Online Webinar – International Project Management Day 2011
This Session Presented by: Mark Langley – President and CEO, PMI®
This session Duration 30 Min Credits: 0.5 PDU Category A
IPM Day 2011 Sponsored by: IIL and Partners (Rep# 1003)

The On-Demand Viewing Period Has Begun!
The free viewing period extends through:
5:00 p.m. ET on Friday, February 3, 2012.

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.

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