Concept Symposium 2006

– September 7th - 8th 2006

The Norwegian Ministry of Finance and the Concept Research Program welcomed more than 80 specially invited participants from governmental agencies, academia, consultancy firms, and project management associations. Participants were selected resource persons with particular experience related to the symposium topics, from Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, India, Japan, Norway, Sweden, and United Kingdom and USA.

"This was an extremely high profiled program with insightful leading edge presentations by international and local speakers" - Thomas Walenta, Director, PMI Board of Directors

"I really enjoyed the deliberations and high quality contents. You all are contributing a lot in strengthening project management. As a President of IPMA, I must compliment the efforts of all of you" - Jain Adesh, President International Project Management Association (IPMA)

"Thought-provoking conference" - Jeffrey Pinto, Professor, Penn State University

The topics covered in the Concept Symposium 2006 were: What are the current procedures applied in different countries and agencies - and what are their effects? What would it take to develop more effective governance regimes at international, government or corporate level to ensure maximum utility and return on investment for society and investors? What would be the optimal mix of regulations, economic means and information in improved governance regimes for major investment projects?
