October Alpharetta Lunch Meeting - “What’s Missing?”

By: Shannon Kraiger

For over thirty-nine years Doug Jones of Doug Jones & Associates has been assisting client change initiatives aiding organizations to diagnose business problems and assisting in prescribing and implementing real solutions. A tall, distinguished looking man with a spattering of gray hair, silver framed glasses and a smile that tells audiences he’s happy to help and that’s he’s passionate about what he does. 

Jones exhilarated that passion to the PMI Atlanta Members at the October 7th Alpharetta Luncheon held at The Metropolitan Club.  As members sauntered their way into the event Jones made a point to ask, “I could be more effective in my job if (fill in the blank)…”  He then used the responses from participants in his presentation to relay what is often missing in organizations. Answers included change management, communication, decent management, one project manager to report to and more effective communication with one’s superior.
