Wednesday, 07 May, 2014 07:00pm - 09:00pm - Seminar: Program Management vs
Project Management by Professor Mark Gershon, PhD. Temple University
The classic view of a program is that it is a big project, bigger
than a project, but still basically a project. The difference is that the
program is such a big project that parts of it are projects themselves. This
requires the use of a project manager for each of those smaller projects, who
then report to the project manager for the larger project. We call that person
the program manager. Are you ready to assume the leadership role in program
management? Is your company employing the right person to assume this bigger
role? Attend this Session to hear from Professor Mark Gershon as he discusses on
what it takes to be a successful leader in program management.

SYNOPSIS • Has the digital revolution
made it easier or harder for governments to keep secrets? ‑e controversies over
WikiLeaks and Snowden disclosures, and excitement over Open Data initiatives and
similar projects, might make us think we live in a new age of transparency. ‑e
reality is more complicated. In many ways, technological change has actually
complicated the task of monitoring government. And we should not underestimate
the capacity of governments to react forcefully against transparency initiatives
that threaten vital state interests
