Project Managers are often measured by scope, schedule, cost, and quality.

But the most effective project leaders go further. They understand how their work connects to the broader goals of the organization.

Join NEW AITP for our April meeting featuring Tom Jefferson, as he presents:

Aligning Your Project to Business Strategy

In this session, we will explore how project managers can move beyond execution and become strategic contributors by aligning their work with business priorities.

You will gain insight into how to:

• Connect project outcomes to organizational strategy
• Collaborate effectively with sponsors and stakeholders
• Translate business priorities into actionable project goals
• Create outcomes that deliver real value beyond project completion

This session is ideal for anyone looking to elevate their role from project manager to project leader.

Tom Jefferson has held leadership roles across program and project management, operations, support services, training, application development, and quality assurance. He has led Corporate IT Governance efforts translating business priorities into IT initiatives while ensuring strong financial stewardship.

Tom currently serves as an adjunct professor at Lakeland University, Fox Valley Technical College, and Rasmussen University, where he teaches project management, risk management, organizational leadership, and technical subjects.

• Project managers and program managers
• IT leaders and technology professionals
• Business analysts and operations leaders
• Professionals involved in strategy execution
• Students pursuing careers in project management or leadership

Come early for networking and food. We look forward to seeing you there.
