WHY PROJECT MANAGEMENT AT YOUR ORGANISATION?
Traditional project management tended to focus primarily on the processes of managing projects to successful completion. To manage project from their inception through to actual delivery of the business enabling objectives, a different project management approach is needed at your company. Project management needs to become part of the organisations business and in order to achieve this; the organisations need to come to term with the business of project management. This is the first step that will assist your company to differentiate itself from competitors through unique project management systems enabled by employees who have strategic knowledge in managing through projects.
The struggle of many organisations to implement and apply project management has demonstrated that the classical, highly structured, engineering/construction approach does not meet the project management needs of business projects.
As the organisations need to convert its strategies into reality through programmes and projects, they have to ensure that projects are efficiently delivered and effectively integrated into the business.
A business project management approach at your company can bridge the gap between strategy and detail action plans.
This programme addresses the concepts and issues of business project management. It aims to assist the organisation in making the shift from a narrow, strong, technical focus on project management to a broader, more business-oriented focus.
