Meanwhile, Bill McDermott, keynote speaker at the DIPMF said: "Developing a customer-driven culture is the key to connecting with the people and ensuring their happiness."
Addressing an audience composed of local and international project managers and experts, McDermott encouraged them to "dream big and unleash their indomitable will to shape the future and achieve extraordinary new frontiers."
"The important question is where we must go," added McDermott who is also the CEO of SAP SE, the leading global business software firm. "Our society today needs us to be design thinkers.

Also being discussed are sustainable project management, academic and youth project management, enterprise management, leadership in multi-culture environment, talent management and public-private partnership.
