The CCCPM group steps into 2012 with a sense of satisfaction with the work done last year and anticipation of achievements that the year ahead has to unveil. The group completed 2011 with a gathering that took place at the end of November in Berlin, on the SEgroup premises. Doctorate candidates, supervised by Dr. Louis Klein, engaged in peer exercises and received feedback from each other as well as from a special guest - Prof. Dr. Stephan Breidenbach (European University Viadrina, Humboldt Viadrina School of Governance). The students had three minutes to present their project and gained valuable insights from Dr. Breidenbach, formulated in his perceptive and to-the-point style. In addition to evaluating individual PhD project's progress, the group looked at the joint accomplishments of CCCPM during 2011 and created a roadmap with most important milestones of 2012. Conferences, publications, workshops and further group meetings - there is a lot to be looking forward.
From the 17th - 18th August 2011 the CCCPM group attends the Research and Innovation Seminar by the International Centre for Complex Project Management in Lille, France. Held at the SKEMA Business School, the seminar invites ICCPM focus groups, academics as well as leading professionals to collaborate on and discuss complexity in project management. The CCCPM group wants to share its insights from the different dissertation studies and gain new, interesting input from leading researchers in the field.
In June 2011 CCCPM students gathered in Berlin to discuss the progress of their PhD research and discuss the future of the CCCPM as an innovative PhD program. The 3-day meeting resulted in refining individual research ideas, agreeing on desired deadlines for submitting the thesis, defining key stakeholders of the project and drafting a communications plan. 9 students left inspired and committed to co-creation. Next CCCPM Gathering is planned for November 2011.
CCCPM is a progressive research setting that aspires to address the challenges of Project Management in the context of cross-cultural complexity. This context requires new knowledge and a broader support network.
Our team of young and advanced investigators from diverse cultural backgrounds and fields of social and cultural sciences is working on cutting edge research in order to find ways to face the challenges of the next society.
