2020 Project

 

Vision 2020 is a global action programme that aims to eliminate avoidable blindness by 2020. It is an ambitious project & undertaking bringing together countries that support its agenda. Next year is 2020. And there is still much to do. 

In 2018 reports emerged that spending too much time looking at blue light emitting screens can cause macular degeneration and other eye diseases. In 2019 there were media reports on handphone users going blind. But likely temporarily, due to prolonged use & squinting at their phones. Eye stroke as is known, may be a new cause for concern.

In everything that we do and strives to improve there will be new developments and trends - that which can throw spanners into the work. Yet, we have to continue and persevere with what we have started. In the same, or in a different form.

Just like Vision 2020, we as project management professionals too have similar roles.

• To share our collective experience, skills, and innovation in project management. 
• To build up a generation of driven professionals to succeed us some day.

Yaa! I sounds corny. But we can only expand on what we have acquired & gained - here & now. (In this space -limited to mostly PM related stuff).

Next year I look forward to give back from my profession as a certified PMP. I would need your help to get connected to charities and not-for-profit establishments. I am keen to volunteer my time for a week or two in IndoChina or Myanmar. Or perhaps elsewhere. Travel and meet new friends. And I'd be happy for any assistance to get introduced. 

Wish you all the success in your projects & a Happy New Year!!
