Recently, I had the great
opportunity to be in Monterrey, Mexico, providing project management services
to a local company in the field of engineering projects.
My first impression of this city
in northern Mexico was its obvious intention of modernity, captured by its
magnificent new buildings under construction, in addition to those already
built, which gives it a cutting edge profile among the main cities of Latin
America. It is a city in rapid change and growth, which exudes prosperity and this,
is perceived in everyday life. Added to this is the main symbol of this city, “El
Cerro de la Silla” (Saddle Mountain), named for its similarity with a
saddle on horseback, which gives the city its distinction.
After the pleasant visual impact
received, there is the friendly, simple and respectful treatment of the
“Regiomontano” (a term referring to the people from this city), very typical of
the Mexican idiosyncrasy. To this must be added, already in the specific area
of the execution of projects, that it can be verified the high skill and remarkable professional
level of personnel located in this city. In the entire workgroup with which I
shared my work, I observed great skills and technical capacity, cordiality,
proactivity, pleasant openness, and transparency, commitment to the objectives
set and high accountability in their actions. All these are key success factors
for any company or entrepreneurship.
Also, it is perceived in the engineering projects environment, extended familiarization with the most
recent approaches for the execution of projects, such as 3D Modeling,
Advanced Work Packaging (AWP), 4D Planning & Scheduling, High-Value
Engineering Centers (HVEC), and Building Information Modeling (BIM).
Everything described above, in
addition to its very convenient proximity to the United States, gives
Monterrey, a promising future for the intensive
development of engineering projects. Not to mention the possible existence of
tax incentives, which I could not validate, but which is very likely to exist.
With which this city reinforces its position as a reference throughout the
Americas as a fertile city for the development of all types of companies and
especially those related to the area of engineering project execution.
