With the ever growing demands on organizations, getting results from project teams is becoming more and more imperative. Being able to successfully exercise influence across project teams and the organization is an increasingly important skill for the successful project manager.

On Thursday night, Rob will share with us a common sense approach for understanding how to improve your influencing skills in a variety of situations.
