Project Management Goes to the Movies; Or Vice-Versa

OK, I think I just died and went to heaven. Here is an organization that is near and dear to my heart.

As a movie fanatic and home theater buff, not to mention somewhat involved in the project management field, I've always felt that the best lessons come from movies.

Let's face it, people remember stories more so than "instructions" because stories trigger emotions. And film has a unique and extremely effective way of reaching the senses (visual, aural, etc.) like no other format.

Movies Teach Project Management is an organization run by people with top project management and film critique credentials, not to mention educational and psychological background. They use clips from well-known films to teach project management, offering several inexpensive (~$300) one-day classes, where you can earn 8 PDUs in the process.

For anyone looking to really make a difference in their career, this looks like the most effective way I've seen yet. Long after you've forgotten all the dry memorization of other courses, this one's likely to stick with you forever.

Check out their website, examine their "What We Believe" and "Who We Are" sections, and I'm sure you'll agree...
