World-Class Project Management

"World-Class Project Management in the 21st Century"

A fun and motivational speech outlining how modern realities enhance traditional challenges - but also shape effective ways to manage them.

Target Audience:

General Business Audiences, IT and Project Team Members, and their Managers

Dare to lose control

Everything goes fine - and suddenly it spins out of control. Exponentially growing data processing and communication capabilities challenge your ability to stay on top of things. What can you do?

Social systems show an amazing similarity to the "hard sciences." This also demands a new thinking about project management.

...and start to manage

Berthold Kastel explains how a look at the big picture beats sweating the small stuff. He also points out why:

1 % of the data and activities drive 50% of the project outcome and risk

Projects cannot be controlled, and

Smart technology requires smart management.

Important Definitions

"Program"

A group of projects that produce multiple deliverables, are linked to specific business benefits, instead of products, and are tied to the business strategy.

What does that mean for 21st century projects?

New Ideas

Demographic Challenges

At the beginning of 2009 many people see “unemployment” as an overwhelming problem. However, a lack of resources and human capital is more likely to be the bigger challenge of the 21^st century. The number of experienced project management professionals falls far short of requirements.
