What the remainder of 2009 will bring for Boundless Flight, Inc.

A well-known local executive related the following to me last week as we were talking about an upcoming engagement opportunity: "... please don't bring in a bunch of PMP's and expect that to be a magic bullet. I gave up on that a long time ago."

Boundless Flight, Inc. has been focused on developing a uniquely qualified team to provide the best project management support services centered around MS Project Server 2007 and MS Project Portfolio Server 2007. We have dedicated ourselves to these tools largely because we KNOW them well and they are available in a highly cost-effective SaaS model. Our sales in this area have been steadily growing for two years.

At the same time we dedicated ourselves to the Microsoft tools, we also dedicated ourselves to the Project Management Professional certification from the Project Management Institute. We believe it can truly provide a measureable differentiator in the project management profession. But the executive's statement above is correct; a project manager's PMP does not guarantee excellent management skills.

That is why we have added a third leg to our PMO Support Services stool - PRADCO. PRADCO, located right here in Chagrin Falls, OH, provides a mature set of managerial behavior profiling tools and a team dedicated to the project management profession. The ability to profile behavior tendencies takes much of the guesswork out of the hiring, reduction, and restructuring processess so many corporations are finding themselves in these days. It is so much easier to, for example, move Stan onto the already-behind CRM software implementation team KNOWING he handles pressure well rather than relying on someone's sense or intuition regarding Stan's abilities.

Boundless Flight, Inc. now offers

  • A complete suite of project management TOOLS centralized around Microsoft's core

  • The ability to design, develop, train, and implement project management PROCESSES, guides, tools, KPI's, information distribution flows

  • The ability to objectively assess the expected BEHAVIORS of project managers and coach them into increased project quality due to their improved management skills.

Stay tuned - we have the solution for our executive friend.
