8. What was missing (if anything)?
  • The networking was not that deep and the communication when the apéro is should fit.
  • Clear information on when the event started ...
  • - A list of participants
    - Some basic handouts from presenters
  • nothing
  • Handout (I whould pay extra)
  • - Project Portfolio Management at Swiss Re not presented. It would have been interesting to see project management concepts in practice.
    - Practice about project management was missing.

10. What topics would you like to see covered at future events?
  • Real stories from a program level PMO
    How it was set up
    What it is (process, people, tools scope)
    How it is run
  • What the difference of the role of the Project-Office-Manager and the Project-Manager in a project?
  • Possible integrated tool solutions for managing and reporting projects.
  • - The role of PM from the executive perspectives or view.
    - Why are executive permissive to politics. Games that kill projects and thus generate costs?
  • - what other chapters are doing
    - some industry oriented project experience from customer side
    - new tools & methods
    - one or two workshops
  • Clever strategies to mitigate the known major causes for project failure, e.g. executive level support.
  • PM Practitioner Presentation from Large Construction Projects
    ( e.g. NEAT, Airport, Zurich HB)
  • 1. EPM tools
    2. Dealing with cultural differences
  • Risk management and contractual implications between suppliers / customers
  • Some topic(s) about project planning. How much planning is possible, desirable, acceptable? Are there any differences between industries?
  • ROI calculation for a project
  • PM metrics
  • For example comparison about different approaches in different companies.
11. Do you have any other comments or remarks about this event?
  • Thank you for a very beneficial event.
  • thank you for organising it!
  • The building was just great!
  • - location excellent but a bit expensive?
    - 1st time I attended - overall interesting and well prepared topics
  • I did not rate the presentations 2 and 3 because these were presented by colleagues of mine and therefor I wouldn't be objective.
  • Was well worth invested time! I was positively surprised.
  • Could have been a little more organised. e.g the missing detailed agenda and also call for topics before hand. May be I missed out on call for papers / topics.
  • The introduction seemed quite long to me (Andrea, task forces, etc.).
  • Keep up
  • Apero at the end of the event!
  • very good clustering of related topics. Probably should plan for having some more time for discussions during the presentations (rather than cutting it short and leaving it to the perosnal interactions during breaks).
