People First Project Management LLC

Merv Jersak has over 40 years' experience as a systems consultant, IT Project Manager, and professional speaker. He founded his speaking and consulting business, People First Project Management LLC™, to address one of the biggest problems most IT organizations have: NOT FOCUSING on the human factors (the people side) of Project Management. This problem is costing organizations extreme losses in productivity and profits! Merv is committed to helping organizations develop the powerful human factors within their project teams that lead to project success. He supports IT consulting firms and companies’ internal IT departments to increase their probability of successful project delivery by focusing on the people side of project management. It doesn’t matter the size of an organization; projects can only be delivered through their people: > people in the role of Project Managers > people in project delivery roles > people in the technical aspects of Project Management > people in end-user organizations IT staff are expected to be experts in the human factors of project delivery — but most of the time THEY ARE NOT! And projects suffer as a result of this! Merv doesn’t just believe in offering advice — he walks his talk by delivering decades of experience! He is trained and experienced in the technical aspects of project delivery; while at the same time, he relates deeply to the critical people side of project delivery. He has made it his mission to develop the skills to support the people side of project management, and has seen dramatic improvements in team development, productivity, and profits.
