Abstract	The global economy is creating new pressures for technology and engineering organizations to deliver results more quickly than ever before. Unfortunately, being a technical expert is not equivalent to being an expert manager. Engineers are often poorly trained and equipped to become managers. The requirements of good management can often be diametrically opposed to the often linear, tightly focused demands of engineering. The new engineer-turned-manager needs a model that allows him to develop the new skills he needs while staying effective as an engineer. The PAM/Paradigm method discussed here provides that model. Engineers can appreciate and quickly implement this model, as it breaks down key management skills into a discrete set of problem solving solutions. This means that new managers can grow their management skills "on the job" without lengthy training periods. The PAM/Paradigm method is not a new management fad. It has been refined over many years at leading technical organizations. The focus on moving projects quickly to completion using these clearly defined processes has proven invaluable to organizations of all sizes.
