Keynote Speaker - Mr. Jesus Martinez Almela

Worldwide Trends in Project Management

Mr. Jesus Martinez Almela

President Dtr,
IPMA International Project Management Association

 

Abstract:

Project management experienced a significant change in the last twenty years. From a tools and methods oriented approach it developed into a holistic perspective competence-based management discipline aiming at delivering long-term sustainable value for a variety of stakeholders in their professional and private roles, for private and public organizations, and for society as a whole.

Is this change ending - or will project management further develop and transform in the next decade? There are several singular hypotheses concerning future aspects of project management, however, a summary of the different trends and a compelling conclusion is still missing. 

Contextual changes in the economic, social, political, ecological and technological areas pose a variety of challenges for the field of project management, which will change its diffusion and application, but which also transform how project management will be performed in the future, which meaning it will have, and which impacts.

This presentation will expose the current situation and trends of our discipline Worldwide.
