Title: Project Management Principles for High Performance, Profit, and Customer Satisfaction
Three Questions modern day business owners and organizations need to ask
By Larry Adeyemi
The days when a company (small or big) could offer a new product or service and still maintain long-term competitive dominance are gone without innovation and adoption of a new approach such as project management best practices. Business owners and organizations need to understand that the life cycle of new product design, production and delivery to the market place or customer is measured in terms of months or even weeks rather than years. Thanks to innovative technologies.
Product and service delivery by small businesses and organizations are schedule-driven and inherently risky. Between time constraints, technical challenges and shifting consumer behavior, things that can go wrong often do. Overcoming these challenges means businesses and organizations need to use project management best practices to achieve competitive advantage while adding value to their bottom line.
According to an Economist Intelligence report (May 2010), 80 percent of global executives believed having project management as a core competency helped them remain competitive during the recession. It means the delivery of business outcomes is realized through the success of projects, and in essence that is the way that project management strategies drive organizational success.
At this powerful event, you’ll learn:
• Tips on how to accelerate development and delivery of your products and services
• How to develop project management MindMapTM to jump start and sustain high performing team, and profitable business including meeting or exceeding your customers’ shifting needs and expectations
Additionally, we’ll prompt you to ask 3 critical questions that your business or organization may be facing as a basis for creating projects that can potentially deliver successful business or organizational outcomes.
I love to help individual and businesses or organizations to overcome project management challenges that may be stalling getting your products or services delivered consistently on time, on budget and meeting or exceeding your customers’ expectations.
