Education is a cornerstone of parenting responsibility, while the cause of much concern, seems to be an unchallenged area. Our speaker will look at the cost benefit of a K-12 education in Bangkok – private school, international school, tuitions versus university costs. Lean techniques and Agile frameworks have been around for decades but are currently the rage in project management, and he plans to give Agile an education spin. Finally our speaker will introduce the PMI Educational Foundation; what it is, where is the money going, and discuss opportunities within PMIEF. The presenter has a storied career in project management and education; this presentation has something for everyone – the parent, the teacher, the PM and PMI members.
Bradley C. Banker has a varied career from academia as both a master degreed chemist and 7 years in college administration to recent stints teaching chemistry and physics in his spare time. Bradley was the PM for a hazardous material operation that covered Iraq with 7 ‘seek and find’ mission teams bringing unknowns from the 50’s (British), 70’s (Soviet) and recent materials from Coalition activities; conducting treatment activities with a local and third-country national workforce. In a PMO role, he oversaw Asian SHE operations for AECOM with some landmark projects, such as IKEA China & Thailand, Central-Wan Chai Bypass tunnel in Hong Kong, KVMRT metro-rail in Malaysia, and a STEAG geothermal plant on a volcano in Indonesia. He is currently working the close-out of the King Abdullah Port located 147 km north of Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Bradley is expected to return to semi-retirement by the end of 2017. Hobbies include bicycle riding, travel, reading and economic analysis while teaching whenever possible.
