Capability
Development
Building a project management capability within an
organisation is becoming increasingly important as businesses
strive to increase the rate of return on what seems
like continually reducing investment. Unfortunately,
standard or ‘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, but more importantly, it must also include
practical and powerful coaching, mentoring and delivery
methods.
PIPC Approach
By raising Project and Programme Management Capability,
businesses will more successfully:
- prioritise projects for strategic advantage
- lead projects and enable the full realisation of
possible benefits
- increase the rate of return of projects
- build lasting relationships with customers, shareholders
and other stakeholders
- communicate the ongoing value of projects within
the corporate economic context
- reap process, productivity and profitability improvements
across the organisation
- retain key project management skills within the
organisation.
The Project Management Capability Development plan
must continually focus an organisation on improving
its capability. This will assess the organisation’s
current capability, determine the target level and map
out a plan for achieving this – including the
measurement of ongoing benefits.
To help consistently map an organisation’s Project
Management Capability, we have developed a Project Management
Maturity Model (PM3). An integral part of this is the
development of processes to efficiently build and enhance
an organisation’s Project Management Capability,
along with the implementation of any lacking project
management components.
Our approach to improving Project Management Capability
focuses on delivering value to the organisation against
a set of key performance indicators. The approach is
of primary benefit to any organisation that faces any
of the following issues:
- a history of not achieving project objectives
- failing to deliver projects and tasks within time
and cost constraints
- key project management and technical resources
are regularly overloaded
- projects which have stopped or just run-out of
steam
- the dynamics of the business are forcing increasing
project complexity
- not enough competent project managers.
PIPC Proposition
To address these specific needs, we offer a comprehensive
suite of Project Management Capability Development programmes,
tailored precisely to the needs of each business with
whom we work.
Some of our most popular courses include:
PM courses:
- Project Management Fundamentals
- Advanced Project Management
- Project Sponsorship
- Programme Management
- Project Leadership (soft skills)
- Portfolio Optimisation
- Enterprise Project Management
Development Workshops:
- Project Governance
- Project Initiation and Planning
- Managing Project Financials
- Risk & Issue Management
- Change Management
- Project Team Dynamics, Motivation
We ensure that all Project Management Capability Development
programmes are heavily geared towards practical application
– minimising the time spent in the classroom and
maximising the benefit to the individual, teams or divisions
involved.
The scope of our capability development programmes
include:
- a universally recognised capability measure for
organisations to be able to benchmark themselves with
competitors (PM3)
- a comprehensive capability development plan focussed
on maximising the benefits delivered
- active mentoring – where PIPC provides project
managers for specific projects to shadow and mentor
an organisation’s project managers
- challenge sessions – where PIPC regularly
meets with selected project managers to coach and
challenge them on various aspects of their project
- highly interactive workshops – followed by
integration of that learning into actual projects
and ongoing mentoring to ensure sustainability of
the learning
