Perhaps it’s time to adopt a new project management framework as the NHS evolves? Below are three reasons why they believe the Praxis Framework guidelines and training should be considered.

“The NHS Project Profession attracts, develops, and retains project professionals and practitioners, ensuring the NHS has the capacity and capability to bring sustainable change to the system for the benefit of patients,” according to the NHS Project Profession’s vision.

To realize this goal, project delivery professionals in the NHS will require several support systems to guarantee that they not only learn but also use the relevant abilities in the workplace. They look at three reasons why we believe the Praxis Framework will help you make a genuine impact and increase project success in the NHS in this post.

1. Compatibility with Government and NHS Standards

The Infrastructure Projects Authority has been the primary source of government-wide project delivery guidelines since the sale of the government’s joint venture AXELOS to PeopleCert (IPA). This organization has recently published version 2 of the Government Functional Standard ‘GovS 002: Project Delivery’.

GovS 002 does not include the details of previous government guides but has the big advantage of integrating projects, programs, and portfolios (P3). It is a high-level ‘policy document’ that depends upon more detailed material – like the Praxis Framework to fill in the gaps. They have created a detailed document showing how you can use Praxis to meet GovS 002 guidelines, mapped against GovS 002 section by section and it is available to download from the Praxis website.

This outlines the skills and career routes that are required within the organization. The Praxis Framework’s method, knowledge, and encyclopedia parts give knowledge and direction to support these competencies. They are constantly mapping government and NHS standards to the Praxis Framework to demonstrate how they interact.

Independent project management professional bodies have endorsed the Praxis Framework, confirming its quality and “value to the profession”. The Praxis Framework Bridging Course has for example been endorsed by Australia’s leading project management association (AIPM) and the UK’s Association for Project Management (APM) recognizes Praxis Framework as a route to becoming a Chartered Project Professional (ChPP).

The Praxis Framework competencies and responsibilities are currently being added to Comaea for those whose HR departments use it.

2. Return on Investment

Government agencies must constantly use resources as effectively as possible. Praxis is designed to make the initial investment in good practice very cost-effective while also ensuring that good practice is actively integrated with the workplace, maximizing the return on investment.

The Praxis Framework’s first and most obvious feature is that it is completely free and available online. or This implies that the framework is constantly up to date. They may use input from the Praxis community to improve and expand advice. Every five to seven years, there is no substantial change that can declare previous information obsolete. The users are constantly up to speed on what’s going on in the profession when they use Praxis as a reference.

Praxis is the first framework to incorporate both a Body of Knowledge and a Methodology. No more relying on methods like PRINCE2® or MSP® for process guidance, or the APM Body of Knowledge for guidance on the functions that make up project delivery discipline. They’re all in one location, and they’re all connected.

The website also goes where no other source of information does. The Models, Tools, and Techniques Encyclopaedia supplements the main instruction by ensuring that you have all you need.

They even provide tools like Praxis Local: a free download that gets you started in tailoring the framework to your specific needs and integrating our generic good practice with your specialist in-house material.

There’s no need for separate guidelines and training, and there’s no need to reconcile the various terminologies. The Praxis Framework is utilized as a fundamental reference by other groups who include it in other certification programs, such as PMO certifications because it is royalty-free. This also guarantees that your organization’s project delivery experts speak the same language.

3. Embedding good practice

It’s one thing to have access to good practice and another to really put it into practice. A lot of money spent on training and development does not provide the expected results, according to research. Knowledge transfer to the workplace is frequently more difficult than it should be. At Praxis Framework, we help to identify and eliminate barriers to good practice adoption.

Our checklists are the same as those used in surgery across the NHS and around the world. These have decreased surgical mortality by 40% over the world, and we believe they will be equally beneficial in project delivery. They not only bridge the gap between training and implementation, but they also strive to spread successful project delivery practices throughout the organization since Sponsors, Team Members, and Stakeholders may access them.

In terms of the many personalities in a project delivery team, most project delivery guidance is “one size fits all.” Many personal assessment tools use the DISC model to define personality type, which Team Praxis uses to characterize processes and functions.

The above-mentioned checklists serve as the foundation for the Capability Maturity assessment tool. It allows organizations to keep track of their capacity maturity in real-time. It is faster and less expensive than set-piece assessments and improvement programs as a bottom-up approach to organizational improvement.
