The CRV Project Manager's Course
The CRV Project Manager's course covers those tasks and duties
a person needs in order to sucessfully manage the remote
viewers, monitors, analysts, and report writers.
Since the Project Manager is quite often required to interface
with the customer, customer-relation tools are also covered.
Prerequisite:
None, but viewer training is recommended
Course cost:
$1,000 (U.S./Canada)
Locations:
Alamogordo, NM
Topics Covered
Management's Responsibilities:
Management of a CRV effort is different from normal management
in a myriad of ways. Conduct and handling of these specialized
personnel and the information they produce can be a minefield
from which the unwary and untrained manager may never return.
Differences, pitfalls, preventive measures, special techniques
and moral, legal, social and corporate responsibilities are
covered in great detail.
How to Manage for Best Return and Maximum Efficiency:
The manager student learns the proper methods for maximizing
the product of the CRV effort.
How to Deal With Taskers:
Special problems arise when taskers are not aware of
the information's source, or have erroneous understandings
of the CRV process and what it can/cannot do. Problems and
techniques for handling taskers and the tasking they provide
is covered in detail. The "garbage in - garbage out"
principle is most important.
How to Interface the CRV Effort with the Public / Press
/ Chain of Command:
Many problems can be prevented through a properly conducted
effort of aggressive intervention. Potential problems, their
causes and cures are covered.
How to Select CRV Personnel:
This is perhaps the most important and the most surprising
portion of the Manager's course.
How to Maintain CRV Personnel Proficiency:
This is normally another surprising aspect of the Manager's
course, since normal procedures used for other types of employee
proficiency are usually inadequate for the maintenance of
CRV proficiency. Methods, principles involved, and maintenance
programs are covered.
Job Performance Evaluation:
Job performance evaluations for viewers and monitors
is one of the Project Manager's largest headaches. It is sometimes
impossible to evaluate a Controlled Remote Viewer's results
until years after a session takes place. Evaluation cannot
be made on the basis of results. Yet, managers who base their
evaluations on strictly personal and subjective factors almost
inevitably wind up destroying the CRV effort. Special problems
and techniques are covered in detail.
