Cycle of Seminars on the value of Project Management in public projects
The Spanish Association of Integrated Project Management (AEDIP) organized a Series of Webinars entitled IN PUBLIC – The value of Project Management in public projects, inviting reflection on the use of Project Management in public administration, Next Generation funds, public-private participation and concessions.
During the different conferences, which took place on July 15, 16 and 17, they talked about how construction projects are managed from the administration, and tried to understand what private initiative can contribute in the improvement of planning, design and construction processes. In addition, it delved into the reasons why this figure is not widespread in the administration; and the need for a boost to achieve the recovery and rehabilitation goals that are proposed in a short period of time.
On the first day, on what was the opening day of the cycle, we tried to deal with the possible reasons why the figure of the Project Manager, despite its expansion and proven success in the management of projects in the private sector, is not yet used in the public administration to tender its services. For this, we had Javier Albisu, Managing Director of Land Housing of Aragon; and Eva Mañes, technical advisor to the cabinet of the Undersecretariat of the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration; who explained to us how projects, portfolios and programs are being managed in the administration, and helped to know more about their needs, limitations and also their success stories.
