IN A DYNAMIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL WORLD, ORGANIZATIONS WITH PROJECT MANAGEMENT IN THEIR DNA WILL BE ABLE TO FIT TO A CHANGING SCENARIO, ACHIEVE THEIR OBJECTIVES, AND BECOME LEADERS.
Projects provide organizations with predictions and constant adaptation to change, enabling them to develop and achieve their objectives.
The corporate strategy defines the direction of the organization, while projects are the driving force that triggers the fulfillment of strategic initiatives. From a business perspective, to be optimal a governance model must be profitable and tangible, and based on best practices. To achieve this, including Project Management in its DNA is a necessary step.
In addition, to plan their development, organizations must answer at least three questions:
1. Are we going to do what we need to do and what adds value to our organization?
2. Have we added a Project Management model as part of our DNA?
3. Are we efficient in managing our administration and our cost?
The knowledge of what is lined up to be developed, and order, planning, and adaptation provide a clear and realistic guideline towards corporate objectives, as well as greater efficiency. They also allow to avoid unnecessary costs resulting from actions that are considered “wasteful” or that do not add value to the objectives to be achieved. Hence, a business model including the practice of Project Management will achieve, among other things:
• Integration and cohesion
o Projects integrated and aligned with the corporate strategy,
o Methodology, tools and indicators strategically applied according to the context,
o Continuous and reliable project monitoring.
• Vision and expert leadership.
• Analysis of risks and issues.
• Comprehensive quality of the project and its related components.
• Project output based on stakeholder expectations.
• Early return on investment.
From a broader perspective, organizations with Project Management in their DNA will be prepared to project their future, as they will be able to plan their development; adapt to the context, achieve their objectives, and play a leading role.
