Succeeding in the project economy - Duke Corporate Education

The project economy is one in which people have the skills and capabilities they need to turn strategic objectives into reality through benefits realization.

It’s where businesses provide their value proposition in order to preserve and expand market share through project completion in an increasingly digital environment.

According to the World Economic Forum, by 2025, half of all workers will require retraining. That is the technical talents that allow an individual to do a task. Faced with global labor market issues, an increasing number of companies are realizing the importance of continuing to train their employees in project management science. ‘Project-based work is the motor that drives change and advancement,’ according to Antonio Rodrigues.

Project managers will need skills in a wide range of knowledge areas to be truly effective in how businesses and individuals use project management. Individuals can develop and improve their knowledge, skills, and abilities in a variety of ways. However, one proven and tested option is training and certification. APMG-International provides a comprehensive selection of industry best practice knowledge packages that are tailored to satisfy the needs of a growing project economy. As a result, people should think about reading about and learning how to apply:

Strategy Implementation Institute Professional

Strategy implementation is a rare and valuable skill set that distinguishes the most successful and influential corporate leaders. Individuals with a proven capacity to distinguish between good and bad strategies, as well as the ability to implement strategy, are in great demand from companies all over the world. The problem is that today’s leaders have been educated on how to plan but not how to carry out their plans. This is reflected in the high failure rate of strategy implementation, with only 52% of firms achieving more than two-thirds of their own strategic objectives, according to the Strategy Implementation Institute in 2020. This high failure rate drives the need for project managers to enhance their abilities and become recognized strategy implementation institute professionals.

Managing Benefits by Steve Jenner: Optimizing the Return from Investment

As a result, understanding the portfolio’s contribution to organizational (including strategic) goals is at the heart of effective benefits management. That is, the major driver and rationale for any investment should be the benefits, whereas costs should be the limitation. Organizations invest in programs, projects, and other ventures in order to reap the following benefits:

  • Increased income
  • Efficiency savings
  • A tangible contribution to a strategic objective or business priority
  • Meeting a legal or regularity requirement or maintaining business as usual
  • Maintaining business as usual

This is especially important in a volatile economic environment when failing to maximize benefits realization could threaten future investments and the business model.

Better Business Cases: For Better Outcomes

In order to successfully fulfill strategy objectives through benefits realization, effective program and project business cases are crucial for providing business justification, securing money, and gaining management buy-in. Organizations that use this proven strategy should expect to save money and enhance decision-making, while project teams will have a better chance of getting the funds and support they need for change projects.

Praxis Framework

Praxis is a community-driven framework that can help you and your organization get the most out of your project, program, or portfolio investments. The Praxis Framework is the first free framework to integrate projects, programs, and portfolios in a single guide, and it combines four forms of best practice guidance – Knowledge, Method, Competency, and Capability. Praxis training and certification is an efficient approach to learning project, program, and portfolio management best practices since it covers the full spectrum of information required for the effective project, program, and portfolio management inside a single framework.

Change Management

Change is unavoidable, and for many businesses, it may become a daily event. As a result, companies place high importance on dealing with change and, more importantly, the consequences of change. As a result, it’s critical that project managers have the chance to improve their ability to deal with change before, during, and after it happens. Projects bring about transformation. The changes may be to processes, job roles, organizational structures, and types and uses of technology. Most significantly, effective change management is about how we interact with and assist individuals who are affected by the change.

AgilePM

Agile’s influence on project management continues to rapidly grow. Agile tools and frameworks are being adopted by more companies and project managers than ever before in order to improve the success – and return on investment – of projects and other change initiatives. The Agile Business Consortium’s core belief is that “greatest business value arises when projects are aligned to clear business goals, deliver regularly, and involve the participation of motivated and empowered people.” AgilePM is designed to promote this idea.

“We now recognize the notion that learning is a lifetime process of keeping abreast of change,” observed Peter Drucker, one of the most famous management thinkers. And the most pressing issue is to teach individuals “how to learn,” as well as how to integrate related techniques to maximize successful delivery, especially in a developing project economy.
