In this interview we learn how Mario Trentim stopped the trend of failing
projects when he was a PMO manager by researching better ways to manage
stakeholders. We discuss an effective stakeholder management cycle and
framework as well as how to involve stakeholders in value creation.
Encouraged by the success of his findings Mario went ahead and wrote a book
about it. It is titled Managing Stakeholders As Clients: Sponsorship, Partnership,
Leadership, and Citizenship. He was invited to The PMI Global Congress to
present these findings because he won the prestigious Kerzner award, which
recognizes a project manager who most emulates the professional dedication
and excellence of Dr. Harold Kerzner.
Interview with Mario Trentim recorded at the PMI
Global Congress 2014 in Phoenix, Arizona.
