For organizations, talented and effective project managers are a competitive advantage and that will continue to be the case in 2011, according to J LeRoy Ward, the executive vice-president of ESI. “Savvy business leaders” have to consider talent management and organization-specific requirements in order to keep talented managers, especially as the number of career-growth opportunities increase.

The focus will be on communication, negotiation, and making changes within the organization to support the project. – …
