[SLIDE 1]Good morning ladies & gentlemen.Whenever I attend a Project Management conference, I'm looking for something I cannot find elsewhere. Maybe a unique piece of wisdom, a particular outlook on a known situation, or anything that would make it worth my time. This is why, whenever I am asked to speak at a conference, I always try to prepare something ... quite unusual ... so that my audience actually goes back with something new they can try on.So, when I was first approached by The Big 5 to present, I immediately started thinking about what keynote I would give, which topic would be of interest to you. So, I looked back, seeking for the biggest challenges I have been facing for the past 12 months. I discussed with fellow Project Managers, PMO Heads, Senior Stakeholders, Executive Sponsors. And I found a recurring theme. Something that was consistently affecting each and every person I interviewed. There were actually two, but I flipped the coin :)
