ABOUT US
Before getting to “web” things, why the airplane on our Home Page? The answer comes by way of another question: why does everyone look to the sky whenever they hear an airplane overhead? Because it takes us from worldly goings-on to a moment of wonder, a sense of what is possible, and affirmation of the great accomplishments humankind is capable of. These may not be conscious thoughts in the moment, but when we snap back to the mundane, we do so with a smile.
Mark Hall, The Founder of William George Associates (WGA) began his career with Eastern Airlines, and brought the lessons from aviation and aerospace to the Project Management arena so clients can visualize the possibilities before them and reach for the sky.
For 20 years, WGA has been training and certifying over 6,000 professionals to be great leaders of teams. During that time, WGA also has consulted with companies large and small wanting to plan and execute projects more successfully.
WGA is a strong proponent of the Project Management Office (PMO) organizational structure and has implemented many PMO’s and re-energized stale ones with fresh thinking and deeper engagement of the teams.
WGA is also a certifying body in the complementary disciplines of Agile/Scrum and Lean Six Sigma.
As thought leaders in Project Management, WGA has established the engaged enterprise™ by bringing the interrelated competencies of Portfolio & Project Management, Agile/Scrum, and Lean Six Sigma, together in an ecosystem of awareness of purpose, energy, and success.
