Please join PMI-OC for the February Dinner Meeting featuring Steven Mauss of Knowledge Relay. Steven currently is he President and Chief Operating Officer of Knowledge Relay. He has directly managed all facets of the business since 1992. He brings over 30 years of experience in operations and information technology to his role.
Before Knowledge Relay, Steven held a number of executive positions in the high tech industry, including vice president and general manager of American NETRONIC, Inc.
While working as a senior systems analyst for Rockwell International, Steven designed and oversaw the deployment of a comprehensive engineering business automation system to improve business intelligence gathering, analysis and visualization. He also helped Rockwell win multi-billion dollar defense contracts.
Steven holds a B.S. degree in Business Computer Methods from California State University at Long Beach.
The Chairman of Suzuki motors once said, "Workers come to factories to work, not to walk". He set about using available technologies and strategies to empower his people to become more productive and happier by reducing the amount of walking around they had to do.
Technology constantly changes the options we have for how we accomplish work. It is an ongoing process, and it has a large impact on the environment within which an organization functions. Technology introduces logistical, mechanical, AND social changes that need to be recognized, even embraced, if we are to effectively implement state-of-the-art program/project management strategies in diverse organizations.
In his presentation, Mr. Mauss discusses how to develop a planned, yet flexible, approach to managing change in an organization. By taking into consideration multiple dimensions of change, including human factors, logistics, and mechanical, the risk of failure associated with implementing positive change is greatly reduced.
