Strategic Project Management for the Public Sector Conference: Governance, Accountability, and Results

Tuesday, February 6, and Wednesday, February 7, 2007

Crowne Plaza Ottawa Hotel, Ottawa

Conference Overview

Capitalize on proven project management disciplines to achieve your strategic goals.

Whether you directly manage or are ultimately accountable for major IT projects, shared services, service delivery, or other major transformation initiatives, success depends on your ability to deliver results - on strategy, on time, and on budget.

Government is only as effective as its project management.

Hear from leading practitioners and experts, and discuss today’s public sector project management challenges, including:

*How to take an enterprise-wide approach to project selection and execution

*The best governance structure for specific projects

*Ensuring engagement over the life of a long-term project

*Project management and the new accountability agenda

Effective project management has become a strategic imperative.

Accountability and transparency have become the driving principles of governments across Canada, increasing the pressure to select the right projects, provide the resources they need, monitor their progress, and ensure they deliver. And the buck doesn’t stop with the Project Director. Deputy Ministers, Assistant Deputy Ministers, and Directors General must come to grips with complex process, governance, and oversight requirements to ensure project success.
