    V AP-CON 2010 Congreso Centroamericano y del Caribe de Administración de Proyectos. 

     

    The event took place in San Jose, Costa Rica on September 22rd thru 24th and brought together more than two hundred project managers from Central America and the Caribbean. The event was organized by the PMI Costa Rica Chapter  and  Colegio de Ingenieros Civiles.  

     

    Jamie Gelbtuch and I were guest speakers. The title of our presentation was "Formando un Equipo de Proyecto Multigeneracional de Alto Rendimiento" (Developing a High Performance Multigenerational Team). The audience included project management professionals from Guatemala, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, the United States of America,Costa RIca and Brazil. 

     

     

     

    Jamie and I decided to combine our personal experience in cross-cultural and project management environments to which we had been exposed throughout our professional careers. During a discussion, we concluded that today's project managers not only wrestle on a daily basis with budgets, schedules and team issues, but for the first time in many decades with a new element of diversity  — the management of multigenerational teams.

    The outcome of that discussion was the article "Multigenerational teams and Their Impact in Project Management" published in April's PMI Community Post. The article was well accepted by the project management community and as a result we were invited by the PMI Global Diversity Community of Practice to conduct their inaugural webinar last August (2010).

    The presentation used in the webinar was adapted for the V Central American and Caribbean Project Management Congress in order to address the Central American and Caribbean audience.

    The event was very well organized and Jamie and I would recommend that you consider attending the congress next year.

    My passion is program and project management and how culture impacts the project outcome. I'd been managing global and regional projects around the world led and managed diverse and disperse teams and transformed programs into benefits.
    I had been exposed to several project management methodologies and achieved credentials from different project management organizations. I am the first Mexican to achieve the PgMP credential and mentoring potential candidates from Latin America.
    As an avid volunteer with PMI and with other organizations I participate in events that promote the project management culture. I have a strong multi-cultural background and speak fluently English, Spanish and Portuguese.
    I am a frequent speaker at regional and global project management congresses. You can read my columns in PMI Community Post and INyES Latino.
