			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Venerdí 23 marzo lo SGM Conference Center di Roma ospiterá &#8220;Gli Amici di Ylenia per&#8230; un progetto speciale. Obiettivi per stili di vita sostenibili&#8221;, un <em>meeting diffuso</em> organizzato dall’Istituto Italiano di Project Management (ISIPM) in collaborazione con l&#8217;Associazione ONLUS &#8220;Ylenia e gli amici speciali&#8221; legato a un progetto dalla forte valenza sociale:  la costruzione di  una casa in cui ragazzi diversamente abili possano vivere, convivere e sviluppare rapporti di amicizia.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://blog.espm.eu/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/ylenia3.jpg" ><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-1054" title="Gli Amici di Ylenia per… un progetto speciale" src="http://blog.espm.eu/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/ylenia3.jpg" alt="ylenia3 Gli amici di Ylenia per... un progetto speciale" width="542" height="108" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Utilizzando le parole dell’Associazione ONLUS Ylenia e gli “amici speciali”, co-organizzatori dell’evento, l&#8217;evento sarà “<em>un’occasione unica per far si che un sogno, ben pianificato e gestito (anche grazie alla disciplina del project management) diventi un progetto in grado di raggiungere gli obiettivi prefissati e di divenire realtà</em>”.</p>
<p>Un incontro in cui attraverso la presentazione di un progetto avviato, si avrà modo di approfondire le dinamiche del project management applicato al sociale.</p>

<p>Project Management Consultant<br />
<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://blog.espm.eu/goto/../goto/http://www.projectize.eu"  rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Projectize</a> – London and Turin</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The past 50 years have seen the birth of Project Management as a discipline in its own right. That is, outside the scope of “construction engineering” or “military and large government initiatives”. The turning point was marked by the establishment of the Project Management Institute<sup>®</sup> in the US, promoting the discipline to all fields in both the private and public sectors.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">About 50 years earlier, Management Consultancy was born as a discipline with the first two firms to operate as such being <em>Arthur D. Little</em> and <em>Booz Allen Hamilton</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Since then, management consultancy grew rapidly and evolved to address a wide spectrum of needs that aimed at achieving higher efficiency and growth, which it went on to do successfully until globalisation started and large organisations began to expand overseas. They were hit by the first lessons of cultural impact on business practices. Not only did well-established management practices in the US fail to work in Japan and elsewhere, they furthermore proved inimical and were detrimental to results.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The perceived virtues of “getting down to business”, “openly addressing conflicts” and “holding responsible persons accountable for their actions” were often seen as “impolite and lacking in personal relation”, “rude and damaging to harmony” and “improper attempts to signal out an individual rather that the group” respectively.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The results were astonishing; multi-million joint ventures broke with ill feelings because the first management consultants did not consider the impact that a different culture can have on their (very successful at home) theories.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Following that first experience, various studies and research sprang to try and understand the above and find ways to best address the cultural complexities. One of the most notable, and by far the largest study of its time, was conducted by the social psychologist Geert Hofstede.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Hofstede’s research and findings, which are later elaborated in this paper, have had a profound positive effect on multinational businesses. Many large organisations use it to date to fine tune their management approach outside their home countries.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Today’s global market has impacted projects and programmes in no lesser way that it has processes. Indeed, one can argue that multiculturalism has a more profound effect on projects simply because projects involve multiple parties or organisations, that necessitate the building of temporary working relationships with persons who may come from a different corporate culture. Add to that the national (or ethnic, or religious, etc) cultural aspect, and you have yourself a real challenge.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Can we then apply our lessons learnt from studies of multiculturalism effect on businesses and processes to projects? That was only a hypothetical question; without a doubt the answer is yes. The effect different cultures have on various disciplines may differ, however, their effect on our values is the same. Hofsteds’s research identified the major cultural aspects (dimensions) and some of their effects. It is up to us to identify how do they apply within the context of project and programme management.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Quale ruolo puó giocare il project management in questo periodo di trasformazione del tessuto economico e sociale locale? Quali prospettive per il Nord Ovest? Se ne parlerà il 28 marzo a Torino presso la Facoltà di Economia all’interno di uno dei numerosi eventi organizzati dal PMI-NIC.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Questo incontro vedrà l’intervento di numerosi relatori che si alterneranno al microfono per parlare di quali strade ha intrapreso l’arte e la professionalità del project management nel territorio del Nord Ovest, mostrando esempi di successo, e illustrando quali percorso in vece possano essere i migliori da seguire all’interno del contesto attuale, in cui lavorare progettando e il puntare alla qualità ai risultati non è un peso o un orpello inutile, ma un risorsa e un valore aggiunto irrinunciabile.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><em> Progettando® è una modalità di incontro che il PMI®-NIC ha sviluppato per confrontare metodi, pratiche e sensibilità diverse applicate alla gestione di progetti di varia natura, per arricchire chi “di mestiere” affronta quotidianamente il ruolo di project manager, chi lo svolge inconsapevolmente o “accidentalmente” e anche chi verso questa disciplina nutre ancora soltanto curiosità.</em></p>
