Sharing the parallels between the roles of All-Hazards Planning Section Chiefs and Project Managers

Sharing the parallels between the roles of All-Hazards Planning Section Chiefs and Project Managers

Both the Project Management Professional (PMP) and the Planning Section Chief (PSC) are keepers of the process, relationship builders, and resource coordinators. While both have their unique processes, paperwork and variable work environments, the soft skills necessary to establish, foster, and maintain relationships are directly transferrable across these two positions.

In this episode I discuss how I cross mapped my experience as a PSC to become a PMP and how the "Foundational Four" of creating S.M.A.R.T. objectives, a multi-disciplinary team organization, collaborative resource coordination and connective communication must be used by all responders, event planners and project managers to improve safety and create more efficient teams.

Thank you for listening and Godspeed,

In this wrap up show for 2018 I share what I believe are the top tips from each episode and my "Between the Slides 5" I've learned as a new podcaster from my perspective as a former Planning Section Chief and current Project Management Professional. Merry Christmas (or whatever you celebrate) and all the best in 2019.

* Ep1 - PSC: PSC: Knowledge is gained to be shared | PMP: Be transparent with your project teammates

* Ep2 - IS 700: PSC: Emergency operations centers (EOCs) come in many flavors | PMP: Project processes and structures should also be dynamic

* Ep3 - ICS 100: PSC: We are all here to support Operations (boots on the ground) | PMP: As a Project Manager your focus should be to empower and enable those doing the project work

* Ep 4 - ICS 200: PSC: Don't assume a book dictates your incident management skill level | PMP: A credential does not make you an effective Project Manager, your ability to bring together successful teams does

* Ep 5 - ICS 300: PSC: Focus on your organizational structure, then on the ICS 215 | PMP: Figure out "Who's who" before you move to the task level requirements

* Ep 6 - O305: PSC: Complete this course like you're savings lives, soon you will be | PMP: Directly or indirectly your projects may deeply affect other's lives

* Ep 7 - LEO Resistance to ICS: PSC: Dont's let a bad AAR be your catalyst for change | PMP: Don't accept the phrase, "We've always done it this way"

* Ep 8 - Active Threat Training and Response: PSC: Train together so you respond better together | PMP: Create one project org chart with both internal and external partners

* Ep 10 - Leadership Lessons from Gettysburg: PSC: Always consider, "...and then what?" | PMP: Build in realistic time for contingencies

* Ep 11 - Tips to pass the PMP Exam: PSC: You have to know the Planning "P" inside and out | PMP: You should know the knowledge groups and process chart inside and out

My "Between the Slides 5" as a new podcaster:

* Do you. Don't mimic another show.

* Start with a topic you know well and then expand from there.

* Statistics are cool, but should not drive your show's intent.

* Sound matters.

* Put the time in. The shows will be better.

 

Thank you to my family, friends and colleagues who helped me start a podcast, learn and grow from it, and who continue to get after it out there on the streets every day.

Godspeed,

Kevin
