QAI Announces the First Edition of Program and Portfolio Management Conference and Awards in India


New Delhi, Delhi, India, Tuesday, February 12, 2013 -- (Business Wire India) -- QAI, the world's leading operational excellence consulting and workforce development firm, announces the first Conference on Program & Portfolio Management in India (PPM 2013) to be held in Bangalore on February 20th, 2013. The theme of PPM 2013 is "Enhancing Business Performance through Successful Program and Portfolio Management", with key focus on simplifying the practices, propagating its benefits and knowledge sharing for the attendees. It aims to bring together practitioners and thought leaders from the industry, academia and government for sharing and exchanging ideas and learning in the area of Program & Portfolio Management.

With large projects and better project management maturity, organizations are seeking to maximize benefits and incorporate a robust governance mechanism to execute large scale programs, which typically run for multiple years and involve high investments. If projects can be thought of as the bottom of a hierarchy, programs sit above them in the middle of the hierarchy and address a related set of projects, then finally things get to be most complex at the top of the hierarchy - the portfolio management level. How projects and programs need to be aligned to organizational strategies and how best they need to be resourced and balanced is the main objective of all Portfolio Management initiatives. PPM 2013 aims to highlight how we can best address these issues and thereby improve organizational competencies and enhance performance.

The conference also aims to recognize leadership and contribution in the field of Program and Portfolio Management. Leading industry experts and researchers from across industries were invited to share their expertise and best practices in the area of Program and Portfolio Management. PPM 2013 has received author intent submissions by professionals from 35+ global companies across industries and sectors which will compete for the Best of the Best Awards at the conference.

Representatives from leading organizations and service providers in the Asia Pacific region including Chief Executives and Board Members, Directors, VPs and Change Leaders, PMO Leaders, Portfolio Management Leaders, Project and Portfolio Managers and Executives, Program and Project Management Leaders, Consultants and Coach / Trainers and others are expected to attend the conference.
