Desmond OkonProject management stakeholders have called for the adoption of new technologies to improve results and deliver value to businesses in Africa.
Samuel Pownall, insight consultant, PwC Research, said recent years have been exciting for the sector in Nigeria and Africa.According to him, this is because, global data shows that in Nigeria and the African region, there is a greater strategic alignment of projects with the organisational goals. He said because of this, at PWC, project managers are called ‘project influencers’ adding that project influencers understand the strategic goals of the company.
“So even thinking career wise, building up a really strong and evidence of a strong soft skill set is going to really help the project manager progress in their career.” Speaking on a panel at the event, Taopheek Babayeju, chief executive officer, , iCentra Consulting, said over the years, there has been increased awareness of the “very inevitable role that project management plays in achieving not only business objectives, but also achieving national development”.Like Pownall, Babayeju also believes that the project economy contributes significantly to the GDP of the country.
