Tina Cargile Presents at Translation World

The first Translation World Conference was held March 11-13 in Montreal, Quebec, presented by the Canadian Language Industry Association (AILIA), Multilingual Computing, and the Localization Institute. McElroy Translation was pleased to be invited to participate in a presentation at the conference, with our own Tina Wuelfing Cargile collaborating with Erin Vang of JMP R&D, SAS, in a debate moderated by Beatriz Bonnet of Syntes Language Group.

The topic, “Point/Counterpoint: Two Approaches to Project Management,” explored the strengths and weaknesses of traditional project management techniques versus facilitative leadership in the context of the translation/localization industry. Both Cargile and Vang hold PMP (Project Management Professional) certification from the Project Management Institute, and their positions were informed by the additional contrast that one operates on the vendor side and the other on the client side.
