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.

In October 2011 several of our CCCPM researchers depart for the long journey to Australia. Their goal is the city of Brisbane, where under the heading “Project Management – Delivering the Promise” the International Project Management Association will hold its annual world congress from 9^th - 12^th October 2011. The congress is once more seen as an opportunity to promote CCCPM’s new approach to the field and establish a vital exchange in the area of culture in complex project management.

From the 17^th - 18^th 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.
