Executive Guide:
The Seven
Keys to Project Success
by Paula K. Martin
Founder and an executive consultant for Martin Training Associates
Why should you
care about projects? Because everything that is new or improved
in an organization happens through projects and the effectiveness
of your portfolio of projects drives your organization’s
ability to add new products and services, expand its capacity
to deliver existing products/services, improve organizational
functioning, meet regulatory, safety and environmental requirements
and improve business process efficiency.
It is through projects that you reduce your time to market, churn out more products/processes/services, faster, improve productivity and reduce costs. It is through projects that your strategic plan is turned into reality. Projects provide increased growth and increased profits. Should you be concerned about how well the projects in your organization are performing? You bet you should.
If you want to know what to do to reduce time to market, if you're trying to move up the CMM ladder, if your projects aren't producing the results you'd like – this first of a series of guides for executives will give you the information you need to be more successful.
