I cordially believe that “True Project Management” is not limited to a particular line of business or predefined industry. It is a management epistemic endeavor that once is mastered, can penetrate any and everything. anything and any team. towards any agreed yet rational targets.
Collaboration between the urban parameters and the operational strategies is critical to avoid redo or failed outcomes. Project & Program management enables to synchronize multiple activities within the benefit realization to assure meeting both strategic and operational goals. However, managing the working teams with adequate leadership inputs is important to enable preparedness and fitness to the assignments.
My passion for training is inspired by my vision of knowledge management as the epistemic tool that had built, develop and sustain the human civilization. Both individual and corporate life cycles are spinning around KM and its associate knowledge zones. Grooming my team is an asset of my leadership.
