Hi,

Myself and a colleague were approached to present multiple half day sessions to create awareness, share basic concepts and experiences about Project Management to corporate workers in a company trying to become more project oriented.

Have you ever done something similar? What do you think we should focus on? Share your experiences!

Dear Joao,

This shift is something that I have seen in my own home country and other countries within Europe. In a trading block when one large markets tries to change approaches the rest of them try to normally follow.

Dear Joao,

There seems to be two tracks of speed or pace of change that is happening around the world. On the one hand you have traditional, monopoly companies that are slow to change and are in markets were true or full deregulation has yet to happen. By true deregulation I mean where the government has holdings in the incumbent, grants licenses and have the final say in who enters the market. On the other hand you have markets where maybe no regulation exists and have rapid and sometimes uncontrolled growth. Such examples would be predominately in Africa and previously South East Asian countries.

Hi Daire,

I act mainly in the IT/telecom areas.
Having worked and lived in several countries in Africa and Southeast Asia, I've seen mostly a fully regulated telecom markets (there are good exceptions to this) which sometimes hampers innovation, because some of the existing operators still are cash cows.

In most of these countries, change is starting... Slowly but happening :)

PM expertise is fulcral in making this change real and effective!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Regards,

I hate asking for change. They always make a face. It's like asking them to donate a kidney.
