“Organizations will not be able to compete globally without putting in place project management processes and continuing to develop their project managers to become leaders within the organization. Technical skills are no longer enough. Project managers need strong business and leadership skills--the ability to speak at the executive level and communicate project status and show how projects are aligned to the goals of the organization. Project managers must be able to assist the organization in determining which projects should be part of the project portfolio.”
“We will be a valuable resource for PMI by providing sound knowledge and insight into project management stemming from our numerous local and global projects, ... Further standardization of our project management will bring extra benefit to our US customers and our customers around the globe.”
John McKenna
“Except for those who have got skills that are in short supply, such as project management, business understanding and multimedia skills, we will see a permanent shrinking in demand. If it can be moved offshore it is moved offshore.”
