PMs are feeling the pressure as budget and resource constraints impact project baselines while demands for improved results, and ever more rigorous accounting and reporting also increase. Wider adoption of automated PM tools are helping to close some of the gap, but fear and intertia-driven reluctance within organizations to accept new approaches and technologies is slowing the uptake of pressure-relieving process and technology improvements. Mr. Hallett, Director of Program Management Support Services and Asst. VP for Corporate Outreach for PMI-WDC will share his perspectives on emerging trends in project and program management in federal contracting.

Mr. Hallett has over 25 years of private and public sector experience, including a broad array of program and project management insight and experience, ranging from large enterprise IT services to international technology transfer programs in Asia and Europe. He is currently leading the implementation of an enterprise project and earned value management system for ManTech International, along with the development of an integrated set of project and program management tools for improved project performance and visibility across the organization. Mr. Hallett began his career as a Foreign Service Officer with the Department of State, serving in the Philippines, Taiwan, France, and Washington, D.C. He holds an MBA from the Thunderbird School of Global Management and a Bachelors from Emory University.
