Editor’s Perspective on the March 2009 Edition of PM WorldToday

Welcome to the March 2009 edition of
PM World Today.  Since 1998, PM World Today has been a leading online source of educational and informative articles and stories about project management.  As the global reach of this online publication grows, we continue to seek new authors who want to share knowledge or advance their careers.  If you have project management knowledge (or a story) to share, please send an article for publication. We are especially interested in those that contribute to solving global problems.

Each month the Editor’s Perspective on the Current Edition provides a short overview of the contents of the current edition of PM World Today.  This month’s edition again contains articles, news and stories from around the world of project management (PM), including several in Spanish.  PM World Today is an educational resource for PM professionals.  It is also a service for PM experts, leaders and professionals who want to share knowledge, get published or gain more visibility in the PM world.

This month’s Editorial is entitled " Project Management as a National Competency! How Modern Project Management can help organizations, industries and economies" If modern PM can help an organization become more efficient, productive and competitive in the global economy, it seems logical that if more organizations within specific industries embrace PM best practices, then that industry will become more productive.  If organizations and industries within states and countries become more efficient and competitive, then local economies will benefit.  This article builds on this theme first advanced by Ed Naughton in Ireland and the project-oriented society research underway by Roland Gareis’ team at the Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration in Austria.   Please read this month’s editorial and let me know what you think.
