Robbins-Gioia to Present Symposium Offering Best Practices, Showcasing Results
July 20, 2005, Alexandria, VA—In celebration of its 25 years of pioneering the program
management (PM) industry and its leadership of PM innovations and excellence, Robbins-Gioia LLC is
pleased to present “Results Symposium: Best Practices in Program Management.” The symposium will
take place on September 8–9 at the Ritz-Carlton, Washington, D.C. This senior-level networking
event will feature real-world executive insights from organizations such as the Department of
Veterans Affairs, the Timken Company, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Colonial Bank, the
Transportation Security Administration, and many others.
The symposium was designed based on extensive Robbins-Gioia research into customer and market
needs. Data from a recent Robbins-Gioia survey showed that organizations are focused on profitability,
aligning projects with strategy, enhancing quality of products and services, and customer service.
Survey data also showed that 63 percent of respondents who indicated that their organizations’
projects always come in on time and budget have a project management office (PMO) in place and a
process for aligning projects with strategy. This data supports the conclusion that organizations
with sound project and program processes in place successfully deliver results.
“Our goal is to create a forum to share best practices through discussion, idea exchange, and
networking,” said Jim Leto, Robbins-Gioia president and CEO. “Bringing together government and industry
leaders to learn from one another and celebrate their successes is, for us, a meaningful, wonderful way
to mark our 25 years of excellence and innovation in the PM industry.”
