Today I'm talking with Gene Bounds, Vice Chair of the PMI Board of Directors and a principal with Booz Allen Hamilton. Gene looks through a government lens to recommend that professional project managers can be most successful in today's economic environment by broadening their perspectives and skills in order to prepare for a variety of challenges.

Great News. I agree, during bad times, it is more than a need to get things right, on time and in a (cost) efficient way. Latin America will (or at least everybody expects that) keep growing a bit during this period of economic crisis, however it doesn't mean at all that there are no adjustments and skepticism on our companies' top management and decision boards that will force us -the PMs- to improve or process and delivery even better results -everybody is looking at us now.
Yes, it is time of opportunity, but also a hard time to show our abilities on risk management :-)
