This brand new global network is dedicated to research aimed at developing the practice and theory of project, programme and protfolio management. Our intention is to create a number of global hot spots for management knowledge within the above disciplines by bringing together leading practitioners, world class researchers and organisations with dynamic and complex challenges.

The access and insight provided by the organisations gives the opportunity for research that is both highly relevant and highly rigorous. The output of the research is evidence of the effectiveness of different approaches and innovations to drive excellent performance in project and programme-based environments in the future.

Work already carried out in our network includes the generation of a framework of metrics for organisational success and performance within project-based environments. The framework is the result of a comprehensive empherical research study. The intention is to let the framework be the starting point for a benchmarking study together with our customer network.

In creating the |G|E|N| our volunteers and customers collaborate to push forward the boundaries of project and program management knowledge.The opening of our common open networks of hot spots in November 2008 will be the starting point of a new era in the development of project and program management knowledge.

We look forward to working with you.
