CEPMa Workshop ’12; 4 – 5 Oct; Valladolid, Spain

CEPMa 3rd International Construction and Engineering Project Management Workshop’12: Project Based Organisations in the Project Based Economy. October 4-5, 2012, University of Valladolid, Valladolid. Spain. Most of the high value creating activities performed by organisations are projects. Therefore, corporate success is the mirror image of firm project success. At the end of this decade, around 20% of the economic value will be delivered by means of projects.

Aims and Scope
The Construction and Engineering Project Management Workshop (CEPMaW´12) will provide a unique opportunity for professionals and researchers to exchange their knowledge and advances in project, program and portfolio management. As in previous editions, CEPMaW  will provide a forum where novel research and professional practices can be shared and discussed, filling the gap between theory and practice.

In this third edition, we are particularly interested in the role of project based organisations in the project based economy, linking corporate strategies to portfolios and projects.  New theories, methodologies and real cases in project, program and portfolio management will be analysed and discussed.

Relevant topics to this workshop include, but are not limited to, the following:
-  Project based organizations theory and management.
-  Project based economy, innovation and competitiveness.
-  Project and portfolio management in the economic crisis.
-  Standards and methodologies for project, program and portfolio management.
-  New trends in project, program and portfolio management.
-  Corporate strategy and project portfolio.
-  Project Management in Education: opportunities and challenges.
-  Successful cases in project, program and portfolio management.
