The theme for 2011 was: New world, new project management

New world, new project management  looks at how the profession will rise to the challenges of the new world - climate change, technological advances, globalisation, social networks, public health, security and economic regeneration and growth. The challenges require fundamentally new ways of making sense and shaping a world we neither control, nor fully understand.

Professor Darren Dalcher, Director of the National Centre for Project Management (pictured above right), chaired this years conference where the aim was to issue a ‘call to action’ and address the challenges of a new world by defining a new kind of project management.

Speakers included Professor Eddie Obeng, Learning Director at Pentacle; Michel Thiry, Managing Partner at Valense Ltd; Jeremy Beeton, Director General of the Government Olympic Executive; David Ackland, Head of PPM Profession at the Home Office; Tim Banfield, Director at the National Audit Office plus many more.

Ours is a world which demands what appears to be the impossible; New world, new project management aims to drive the debate as to how the profession can think and act in this demanding new world.
