Abstract
This session overviews programs proposed and established to fill the study & research programs: (1) PM Applications, (2) Innovative PM, and (3) PM Methods and Techniques. They are the SIG programs for PFI (Private Finance Initiative), Risk Management, and PM Basic Techniques & PM terminology translation and definition working group. The SIG chairs explain the general programs for the time period of April 1999- March 2000, respectively. By sharing open-minded Q&A session with audience on the topics, it is expected that the audience develop better understanding of the proposed programs and that the chairs accept new and important opinions and develop better version of the programs. Consequently, we expect that audience will be able to find useful SIGs to join or to come up with a new SIG proposal.
