 About the presentation: 

The most important asset for organisations today is data. With the exponentially growing amount of information, also the project management domain is expected to become a more analytics-driven practice that relies on the proper collection and processing of relevant project information. An estimated 80% of data that is collected today by organisations is usually unused as it is considered of no benefit for business operations. In the era of big data, such information, known as dark data, is becoming a problem as it means that there is hidden information that will not be accounted for in decision-making processes. This represents an increasing risk for projects as it could lead to wrong project decisions.
The presentation will provide insights on the nature of dark data, the different types of dark data, how it impacts project management, and what organizations and project professionals can do to address this increasing risk.

About PM Fair 2020, the digital fair:

Firstly, for reasons that should be obvious to all, this year’s event will be virtual and not physical: we are going online. No physical face-to-face sessions are envisaged. Instead, the congress will be made up of a series of webinars, online workshops and master classes.

Whilst presenting numerous challenges, this also provides plenty of opportunities.

The congress will be spread over an entire week, from Monday the 28th of September, through to, and including, Saturday the 3rd of October. The intention is to offer morning ‘coffee time’ sessions, along with lunch time opportunities, and additional sessions in the early or late evening, thereby maximising the possibility for our members to participate, either in live webinars, or by accessing recorded sessions.

In addition, ‘going virtual’ enables us to extend our existing wonderful relationship with our friends and neighbours, and present PM Fair 2020 in conjunction with from PMI Netherlands and PMI Luxembourg.
