Today’s project managers are expected to overcome challenges and obstacles that, just a few years ago, could not even be imagined. These challenges require a unique type of person who understands what value is and also understands the values that drive one’s own direction.

Values are developed over time and are associated with things of importance and usefulness. They are also associated with enduring beliefs and ideals.

The successful project manager understands value from a business perspective and a personal perspective and, using leadership skills, an understanding of the complexities of working with people, and a desire to accomplish objectives, creates a plan for success.

This presentation addresses how core values are formed at the individual level and at the organizational level. It will also address how these values drive personal performance and influence the effectiveness of the professional project manager.

Attend the virtual conference organized by IIL and its partners for International Project Management Day.

Growth in leading Asian and Latin American economies will continue to outpace that in the G8 countries, reinforcing the shift in corporate focus to those new markets. Join Mr. Langley (LinkedIn profile) as he looks ahead at three trends that have important implications for project, program and portfolio management.

Looking Ahead to the Three Trends:

• Innovation in products and business processes tailored for those fast-growing markets (and increasingly developed there) is putting a premium on organizational dexterity, and on project management practices that support it.
• Despite faltering employment figures in the US and Europe, skills such as project and program management remain in short supply – so improvements in talent management and expansion of the project management talent “pipeline” development are more pressing than ever.
• Portfolio management and understanding the role of a PMO in aligning projects with strategy are spreading from the largest, most “projectized” organizations to mid-sized corporations and government agencies.
