The project manager in the heart
of the organization
On October 22, 2009, the Public Research Center Henri Tudor will host
the 4th annual “Conference on Project Management” at the Chamber of
Commerce of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg. The conference's goal
is to increase the awareness of Luxembourgish companies concerning
project management methods and tools, to provide a platform for
sharing best practices and experiences and to explore emerging projectmanagement-related
topics.
During the last 10 years, project management methods have increasingly
become a subject of interest for Luxembourg’s companies.
The methods and tools for the management of projects, programs and
portfolios are spreading over all sectors. In spite of significant resource
limitations, these methods and tools always find a link with their origins:
the management of risks and value creation. Today, two major evolutions
aid Luxembourg’s companies in increasing their level of maturity:
on one hand, the distribution of project management specific processes
within all the departments of the organization, an, on the other hand,
the professionalization of the project manager’s function within the
organization.
Clearly, the project manager has a key role. As the interface between
all actors and constraints (customer, supplier, engineer, administrator
of project, etc.), he is the essential organ who coordinates all teams
and works, communicates and aligns himself with the strategy of the
company. His challenges will be found within the company, its governance
and its resources. As such, this fourth edition of the congress on
project management will focus on the theme of the "Project manager in
the heart of the organization".
This year, the conference will be organized as follows:
- a conference focusing on the topics "Project management per domain",
"Compatibility and project management"
- a workshop on the roles and missions of a project manager
- a trade fair with 20 project management service providers
- business meetings with all the exhibitors
During this day, the Luxtram company will present Luxembourg’s
Streetcar project and Den Atelier will speak about the management of
the “Rock a Field” festival. Finally, the last major point of the congress
will be presented during a round table session concerning project
management as a remedy in times of crisis. Other experiences from
the finance, industry or public administration sectors will be examined
during the course of discussions.
