Improving Project Management for a Global Manufacturer

This global manufacturer wanted to enhance the skill and competency level of project leaders and their teams.  As well, they wanted to engage their senior managers in discussions and training on how to create an effective project management environment.  We began by undertaking a Project Culture Assessment™ to determine how ready this organization was to embrace project management.  We determined the gaps they would need to close to ensure that they would be able to manage projects successfully and the major gap was project management training.  We worked with them to train their project leaders and teams and held project leadership sessions for project sponsors and managers.  Within the first six months they had trained almost 50% of their project leaders and teams.  The outcome of our training was measurable improvements in business results for all projects.
