  Influencing the Executives\n \nAs experienced IT Professionals, many
  of us have mastered project management and program management, includ
 ing project/program management methodologies, processes, tools and tec
 hniques. We lead and manage our teams very effectively as we deliver s
 uccessful projects and programs.\nWe know that executive management su
 pport improves the probability of project success. In some cases, exec
 utive management commitment can \"make or break\" the project. However
 , many projects/programs compete for senior/executive management's att
 ention, involvement and support.  In this presentation, we will discu
 ss why executive management support is important for project success a
 nd explore ways to sell our project to senior management.\n \nIn this
  presentation, we will also discuss leadership at an enterprise level,
  influencing C-level executives in making portfolio strategy decisions
  and keeping them on the right track as projects/programs are utilized
  to implement the organization's strategy. This is more than a selling
  job.  It's a real test of your leadership skills.\n \nVictoria S. K
