"The Role of the Project Manager and Professionalism"
Registration Closed
The critical question to be addressed is:
-
What are the key responsibilities of the manager of a project that provide the
greatest benefit to the public good, clients, employers, team members, and
other stakeholders, and
-
What part does professionalism play in performing the role?
Open Space Technology will be used for this seminar. The un-conference format
allows the
participants to create their own conference by generating the topics and
content that are important
to them. The outcome is entirely up to the participants, but it may include
plans for further action
to pursue the issues that they care about.
