What will you contribute to the MBA “Strategic Project Management”?

In our ever-evolving and interconnected world, success will increasingly depend on our ability to recognize and harness the power of the networks around us. Embracing collaboration—both virtual and in-person—will not only enhance our ability to innovate but also amplify the value of our collective output. Those who skillfully leverage technology will gain a competitive edge, arriving ahead of the curve, while those who honor our shared humanity and social connections will set themselves apart in meaningful and enduring ways.

Why do you think Strategic Project Management is important?

Strategic project management (SPM) shifts the focus of projects from isolated milestones to a dynamic, adaptive journey aligned with broader objectives. By emphasizing directional progress, SPM becomes an integral and resilient framework within any organization, uniting people, processes, and tools to drive sustainable success and worker satisfaction.
