Presented by: Peteer Taylor “The Lazy Project Manager”

Background:

Organizations demand that the projects that they commission these days are successful in order to meet their increasingly aggressive strategic goals, and for this to be possible the project managers that lead these strategic projects need to be the very best that they can be. But these very projects are also becomingly more challenging.

Method:

So what are the issues that the ’21st Century’ project manager faces that can be very different from projects in the past, or at least more difficult?

A look at five of these will be taken to provoke thought and begin discussions on what we all need to do now.

Here in the 21st Century:

• Profile of projects
• Complexity of projects
• Virtuality of projects
• Sponsoring of projects
• Benefits from projects

Results:

The presentation aims to stimulate thought from the audience about where we should all be focusing our efforts in order to deal with the ’21st Century’ challenges that project managers face.

Conclusions:

Join me in saying ‘goodbye’ to the ‘Accidental Project Manager’ and ‘hallo’ to the ’21st Century Project Manager’.
