WELCOME MESSAGE
Dear Fellow Project Management Professionals, Distinguished Speakers and
Conference Guests,
Thank you for your interest in the project management profession and attendance
of the conference.
GANBAT
CHULUUNKHUU
President of PMI
Mongolia Chapter
2014 has been a great year for PMI Mongolia Chapter. Our Mongolia Chapter
has been officially recognized by Project Management Institute (“PMI”) as part
of its Region 9. PMI is the world’s leading not-for-profit professional membership
association for the project, program and portfolio management profession. Founded
in 1969, PMI delivers value for more than 2.9 million professionals working in nearly
every country in the world through global advocacy, collaboration, education
and research. PMI advances careers, improves organizational success and further
matures the profession of project management through its globally recognized
standards, certifications, resources, tools, academic research, publications,
professional development courses, and networking opportunities. We are very
happy and grateful to be a part of PMI global family.
PMI Mongolia Chapter is much honored to host our first inaugural conference and
workshop with many project management professionals, distinguished speakers,
and interested guests. Mongolia is a great case study for the Project Management
in Emerging Economies conference. Thanks to its abundant natural resources,
Mongolia has attracted interest from global mining majors such as BHP Billiton, Vale,
Shenhua, Anglo American and welcomed multi-billion dollar investments from
Rio Tinto. Furthermore, some of the world’s largest engineering and construction
companies like Fluor, Bechtel, Worley Parsons already operate in Mongolia. A large
number of Mongolian public and private companies are developing and operating
major mining, infrastructure, industrial and civil construction projects, thus many
Mongolians could truly benefit from the growth of the profession demand and
the career opportunities. PMI global standards provide guidelines, rules and
characteristics for project, program and portfolio management. These standards are
widely accepted and when, consistently applied, they help you, your global peers
and your organization achieve professional excellence.
Without further ado, please enjoy the conference, network with fellow professionals
and use the PMI global standards in managing and growing your business, while
contributing to the national economy.
Sincerely,
Ganbat Chuluunkhuu
President, PMI Mongolia Chapter

INAUGURAL CONFERENCE AND WORKSHOP, 2014
WELCOME MESSAGE
In May 2012, prompted by a clear need to provide a forum for the development
of local project managers, Ganbat, Oyut and I began the process to establish a
Mongolian Chapter of the Project Management Institute (PMI). Although the receipt
of formal approval from PMI International in June 2014 may represent the official
conclusion of this process, we are still in the early stages of helping Mongolia adopt
best practice project management across all projects.
COLIN MURPHY
General Secretary
and Executive
Director of PMI
Mongolia Chapter
This weekend’s inaugural chapter conference is a major milestone on the road to
achieving this. The conference, with its focus on project management in emerging
economies, comes at a particularly important time. The great rise of the developing
world combined with tough recent economic times locally has increased pressure
for projects to be delivered on-time, on-scope and on-budget.
The organising team has brought together many leaders of project management
thought and practice from around the Asia-Pacific region. Whilst there is a lot we can
all learn from each of our presenters, an equally important part of every conference
is having the opportunity to discuss our ideas and experiences with our fellow
delegates and to build a strong professional network; we hope these two days
provide you ample opportunities to do so.
Thank you for attending and we hope you find PMI Mongolia Chapter’s inaugural
conference to be both enjoyable and professionally rewarding. I am also incredibly
grateful to the dozens of organisers, volunteers, speakers and sponsors, without
whom this event would not have been possible.
Sincerely,
Colin Murphy
Executive Director, PMI Mongolia Chapter
Welcome to Mongolia,
It is my pleasure to welcome all of you to the inaugural PMI Mongolia Chapter’s
international conference. Since March our team of volunteers has been diligently
working at creating a professional and educational experience. With dedication and
long hours, we have strived to not only apply the principles of project management,
but showcase some of the best Mongolia has to offer. I’d like to take this opportunity
to thank the volunteers and sponsors, who have made this event possible without
their support and dedication, none of this would be possible.
MARC TASSÉ
Conference Chair,
VP Events of PMI
Mongolia Chapter
I hope you have an exceptional two days and depart with a thirst to deliver all of
your projects on time, on scope and on budget.

