Key Ideas

Ø Projects are focused on business results by creating

value, competitive advantage, and winning in the
marketplace.
Ø Most projects today are uncertain, complex, non-
linear, and changing.
Ø Meeting the “triple constraints” of time, budget, and
scope is insufficient to guarantee business success.

6
• Are YOU Ready?
• Do you have the skills that your organization executives are looking
for?
• Do you know what those skills are?
• Can you connect what you do everyday to your organizations business
goals?
• Can you demonstrate that you understand the future direction of your
organization and you can help your organization to get there a head of
competition?

7
• Are you going to wait for someone to tell you what you
should know and what you should DO or you are already on
your path towards that?
• Are you developing your portfolio of skills to match what the
organization needs? NOT NOW but 3 to 5 years so that you
help your organization;
§ Beat competition
§ Become more productive
§ Deliver more VALUE to all its stakeholders

8
The case for effective project management

• The world has become more projectized, We are in the

Era of the Project Economy.
Ø Projects and programmes help organisations achieve
their goals and strategic objectives:
v 95% of government policies are delivered through
major projects1 .
• The Project Management role is now more strategic
than ever.
