It is being established to address a variety of issues concerned with project-based organising in firms and projects, including <strong>innovation<\/strong>, <strong>learning<\/strong>, <strong>capability building<\/strong>, and <strong>strategy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The launch event has been well received: academics and project practitioners interacted and shared ideas and information on a variety of themes and topics. Dr. <strong>Mark Kozak-Holland<\/strong> delivered a very interesting lecture on impossible projects: using historical case studies, he drew implications and lessons to face current project management challenges. I have then chaired a <strong>round table discussion on Impossible Projects<\/strong>: <strong>Massimo Debenedetti<\/strong> (Fincantieri) highlighted the challenges for implementing innovation mind-set in a project-based organisation; <strong>Lill Von Bork <\/strong>(Ericsson) illustrated the synergistic contribution of tools and people for the delivery of impossible projects. <strong>The second round table discussion was centred on the Milan Expo 2015<\/strong> \u2013 <strong>literally, an impossible project made possible<\/strong>: <strong>Marco Rettighieri<\/strong> (Italfer), <strong>Alberto Prina<\/strong> (Telecome Italia), <strong>Alessandro Francolini<\/strong> (Ericsson) remarked the importance of effective project management, team work, and effort and commitment of individuals.<\/p>\n<p>I should think that the November 4<sup>th<\/sup> launch event signed a good start in terms of topic and approach: POCC\u2019s faculty is convinced that by linking industry and academia to co-create new knowledge generate the basis to advance the knowledge frontier in project studies to inform project practices and approaches. <strong>POCC and PMI will host the 4<sup>th<\/sup> International MegaProjects Workshop on 19-20 May 2016 at LUISS Business School<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sub-home-item-info vid\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/K4jYAvaL4Eg\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"sub-home-item-info vid\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aYSdr4xsrBs\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"sub-home-item-info vid\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6NzGMUrLEmA\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">9\/11\/2015<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On November 4th LUISS Business School has formally launched the Project Organising Competence Centre (POCC) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8701,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"twitterCardType":"","cardImageID":0,"cardImage":"","cardTitle":"","cardDesc":"","cardImageAlt":"","cardPlayer":"","cardPlayerWidth":0,"cardPlayerHeight":0,"cardPlayerStream":"","cardPlayerCodec":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"Master":[],"class_list":["post-8703","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/businessschool.luiss.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8703","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/businessschool.luiss.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/businessschool.luiss.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businessschool.luiss.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businessschool.luiss.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8703"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/businessschool.luiss.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8703\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businessschool.luiss.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8701"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/businessschool.luiss.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8703"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businessschool.luiss.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8703"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businessschool.luiss.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8703"},{"taxonomy":"Master","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businessschool.luiss.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/Master?post=8703"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
