Ms. Alanoud explained in this one-hour seminar the importance of project management and risk management and how to overcome the obstacles you face during the project. I was able to participate and ask questions, and there was a group of case studies during the seminar which enhanced my understanding of the subject. I was expecting several case studies about Harkat company. I left the seminar with a lot of new and helpful information’s about risk and project management, I decided to implement them next year on my future projects.
The main key learning in this seminar was about the importance of project and risk management, for all kind of businesses. Managing Projects and becoming a creative industry gives the company a good reputation and popularity, which leads to higher profits because it will lead to more clients. It is also a huge source for competitive advantages. Before attending the seminar, Ms. Aljawharah asked us to do some further reading, so I did some research about the project management definition.
“–Project Management– is the dynamic process that utilizes the appropriate resources of the business in a precise and controlled manner, to accomplish some clearly defined goals known as strategic needs. It is always guided within a defined set of restrictions.”
(Kinicki and Williams, 2013)
