Why Projects Don’t Make it?

�Traditional PM insufficient:

»Focused on meeting time and budget

»Don’t deal with changes & differences

»Don’t deal with business aspects

»Don’t deal with team leadership

�PM is 80% art and 20% science.

Next Paradigm of PMHow do we see a project?

Traditional Project

Management

A collection of activities

that need to be completed

on time and budget

Strategic Project

Leadership®

An organizational process

that needs to achieve

business results

The New Approach

� Projects are Done for Business Results

� You are the Leader, and Responsible for Project Business Results

� You are a Mini CEO!

� Combine strategic, operational, and human sides of project leadership, and dynamically adapt them to the specific context
