SV: Is Elk Hunting a Project?

The idea for this presentation came while Greg was planning for this year’s Archery elk hunt in the mountains outside Flagstaff. “Nearly everything we do is a project – birthday parties, weddings, vacations, and yes, hunting, hence the idea for this presentation”.

Greg became interested in big game hunting in 1999 when his uncle took him on his first elk hunt in Eastern Oregon. Though unsuccessful in this first endeavor, the passion was ignited to continue the pursuit.

Greg will share his insight on how the project of planning for the hunt uses the same process as planning for the big corporate conference.
A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service, or result. Hopefully, you will enjoy this analogy, even if you are not a hunter.
