"Houston is the second-fastest growing major U.S.
economy. Between ’22 and ’24, the last two years of available metro GDP data, the value of the region’s
economic output expanded from roughly $685.6 billion to $758.3 billion after adjusting for inflation. That increase of $72.6 billion represents a two-year growth rate of 10.6 percent. Among the 20 most populous U.S. metros, Houston trailed only Seattle, which grew 10.7 percent, and outpaced other large regions such as Dallas, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, and Miami."

With growth comes opportunities! With an ever-growing economy and population having your business or organization stand out makes all the difference. Let us help you stand above the competition with efficiency and impact!

Throughout the years, the most important and impactful value we bring to our clients is NOT our technical skills. But, our value as project managers is the ability to see the intangibles in our projects and know how to handle creative teams.

No matter the project, you still have to know how to work with people to execute the project!

"I passed on my first attempt." That's the line everyone notices. But it isn't the most important part of this testimonial. The real story is this: "PMPOS helped me change my mindset." Most PMP candidates believe the exam is a test of memory. So they collect more books. Watch more videos. Highlight....

I was sitting in a classroom recently listening to a teacher talk about vision, unity and leadership. And it reminded me of something we do in business every day. We hand people puzzle pieces and expect them to build the picture. Without ever showing them the box. Think about that. Imagine I open a....

We love a good positioning statement!

With all the noise and distractions, remember clarity = confidence! And confidence = cash!

"We need to post more." "We should start a newsletter." "Can we do a campaign around this?" I have sat in board meetings, committee rooms, and one on ones with executive directors, and the moment marketing and communications comes up, the ideas start flying. The energy in those rooms is great. The i...

The need for care while delivering excellence is always a challenge in fast-paced environments, but when the team is no longer being valued, your goals will certainly suffer...

I have seen departments completely dissolve because leadership ignored the team's needs.

With all the challenges in our current society, please keep your people first and then your other "priorities."

Picture this: It’s a rainy Tuesday afternoon. Your star program manager, the one who knows every donor’s middle name and can juggle a dozen projects without dropping a single ball, walks into your office. But they aren't here to talk about the gala. They’re here with a resignation letter. Sudd...

Watching the world cup unfold in Houston has been such a joy. The region's economy is well positioned to boost your organization's international interests.

Three ways to reach an international audience:
🌍 Make your value proposition clear and borderless. People will always choose an effective solution.
🌍 Invite people to connect. Being welcoming shows interest in new opportunities and lowers the concerns about stereotypes.
🌍 Be consistent. Those trying something new want to connect with trusted brands and voices

Can't wait to see the final numbers on the economic impact of the games and how many local organizations were able to leverage the opportunities presented.
