Topic: Winning the customer over with effective Project Management "An MMS Case Study"

Abstract: Once you've made the sale, you need to deliver. You initiate a project and the outcome is a dismal failure. You end up with one very dissatisfied customer. What happens though, if the customer gives you a second chance? You cannot afford to fail a second time. How do you guarantee success on a complex program of work having experienced failure before? Find out how Ericsson used the lessons learned technique combined with effective project management processes to engage the customer and successfully deliver a hugely complex Multimedia Messaging System. More importantly, find out what critical factors contributed to a happy customer and how Ericsson turned around customer perception using effective project management techniques.

Speakers:

Joseph Dawson MBCS MNZCS PMP DipBus (IS) - Senior Project Manager with Ericsson Communications Limited and Programme Manager on the MMS Program of Work. Joseph has over 20 years experience in the IT industry and has managed projects across a cross section of industry.

Ralph Hoflich BASc, EE - Solutions Architect for Ericsson and integration manager behind the successful delivery of the Ericsson MMS solution. Ralph has over 8 years experience in the communications and IT industry.
