Project Management: Where's The Value?
More than four years ago, one of the most significant research endeavours in the field of project management was launched – an attempt to explore and understand the value of project management to organizations. This study, sponsored in part by the Project Management Institute, is the largest and most significant research study that has been conducted in the field of project management. After an extensive and intensive research process, we can now share what we have learned. This study has involved fielding over 18 teams around the world to conduct case studies with more than 65 organizations. After three years of data collection and analysis, our research team has gained significant insight into what is implemented in organizations that is called project management, and the value these implementations realize.
When organizations implement project management, what do they actually adopt? What are the reasons and drivers for these implementations? What value is expected, and what value is actually delivered? Most importantly, what do these insights offer you in terms of how you can think about the value of project management within your own organization? This presentation explores these insights and more in what will be a profound and informative insight into the state of project management today.
Attaining Value in Project Management
The results of the international research project ‘Understanding the Value of Project Management’ provide compelling insights into the value that implementing project management provides to organizations. Key among the findings was that what works for organizations depends upon the value that they seek and the environment in which they operate.
For organizations seeking to enhance the value of their project management capabilities, the key question that must be asked is “What capabilities are actually appropriate for them?” This presentation explores the findings of the Value of PM project in detail, providing organizations with the insight necessary to more precisely define their goals and identify those specific capabilities that will best enable these goals to be realized. Participants will be able to situate their own organizations in the findings and gain insight into what will create – or destroy – the value they seek. For anyone recognizing that greater value from project management is possible, or necessary, this is a presentation that cannot be missed.
