It was the ESI course in London and I certainly enjoyed it and got something out of it. Getting work on troubled projects is not easy as when they happen the company involved will normally go via its existing contacts whether an accountency firm or IT supplier so as an individual it would not be easy unless you created a reputation with those sorts of companies but that would take a while to get into the ether.<BR/>Best of luck<BR/>PeterPeter Birleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12151038202878630485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4836626523730428629.post-19939442166301656932007-04-09T13:07:00.000Z2007-04-09T13:07:00.000Z2007-04-09T13:07:00.000ZHi Peter, thanks for the good course summary. None of project management is rocket science which makes it surprising then that so many projects fail and we are in need of assessment and recovery techniques.<BR/><BR/>I have completed a few turnaround projects in my career when I was a full time employee and really enjoyed the challenge. As an independent consultant, I don't come across many opportunities. Do you have any thoughts on where to locate turnaround project opportunities as an outsider? <BR/><BR/>Can you tell me the name of the training provider? I am thinking about taking a course from ESI Intl. called "Rapid Assessment and Recovery of Troubled Projects" and I was wondering if that was the course you took. <BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>Anthony MersinoAnthony C Mersinohttp://eq4pm.typepad.com/it_pm_guru/noreply@blogger.com
