Do Something, Learn Something, Share Something, Change Something = Meetup.com

I was just sent a link to this site Meetup.com. It’s a great way to connect with a group of your interest as well as a great way to tap into a niche market if you’re looking to connect with a specific audience.

Using the Web to bring people together offline.

Posted Services Page

The services that I can provide to an organization are now posted on the Services page of this site. I have distilled my, almost decade, of work experience into 3 main “Parent Services”. Things always seem to come in threes.

• Managing Projects
• Project Support
• Management Consulting

Shameless Plug: I’m always looking for interesting challenges to take on that will help better a company, non-profit, organization or community. Don’t hesitate to contact me if I can provide these Services for you or your team.

Posted Resume Page

My resume details are now posted to a new page, conveniently titled Resume, on this site. I figure since I spend the majority of my work day in front of a computer, most recently a MacBook Pro, I could keep a formal up-to-date archive of my career experience more easily. Experience being defined, in this case, as enough time to make mistakes and learn from them while celebrating the odd victory here and there.

Shameless Plug: I’m always looking for interesting challenges to take on that will help better a company, non-profit, organization or community. The always evolving online resume will help future clients learn more about my background and how I can help their team achieve their goals.

Purpose

Since my life’s odometer has just rolled past 30 years and I am obsessed with things like Schedule, Cost & Performance. I decided to start this website, title it Nelson v3.0 and dedicate it to everything Project Management. Look for future release versions as the years continue to roll on by.

I know, Project Management doesn’t sound like a very exciting topic at first. However, I’ve been working as a Project Manager for close to seven years now spanning from Engineering, to Mining & Metallurgy, to Information Technology. I believe that Project Management is one of those key elements that, if practiced and executed well, will improve efficiency, as well as effectiveness, within any organization.

The more I reflect on it, the more I realize that I tend to apply Project Management tools to just about every aspect of my life. I’ve led the development of a MMOG, provided a Metallurgical Site with an Equipment Strategy and even applied 5S to my own house in attempt to eliminate unnecessary weekend chores (to the the mild agitation of my wife).

This site will be full of the methods & tools that I run into along my journey in the Project Management field, as well as some of the projects that I’m involved with.
