The Best Part of the Career: Managing Successful Programs (MSP)

What challenges do MSP, those in charge of transformational change in organizations today face the most?

The culture of the organization that requires or wants to undergo transformation must first be understood. Effectively, change is similar to breaking eggs to produce an omelet. While taking serious action can be required, leaders must be able to adapt to the culture and interact with people effectively with the use of MSP.

This calls for an understanding of the stakeholders and, particularly in extremely large organizations, identifying those who will be important to a successful change process but who might not be as visible.

Recognized industry best practices like PRINCE2 and Managing Successful Programmes (MSP) help establish a common vocabulary as well as a starting and ending point for a change project in this complicated context of change.

Meeting the demands of new organizational change 

Studying MSP is the next step up, in my opinion as a project management professional with a PRINCE2 certification.

The vision statement, which sets the tone for the remainder of a program, is a good place to start, in our opinion, among the advice that MSP provides.

A short, snappy statement that the program board may embrace is quite helpful, and as long as the board meets regularly and is engaged with the program manager, it helps decision-making and sustains program progress.

For instance, developing a vision statement for a business importing electric scooters helped maintain constant focus on the company’s eventual goal of electrifying transportation in urban areas.

The MSP method’s use of tranches is still another advantage. Since the program manager can divide the activity into smaller portions and concentrate on the stakeholders for each tranche, this helps to eliminate time slippage in programs.

In MSP 5th edition – the current version of the guidance – the target operating model determines the outcome of a program. This goal for completion encourages everyone to adhere to deadlines and quickens the pace of work. People need to comprehend why the organization must change and, as a result, why they must also adapt – perhaps through training – to thrive in the company’s future conditions.

The career value of MSP

A best practice certification like MSP is the cream on top that is your entire career and education.

When you declare you are MSP qualified, people understand the degree of expertise you have attained, just like when you say you are certified in Lean Six Sigma. Practically speaking, it elevates your capacity for dialogue with other stakeholders and comprehension of various viewpoints to a whole new level.
