The Fuzzy Economy: How Project Managers can Survive and Thrive?
Is US coming out of the economic crisis? What is the future of Euro and European Union? Is Chinese economy heading for a soft-landing or hard-landing? How Singapore businesses can manage rising costs and challenges? Are we into a V-shaped recovery or U-shaped recovery? Or is it going to be W-shaped?
This is mind-boggling! Isn’t it? But these are not just the newspaper headlines and stories. Each of us is impacted in one way or another by these fuzzy economic changes. The reason is simple – we are operating in a global environment where local economies are interconnected and heavily dependent on each other. How do the business leaders view these changes? What are the challenges and opportunities they can see for the business in next 3-5 years? and what do they expect from their project teams and managers in achieving business objectives?
