Dear Fellow Members of HKIPM, Colleagues and Friends

 

It is with immense pride and a deep sense of responsibility that I assumed the role of the President of the Hong Kong Institute of Project Management (HKIPM) 2025-2027 for a term of two years on 1 April 2025. I am truly delighted and honoured to lead an organization that has long been a cornerstone of excellence in the field of project management.

 

I wish to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all fellow members of the Executive Council, particularly our Past Presidents, Dr Francis Chan, Mr Simon Cheung, Ir Andrew Keung and Dr Fred Li for their trust and support rendered to me, and their unwavering dedication to advancing the project management profession.

 

Hong Kong, as a global hub of commerce and innovation, continues to navigate dynamic challenges—from technological transformation, digital advancement to sustainable development. In this evolving landscape, the project management profession stands at the forefront of driving impactful solutions and shaping resilient futures throughout the whole life cycle of construction projects ranging from planning, design, construction, to operation and maintenance.

 

By collaborating with the industry, academia and other local and overseas project management professional institutions, HKIPM will not only amplify Hong Kong’s influence and align with international best practices, but also champion the value of project management in driving Hong Kong’s economic and social development, as well as creating inspiring future leaders.

 

None of this is possible without you—our vibrant community of practitioners, educators and many other key stakeholders involved in the project management profession. I am looking forward to seeing and connecting with many of you through our upcoming members’ networking activities, CPD seminars on local or global contemporary topics or issues, practical case study sharing and guided site visits organized by HKIPM.

 

In order to promote and uphold the execution of project management excellence, we will continue organizing the HKIPM Annual Project Management Achievement Awards cum HKIPM Annual Dinners. Your valuable insights, profound passion and dedicated participation are the foundation of our collective success.

 

With all your unwavering support, enthusiasm and contributions, we are confident that HKIPM can be scaled to a new height in future.

 

Cr Professor Daniel W.M. CHAN

President (2025-2027)
