(BUSINESS WIRE)-- PMI’s 2013 Pulse of the Profession™ In-Depth Report: Talent Management found that although consistent, continuous training and development for project managers significantly reduces financial risk, half of organisations have scaled back their training programs due to economic conditions. This deficit leaves organisations and practitioners alike unprepared to fill the 15.7 million new project management roles expected to be created between now and 2020—nearly two million of which will be in the EMEA region.
At the upcoming PMI® Global Congress 2013—EMEA in Istanbul, project and program managers will learn what it takes to fill these roles as leaders of the profession’s next generation: agile, innovative individuals who can skillfully navigate change, manage risk and build and nurture teams that drive organizational success in international and emerging markets.
Keynote speakers and events at PMI® Global Congress 2013—EMEA include:
An opening presentation from Project Management Institute President and CEO Mark A. Langley, “Are You Ready to Be a Project Executive?”
“Leadership in Times of Global Turmoil” presented by featured keynote speaker Nader Mousavizadeh, CEO of Oxford Analytica and columnist for Reuters.
“The Crossroads of Culture” presented by Avinash Chandarana, Group Learning and Development Director, MCI Group.
“Networking Across the Globe”, sponsored booths in the Exhibit Hall.
“Project Management in Emerging Economies” panel discussion, highlighting the opportunities and challenges faced by project management practitioners working in new and developing markets.
Celebration of Children’s Day, with events and performances in observation of Turkey’s annual Holiday of National Sovereignty and Children.
