What is Project Management really, and is it still relevant in the 21st Century?
Project Management is a relatively new profession which grew out of the recognition of what was required to successfully deliver the complex projects that emerged during the 20th Century. The profession has a globally recognised body of knowledge and certification standards to assess knowledge and experience of practitioners.
Disruptions to business are affecting the current and future enterprise. The panel will consider what these disruptions mean for the idea of projects and the project management professionals. Will project management survive as it is now or will it need to transform? What will that transformation look like? What skills will the future project manager require? How can project managers help South Australian businesses grow and adapt their businesses for the future?
