Project title
Improving
the Competency of Local Project Managers in Managing Mega Infrastructure
and Construction Projects in Mainland China (Jun 2007 – Dec
2008)
supported by Professional Services Development Assistance Scheme (PSDAS),
Commerce, Industry and Technology Bureau, Hong Kong Special Administration
Region, and the Hong Kong Institute of Project Management
Abstract:
With a shortage
of reliable construction experts capable of overseeing mega joint-venture
projects, properly trained project managers from Hong Kong become the
most sought after project personnel in Mainland China in recent years.
Nonetheless, not too many project managers in Hong Kong are well prepared
for this challenge,mainly because there is a little channel for them to
update their knowledge on the rather diverse construction systems and
practices of our motherland. The aim of this project is to improve the
competency of Hong Kong project managers who are prepared to participate
in the increasingly popular mega-scale joint-venture infrastructure and
construction projects in Mainland China. Through this project, it is envisaged
that the knowledge of Hong Kong project managers regarding the Chinese
construction system and practice as well as the latest know-how of international
contract and best practice would be significantly elevated, and this should
further enhance their competitiveness over project managers from other
countries.
