4. Global survey
• The world is spending 1/5 of its GDP (US
$12 trillion) on projects this year - and
organizations that range from global
businesses to governments and NGOs
have identified project management and
skilled project managers as the key to their
success.

5. Global survey
• The demand for project professionals is
staggering, with an average of 1.2 million
projected new jobs needing to be filled
each year for the next decade. This
demand far exceeds supply - and has
precipitated a global education crisis that,
if uncorrected, will put U.S. $4.5 trillion of
the global GDP at risk by 2016.
