Capability Development

Building a credible project management capability is becoming increasingly important as businesses are moving towards a ‘project organisation’ model. Unfortunately, standard, ‘off-the-shelf’ project management training packages often fail to deliver the anticipated benefits. PM Capability Development needs to be structured around providing the insights, tools, techniques and case studies that provide the ‘know-how’, but more importantly, it must also include practical and powerful coaching, mentoring and delivery methods.

PIPC aims to transfer knowledge to client teams on all engagements as part of the consulting ‘value-add’ proposition. However, in many situations a concerted, focused programme is required to instill these techniques into new or expanding teams to provide enduring benefit. The business case supporting these engagements is compelling – with tangible improvements in project execution quality driving greater benefits with reduced overruns/overspend, and a reduced reliance on external resource to deliver change in future. PIPC has successfully delivered Capability Development engagements with AMP, Barclays, BNP Paribas, DBS Bank, SEB Asset Management and Willis.
