Our research at the University of Waterloo shows that projects are now more strategically important, larger, more complex and more likely to involve people in more than one country than they ever have been before. Globalisation and technological change are challenging organisations to be more innovative and change more quickly. Sometimes described as the Fourth Industrial Revolution, these changes require that organisations have more effective project managers and project management than most have today.
This website is intended to support the project management efforts of organisations and students at the University of Waterloo who are developing their own project management skills in my courses. If you would like to discuss the project management activities in your organisation, please don’t hesitate to contact me at: pdcarr@uwaterloo.ca .
