. From our Members, we received many excellent comments on your presentation. PMI Western Michigan Chapter has had many excellent speakers. I personally thought yours was the best one that we have had in several years. I recommend your presentation for any PMI chapter. Please feel to contact my VP Programs for a 2008 return visit. Len Todd President@wmpmi.org Terrific speaker; very engaging. APICS “It was a very informative and eye-opening presentation." Ann O'Connell, VP Programs, PMI Mass Bay Mark: Your presentation was great! Not only was it interesting to learn more about the Titanic, but the correlations were so appropriate. Thank you for coming. Kathy Z. Karpiel, Worldwide IT Auditing, The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company. Mark, I had the pleasure of attending your presentation last evening when you discussed Titanic Lessons for IT Projects. Thank you for a wonderful presentation! Anne E. Geary The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company Six Sigma, Black Belt Candidate
Mark, again, great presentation
last night.
Mark, Let me ditto Fred's
remarks!! It must have taken a lot of work to research all the Titantic
"truths". I found the information fascinating and especially appreciated
your comparison to current day projects. Well done…I look forward to reading
the book. Mark, Thanks again for being our guest speaker. Thoroughly enjoyable and insightfully delivered, the facts which you presented surrounding this dramatic moment in history created a marvelous example of applied management know-how. In spite of knowing the outcome, I found myself growing a bit tense as you verbally advanced the calendar towards the historical date for Germany’s invasion of Great Britain. The take-aways from your presentation fsserve as both a teaching and reinforcement of very powerful winning management techniques. Salute!
Warm regards, Jerry PMI – Rochester, NY Chapter
Mark, thanks so much for the excellent
presentation "On-line, On-time, On-budget – IT Projects from Hell
– Lessons from Titanic." It
was a fun evening, and our members really enjoyed the talk. We look forward
to seeing you again in the future. Sincerely, Mark Tolbert, VP of Programs, PMI "This was as very well done education session. Thank
you."
"This was a fascinating and very relevant presentation to
my projects. Communicating to the executives is so critical and Mark
did an excellent job highlighting what and how to do that. It was very
well organized and one of the best presentations I've seen." Michelle
Polito Strategy & Knowledge Mgmt
"The feedback that I have heard from folks all indicates that your
presentation was so well received. Your presentation was delivered in a
manner that kept everybody interested yet had information that we can't
ignore within our projects." Joan Wood PDM
