Hello. So everybody welcome to the five minutes PM. Podcast Today like to discuss about a Congress that will be happening on may 12 and 13th here in some Paolo Brazil. It's the lean six Sigma Congress. It's a very interesting Congress that will be helping companies and organizations here in Brazil to bring excellence, not only in project management, but in general, Management to address and to deliver better results in the global market.

This is such an interesting thing because I'm pretty use it to see project management Congress or risk management Congress or a public sector Congress. But this Congress is quite different because they will be covering different topics from ecology and social responsibility, sustainability, and also project management, global economy, risk management, lean six Sigma, an innovation public Management. So it's a very broad Congress where we will try to put in place all the topics that will help companies and also help the government to address better project management.

I was very fortunate to be invited to be one of the speakers as a volunteer, to be one of the speakers we'll have about 60 speakers in this day, Congress is talking about many, many different topics in my topic. That will be exactly how project management can be a huge difference. We go to Brazil and the plan of accelerated growth. What we call a PAC here in Brazil, also the word cop Olympic games, an outsource all the new oil fields.

And as a Brazilian, I think so very proud and happy. Everything that happened in Brazil in the past five, six years, we were very lucky and we work at very well to address this because it's, I don't know, as far as I remember, I don't know a country that will be hosting the Olympic games and the world cup in two years. So 2014 and 2006, and this also bring us a huge, but a huge responsibility to make things happen.

And two first to win all this Olympic games and everything it's hard, but it's much harder to deliver it and to deliver will need very good project management. And also talking about the audit topics. It's really interesting because all this top, because they are interconnected sustainability, this is one topic at that time, thinking a lot. How are we Ken built and brings sustainability to our project management process?

It's really very important, very interesting. We saw the hydro power, the new power plant that we are planning to built in the North part of Brazil it's to be the third largest, a power generation hydroelectrical power plant in the country, in the planet. And its so interesting because we saw a huge debate regarding sustainability. So this is we'll be one of the topics that this Congress will be talking about. I second, the global economy, I was watching a vision today about the Greek problem and its so interesting because all this economic crisis is she is shifting from the poor countries in the past Southeast Asia, Latin America countries like Brazil, Argentina, they were in the middle of the crisis in now we are seen the countries in the European community, having the problems in the past, we're supposed to help the planet to solve the problem.

Now they are in the center of the problem. So it's so interesting to see how the word is shifting and we need also to shift our minds and to prepare or sell for something different can also risk management and lean six Sigma. I had the opportunity today. We do a project in Brazil Management and lean six Sigma to apply project management in lean six Sigma to get in touch Amazon in the industrial area of Amazon in the manufacturing.

It's so interesting. It's so interesting to see things working together. I received many, many messages. How about, well, what is better to do lean six Sigma are to do project management or to do something like scram or to do something like Princeton. It doesn't matter to much. What really matters is the result that we bring. So lets try to bring together. So this kind of Congress, it's also helping us to think about that. And now, so innovation and public sector innovation is the key aspect.

I talk at a bar, I think three or four weeks ago about innovation. When I was at MIT in us, innovation is a key driver for success and now So public sector. How we can develop good project management and good management practices in the public sector that will support all this infrastructure. So it's really interesting and I'm very happy because I spend that well, 10% of my time studying, learning, paying attention on presentation, congresses to improve myself and applied this into my business.

So it's really, I, I'm very excited and proud to be part of this Congress and as a volunteer, it's very important. I'm doing this as a volunteer and I'm very happy to contribute and now So to network with such a powerful and very competent people. So see you next week and lets meet on May 13th or in some Paulo bye-bye.
