Agnew Peckham Team Enriches its Project Management Skills
May 2010

Twenty members of the Agnew Peckham team recently refreshed our project management skills. Sandi Martyn of The Martyn Group led our two day process, providing an opportunity to apply key tools to current project priorities. We were joined by members of our planning partner firms, Kaizen and HCM Group Inc. Most useful takeaways from the process included alternative approaches to scheduling to reduce project lag time as well as communication and risk management strategies.

Agnew Peckham applies project management best practices to achieve project outcomes, on time and on budget on all of our projects and our team members work together to deliver our work efficiently and effectively. In addition, key team leaders from Agnew Peckham are available to work directly as a member of the client team to help facilitate the project responsibilities of the hospital.
