New Delhi (ANTARA News/PRNewswire-AsiaNet) - Kris Gopalakrishnan (CEO and MD, Infosys), Raj Kalady (MD, India, PMI) and many other thought leaders share their perspective and highlight trends in Project Management at the Project Management Leadership (PML) Conference 2008 by QAI.
On the occasion of their 4th International Project Management Leadership (PML) Conference, 2008, (http://www.qaiasia.com/Conferences/PML08/index.htm), QAI (www.qaiasia.com) brings the industry's thought leaders to share their perspective on the future of Project Management. The conference will be held at Bangalore on the 30th and 31st of May.
According to data shared by Raj Kalady (Managing Director, Project Management Institute, India),a recent government report (Quarterly Report by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, Government of India) shows that, of a total of 866 government projects currently on the anvil, 297 are running behind schedule and more than Rs 24,000 crore (US$ 6 billion) will be spent additionally because of the delay - in some cases of over 16 years.
Additionally, The Economic Survey this year shows that over 260 infrastructure-related projects are behind schedule. All this shows that there is a critical need of Project Management at various levels in all industries.
Kris Gopalakrishnan, CEO and MD, Infosys Technologies, commenting on the domain says, " Project Management as a profession must step up to the new challenges created by globalization, increased use of technology, explosion of information, competition and therefore faster time-to-market.
Project Management is required not just in IT but in all sectors where growth is rapid and predictability, repeatability and adaptability are key to remain relevant.
Ability to scale Project Management capability both in terms of quality and quantity as well as the ability to operate in a flattening world will determine who stays ahead in the race."
On a similar note, Raj Malady, says "Mature project management practices close the gap between strategy and results. As India globalizes and is on an ambitious growth trajectory, with rapid developments taking place in both the private and public sector, India needs project management professionals who know how to compress schedules to meet the urgent needs of a developing economy. A key to this is utilizing standardized professional project management practices to build capacity and capabilities to achieve breakthrough results."
Commenting on the same, Navyug Mohnot (CEO, QAI) says "Projects have been managed even long before distinctive management processes were identified. Now, with the advancement in the Body of Knowledge, even complex projects are being managed across multiple geographical locations and distributed environments.
The progress seen by this profession has led to the emergence of Project Management as a critical element in this era of globalization."
