When Qatar's government announced a project management training course for some of its officials last month, it was frank about why the course was urgently needed.
"The National Development Strategy 2011-2016 calls for individuals and teams within government to work in ways that may be new to them," the General Secretariat for Development Planning said in a statement.
The course will introduce participants to key management concepts such as time, cost, quality and results, and teach them how to handle changes to projects after they have been launched.
Qatar's huge infrastructure building plans, which envisage spending about $140 billion through 2022, promise to transform the tiny, gas-rich country. They have businessmen around the world salivating at the prospect of lucrative construction and equipment contracts.
