Combined with many opportunities for professional development and networking, the PMI Global Congress experience offers attendees the opportunity to understand how to work within real-world confines to deliver successful projects.
Project, programme and portfolio managers across all industries in Europe, Middle East and Africa gather greater insights, make new contacts, and leave the event with ideas and empowerment for immediate implementation in their day-to-day roles.
The EMEA congress includes a wide range of sessions on topics such as:
- Project management trends
- The use of new media and social networking tools for managing projects
- Using methodologies like agile to complement general project management practices; and
- Skills project professionals need to manage risk in the new economy.
Don`t miss John Kao, PhD, the keynote speaker, who is an authority on the intersecting subjects of corporate innovation and transformation, design, and the future of business.
Best-selling author John Kao, PhD as the keynote speaker for PMI® Global Congress 2010 - EMEA
Dr. Kao has worked with a wide range of Fortune 500 companies, start-ups, and government agencies around practical issues of strategic innovation and organisational transformation.
Dr. Kao`s presentation will focus on the new geography of innovation capabilities, which are opening fresh business models and opportunities for established companies, entrepreneurs, and governments. He discusses these as global issues in his best-selling book Innovation Nation: How America Is Losing Its Innovation Edge, Why It Matters and How We Can Get It Back.
"The issue behind the many challenges we face - in such areas as education, health care, security, and access to opportunity - is our global capacity to innovate," says Dr. Kao. "The decisions we make about reinvigorating that capacity will shape our future for decades to come. Project managers are a key to helping organisations define their desired future states, designing innovation strategies, and supporting the efforts of innovation teams and senior leadership to execute that strategy."
"Dr. Kao`s message of innovation is both timely and necessary for today`s businesses and organisations," said Gregory Balestrero, president and chief executive officer of PMI. "Innovation should be a national priority, if not a global one. It is the cornerstone of economic growth and the need for project managers to drive new ideas, create new products and services and enable organisational results is especially crucial throughout the European continent."
The insights you gain from attending the congress come from listening to people like Dr. Kao, as well as your peers.