DELIVERING GREAT PROJECT OUTCOMES IN FRONTIER
ECONOMIES
Abstract
Congratulations to the Mongolian Chapter of PMI for organizing
this conference, and for organizing a great collection of speakers
and panelists who will discuss their experiences and views on
issues critical to delivering great project outcomes.
I look forward to opening the presentations and will specifically
address the issue of whether great project outcomes are more
difficult to deliver in frontier locations. My thesis is that these
projects
• Are generally more complex
• Experience additional expectations and distractions
• Require more CEO and organizational focus
• Do not have as much access to high quality resources and services providers (within the host country)
CAMERON McRAE
Executive Chairman,
Skypath Partners LLC
Given these factors I believe frontier location projects are more difficult to lead and manage
with the demands on project leaders being more intense. This requires additional effort and
strategies to mitigate the difficulties.
Biography
Cameron served a 28 year career with Rio Tinto where his last position was CEO-President of the Oyu
Tolgoi (OT) copper-gold business in Mongolia. He also served as CEO of Richards Bay Minerals in
South Africa, Managing Director of Murowa Diamonds in Zimbabwe and Project Director for the Hail
Creek Coking Coal Expansion project (6mtpa to 12mtpa) in Australia.
Cameron’s career highlight was leading the establishment of the OT business – Mongolia’s worldclass mega-project in the remote Gobi Desert. OT commenced construction in 2010 and moved to
full production before Cameron left in October 2013. Many logistical, geo-political and government
challenges were overcome and the US$6 billion project was commissioned ahead of schedule.
OT is now operating above nameplate capacity. At OT’s peak of construction 15,000 people were
employed on both open-cut and underground development, and at the various off-site construction
locations and offices. A $4.2 billion project finance facility was put into place as was permitting and
contracts for construction of a 600MW coal-fired power plant.
As a business leader Cameron has delivered successful greenfield and brownfield construction
projects in three continents, overarching business transformations and business improvement
projects. At corporate level Cameron has delivered sectoral and country strategies, global IS&T
projects and sponsored cross business unit collaboration projects.
Cameron is experienced in managing the “soft but critical issues” with government at the most
senior levels, working with foreign embassies and influencing strategic direction in the leadership of
national business associations.
Cameron is 55 years, was born in Melbourne, Australia, was schooled in Australia and Africa and
received a commercial degree and MBA (Monash Mount Eliza – 1991).

CHALLENGES AND SUCCESS OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT
IN EMERGING MARKETS – INDIA
Abstract
Infrastructure industry is driving India’s GDP growth is an obvious
fact. This is bolstered by the planned government spending
of around INR 50 Trillion (USD 1 trillion) for the 12th five-year
plan (2013- 17) and a staunch commitment for infrastructure
investment proposed by the government. Planned infrastructure
spends and growth projections however paint only one half of
the picture.
RAJ KALADY
Managing Director,
PMI India chapter
With such large investments coming in, the importance of
completing projects on time has increased manifold. Successful
project delivery and spend efficiency, by the Government and
Private sector alike, are imperative to realize the desired growth
and consequent benefits. While modest strides have been made
in enhancing project delivery, projects are still burdened by
serious time and cost overruns, misconduct, wastage, all within
an inflationary environment.
This presentation looks at the India story as it stands today, the
ground challenges it faces for completing projects on time, the
causes of resistance towards project management v/s the growth
drivers of project management in India and last but not the least
this presentation will cite a couple of examples of successful
projects executed in spite of the ground realities.

career. Starting from my early work implementing a quality
management system in a small manufacturing business through

OT LOGISTICS IN MONGOLIA - RISK CASE STUDY
Abstract
Early delivery of construction equipment and materials to a
greenfield mine construction site is essential to meet construction
schedule and to minimize overheat and lost revenue from mine
operations. This case study will consider the risks and logistics
involved to bring both foreign workforce and materials needed
for the project to a remote site. The majority of the project plant
and materials had to be imported from China or through China
after delivery by ship from oversea ports. All these logistics had to
pass through the Gashuun Sukhait / Ganqimaodu border crossing
and travel on rough dirt, coal truck shared road to the OT mine
site. The issues to be considered and overcome to allow project
delivery through this bottleneck and onto the site are discussed.

PROJECT REQUIREMENT
Abstract
Good requirements management ensures benefits realization
As the global environment becomes more complex, the pressure
is on to deliver the right results. You can’t afford failures caused by
poor or inaccurate requirements.
Poor requirements management is a major cause of project
failure, second only to changing organization priorities.
However, our latest Pulse of the Profession® research has some
startling findings for organizations:
• Only 49 percent have the resources in place to do
requirements management properly;
• Only one-third say that their leadership values requirements
management as a critical competency for projects and
strategic initiatives; and
• 53 percent fail to use a formal process to validate
requirements in an unbiased way.
When properly implemented and supported, the critical
competency of managing requirements enables you to exceed
stakeholder expectations, improve performance, meet expected
project benefits and achieve tangible business outcomes.
Use the resources in the Knowledge Center to improve your
requirements management capabilities and maturity, and your
project or program success.
PROJECT RISK IDENTIFICATION AND MANAGEMENT
Abstract
Project risk management is an important aspect of project
management. According to the Project Management Institute’s
PMBOK Risk management is one of the ten knowledge areas
in which a project manager must be competent. Project risk
is defined by PMI as ‘an uncertain event or condition that, if it
occurs, has a positive or negative effect on a project’s objectives’.
We will focus on risk identification by using Meta Language, as
well as manage identified risks.

SCOPE AND PROJECT PLANNING – KEY TO IMPROVING
SUCCESS
Abstract
One of the major causes of project failure is poorly defined
project scope. Most often the scope definition process is rushed
in order to get into the project planning process. Without a
properly defined scope the project is at risk of having overlapping
deliverables and is very vulnerable to scope creep, resulting
in challenged or failed projects. The focus of this session is to
look at the importance of defining scope, working on the scope
definition process, examining strategies to limit scope creep and
managing the scope change process.
