Remarkable Success
Project Management is crucial for the realisation of visions and strategic plans. It facilitates achieving the organisational objectives of any organisation or company. Realising this achievement requires an OPM system, project portfolios and programmes, qualified PM personnel such as Programmes Manager, Project Manager and PMO Director. Such personnel must have the skills and leadership to make an effective contribution to building of an integrated PM environment that has to be agile and adaptable to local and international changes.
The past five editions of the forum had been hugely successful in terms of PM specialists and international speakers attracted, and topics discussed. The last edition saw the organisation of 42 sessions comprising 6 keynote speeches, 7 master classes, 3 discussion panels, 24 parallel sessions and 2 closed sessions. About 2000 intellects of PM in the region and the world over took part in the event.
