Chapter News

On 17 March we had four amazing presentations by researchers in the field of Project Management. The focus was on how human dynamics of change, risk, and empathy impact our projects. The focus of 3 of 4 of outcomes was based on work with Dutch construction companies, the findings are applicable to all projects and project managers.

The Zoekies are an award program, but they are more.  Members had a chance to hear from the young talent coming into Project Management today.  If you applied each of the takeaways from these findings - you may find the same kind of results that the sponsor companies did.  What were the key lessons learned from the Sponsor Companies?

An improved understanding of the underlying dynamics at play in projects can bring insights that deliver real impact to the long-term organization and project outcomes.
