Abstract:

The differences in culture and focus are the leading reason why government projects differ from their private sector counterparts. Understanding the cultural differences—and how they impact project success—can help project managers moving from the private sector into the public sector (and vice versa) make a more successful transition.

Learning Objectives:

Attendees will learn about and have the opportunity afterward to discuss key ​​similarities and differences of managing projects in Public vs Private Sectors​,​ such as:

·       Frameworks

·       Protocols & Practices

·       Movitivations

·       Consequences of Failure

·       Culture & Politics

·       Process vs Outcome
