A nice token of appreciation from the the PMI Costa RIca Chapter and the Colegio de Ingenieros Civiles de Costa Rica for the Presenters of the V Centro American and Caribbean Congress of Project Management held in San Jose, Costa Rica.
Pura Vida Costa Rica !!!
V AP-CON 2010 Congreso Centroamericano y del Caribe de Administración de Proyectos.
Jamie Gelbtuch and I were guest speakers at the V AP-CON 2010 Congreso Centroamericano y del Caribe de Administracion de Proyectos (5th Central American and Caribbean Project Management Congress) organized by the PMI Costa Rica Chapter and Colegio de Ingenieros Civiles.
The event took place in San Jose, Costa Rica on September 23rd and 24th and brought together more than two hundred project managers from Central America and the Caribbean.
The presentation topic 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, Brazil and the United States of America.
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 the August 2010 Monthly Webinar.
The presentation used in the webinar was the adapted for the 5th 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.
