Dennis Carignan, PMP, a consultant with PCI Global, presented the preliminary findings from a two year on-going anecdotal investigative study on the business climate supporting project management practices today.

Take a look at the graph below. It’s known as the “exponential curve” and is usually used to illustrate uncontrolled population growth, the effect of compound interest on life long savings, or to hype skyrocketing prices of things like gasoline or Medicare costs.

What if I told you we can use this graph to illustrate, without an ounce of exaggeration, the membership growth of a specific Assn over the past decade?

Each month we will share with you a brief list of the programs scheduled at our sister organizations.
