How to find Project Managers for big projects? Panel discussion planned for IPMA World Congress in Rome
The project management team for the 22nd IPMA World Congress on Project Management – ROMA 2008 Project Management to Run – has announced several major panel discussions for the November World Congress. The IPMA 22nd World Congress on Project Management will be held in Rome, Italy during 9-11 November 2008. For information, visit www.ipmaroma2008.it.
According to the latest congress announcement, a Panel discussion on finding project managers for big projects and programmes in the oil & gas, petrochemicals and engineering/construction sectors will be held in Rome.
The number and the size of big projects in the oil and gas industry are increasing and the engineering companies have difficulty in assigning the right project manager to these jobs. Why? Because there are too many projects ongoing at the same time and few project managers have the experience to manage the problems and the risks of a multimillion dollar project.
How do the Engineering Companies and the Project Owners intend to overcome this difficult situation? The topic will be discussed in a round table by top Managers of Engineering Companies and Oil and Gas Corporations together with project management and human resources experts.
The Panel moderator will be Dr. Martin Barnes, APM President and past Executive Director of the Major Projects Association in the UK. Panel members will be: Veikko Välilä, IPMA President; Umberto della Sala, CEO of Foster Wheeler, and several other top managers of oil and engineering companies. For large EPC companies or those looking for experienced project managers, this will be an opportunity to discuss your needs with others in the industry and in the project management profession with experience in this area.
The 22nd IPMA World Congress and Exhibition will be held at the Palazzo dei Congressi near the heart of downtown Rome, during 9-11 November 2008. The “ROMA 2008 – Project Management to Run” World Congress will include keynote speeches, 12 streams of presentations over three days with discussions and presentations on various programme and project management topics, and an international exhibition of products and services. Over 1,000 participants from the 45+ countries represented by IPMA membership are expected to attend, making it one of the largest project management events in the world this year.
