Cultural differences and the complexity of the project network are likely to cause unexpected deviations from project plans. Learning to understand cultural differences is a long-lasting process.

This and much more is part of the conference which is organized by the Project Management Association of Iceland. The association was founded in 1984 and is one of the most successful member associations in the IPMA family. If I put the membership and certification figures in correlation to the population of the whole country it is the most successful one!! Don't miss the conference, I am really looking forward to meeting all of you at this event.
