About the presentation:

How do young people embrace project management to become leaders and why compare a corporate to a start-up project environment? How do you select the culture you belong to? How to step into a more powerful and innovative project management? We live in a highly dynamic environment where technology accelerates the pace of interactions of knowledge and where young people fluctuate between complex corporate environments & lean start-ups.

The “new normal” demands talent to handle the ambiguities nevertheless for Project, Program & Portfolio Managers, this is a unique opportunity to contribute beyond the immediate objectives outlined from their corporate strategy in order to build innovation.
