“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 a number of support systems to guarantee that they not only learn but also use the relevant abilities in the workplace. We 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.
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). Version 2 of the Government Functional Standard ‘GovS 002: Project Delivery’ was just issued by this organization.
GovS 002 does not cover all of the features from prior government manuals, but it does have the significant benefit of combining projects, programs, and portfolios (P3). It’s a high-level ‘policy paper’ that relies on more specific information – such as the Praxis Framework – to fill in the gaps.
The Project & Change Capability Framework exists within the NHS. 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.
The Praxis Framework has been endorsed by independent project management professional organizations, proving its quality and “worth to the profession.” For example, Australia’s main project management organization (AIPM) has recognized the Praxis Framework Bridging Course, while the UK’s Association for Project Management (APM) recognizes Praxis Framework as a path to becoming a Chartered Project Professional (ChPP).
Government agencies must constantly use resources as effectively as feasible. Praxis is designed to make the initial investment in good practice very cost-effective while also ensuring that good practice is actively integrated into the workplace, maximizing the return on investment.
The Praxis Framework’s first and most obvious virtue is that it is completely free and available online. There are no license fees or manuals to buy. 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 render earlier information outdated. Our 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. Forget about techniques like PRINCE2® or MSP® for process advice, and the APM Body of Knowledge for direction on the functions that make up project delivery. 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.
Praxis is used in a variety of initiatives, programs, and portfolios. There’s no need for separate manuals and training, and there’s no need to reconcile the various terminologies. The Praxis Framework is utilized as the main source 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.
It’s one thing to have access to good practice and another to really put it into practice. A lot of money invested in 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 work 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 propagate effective 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.
