Oil & Gas Project Management Conference 2019: Next Generation Project Management

As the economic landscape changes and MER becomes more of a focus in the North Sea, project managers face new challenges in delivering value for their organisations. Outside of the oil and gas world, the project management world is evolving, and this also affects our sector. Coupled with advances in technical capability, changes in the working environment, and the emergence of a new generation of project managers, these will all alter the way that we do projects.

The ECITB’s 2019 conference will focus on how project management has, is and will evolve to bring benefit to project practitioners and stakeholders. Project professionals will be invited to hear about new developments, ask questions and join the discussion. In particular, younger project managers may be interested in how they can influence, and how they will be influenced by, these advances.

As well as highlighting new developments in the discipline, practical examples of how these are being used will be offered. Drawing on contributions from both within and outwith the industry, conference topics will include:

• Advances in technology, including “digital project management”
• Changes in behaviours and competence
• Improved project management methods
• Increasing agility and speed of delivery

Speakers and conference agenda will be released soon.
