From social development to infrastructure, international development projects face their unique challenges.

Problems that cause many project failures attribute to institutional rather than technical issues.

In order to transform the challenges to opportunities, International Development projects should be managed using proven tools and techniques, the same way as standard projects.

The business environment has been evolving over the last several decades because of many factors including a volatile economy, growth in technology, increased competition and demanding customers and shareholders.

Companies are also taking larger bets with technology as a means of competitive advantage. The result has been a rise in large and complex programs for many companies. These programs usually span many years, cost millions or even tens or hundreds of millions of dollars to run, involve many people from across the organization and usually also include vendors and partners from other companies.

While programs are getting larger and more complex, at the same time the success rate of programs remains low.

In order to manage programs in this environment, it is imperative to take a “consultative approach” to running them. A consultative approach involves managing these programs with a core set of guiding principles and utilizing them across every function of the program.

Kerry Wills will define what it means to take a consultative approach by identifying the eight key guiding principles and then propose several strategies to enable Program Managers to be successful in the new landscape by applying them to their programs.

Presenter: Kerry Wills PMP (LinkedIn profile) climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro in 2000. He spent months designing his approach, preparing the equipment, training for endurance and executing the plan. His impressive Keynote address Summitting Mt. Kilimanjaro: A Project Management Case Study (1 Cat A – more info) has presented to many PMI® Chapters and is available as a recorded session from ITMPI.
