Message from Scott






Our first annual Project Management Issue was well received. Everyone wants their projects to be on time, on budget, and innovative. This year our expanded project management team shares more tips and insights, a new video on StarFish project management enhancements during the past year, and employee thoughts on how Project Management Officers like Andrew Morton can help even the best project managers.  

Speaking of enhancements, our 2017 Playbook events in Toronto and Vancouver open for registration today. Getting your Medical Device Right is a subject our invited speakers know very well.  I hope our Ontario, BC, and Washington readers can join us for an  inspiring and informative day.

We frequently write for industry media. I'm proud to highlight four guest blogs published in January. Links are shared below for your enjoyment.

As always, thanks for reading. 


Sincerely,

Scott Phillips 
CEO
