In today’s economically strained environment, successful Project Managers need to think creatively not only to make projects successful, but also to: 

• Create value for organizations
• Provide sustainable competitive advantage for organizations
• Motivate team members
• Get stakeholders’ buy-in on important project decisions
• Solve customers’ complex problems
• Secure project financing

And hence the theme 'Outside the Box Project Management' for the PMI New Jersey Chapter 2009 Regional Symposium to be held May 4, 2009 at the Pines Manor in Edison, New Jersey. 'Outside the box' includes both capturing creative solutions and innovative techniques to traditional project management challenges, as well as leveraging traditional project management tools and techniques that can be applied rapidly to deliver project value in times of change and economic challenge.
