Project managers can change the world
GpmFirst is raring to go after the brief lull of the summer vacation, and our Guest Editor this month is setting the bar high by encouraging all project managers to get out there and change the world!
Reinhard Wagner – our Guest Editor, and President of the International Project Management Association (IPMA) – talks ‘projectification‘ and the need to change the way we think about projects. Scroll down for details.
We’re delighted to welcome Reinhard, who is currently preparing for the 29th World Congress of the IPMA (in Panama on 28-30 September), and equally pleased to announce that our Guest Editorial will be free to view, each month. So, you can share the article more widely and encourage your colleagues to join in the debate.
If you haven’t dropped by for a few weeks over the summer vacation, do log in to see our new content – books, articles and videos – join or start a debate, or simply contact us with your thoughts on the site. We look forward to hearing from you.
