About the Presentation:
Project Management Challenges Faced by Small and Medium Enterprises and NGOs in Western India and How PMI Methodologies Can Help
This interactive session will cover the following:
• To introduce the PMI chapter activities in India to the members of PMIWDC chapter
• To give a brief introduction about Pune and Western India and provide a perspective of Economic / Socio-Political / Cultural importance of this region within India
• To present specifically The following issues from PMI perspective:
o Challenges faced by Small & Medium Enterprises in Pune & vicinity, and potential solutions for implementation at project level
o Challenges faced by Non-Government Organizations carrying out social welfare projects in Pune and vicinity, and potential solutions using project principles
• To seek ideas and collaboration from the PMIWDC chapter in addressing these issues, spearheaded by PMI Pune chapter
Pune is one of the oldest cities in India. Recently Pune has become an important hub in India for ever growing IT / Software Industry. Additionally, it is predicted that this city will outgrow other locations in auto manufacturing and it will become one of the most important centers for auto components industry for the world market. It is natural that such a region is expected to have its share of problems due to growth. Currently, there are over 10,000 Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in and around Pune and over 200 NGOs operating various types of social welfare programs.
To address challenges faced by SMEs and NGOs, PMI Pune Chapter has embarked on a bold initiative. The following are our initial steps:
• PMI Pune Deccan Chapter will conduct 2 seminars in Pune (free of cost ) during Oct-Dec ‘08 for promoting PMI thinking & methodology for these segments and enlighten these sectors about current methodologies/concepts and fundamentals with a view to help them.
• Although PMI Pune chapter has decided to address these issues on their own, the chapter is seeking help from PMIWDC through expert collaboration in these issues over a longer period of time (2-5 years).
We believe that such efforts by PMI Pune Deccan and PMIWDC will benefit the SMEs and the NGOs in the long run, and increase the visibility of PMI-led global initiatives and establish credibility of PMI in India and other developing countries.
