Making Project Management Indispensable for Business Results

Prologue

Project Management Institute, USA (www.pmi.org) is a non-profit organization

engaged in advocacy of project management profession. It is more than forty

year old institute and the Project Management standards of PMI are globally

renowned. Project Management Institute (PMI) has presence in more than 180

countries with 250 chapters across the world. In India there are seven chapters

and PMI Pearl City Chapter (www.pmi-pcc.org), Hyderabad is one of the vibrant

chapters in India, and also a recipient of “2006 Community Advancement

through Project Management Award” and “2010 Recognition of Excellence

Award” in PMI Component Category.

Apart from the advocacy of PM knowledge, PMIPCC has embarked on various

activities for Academia and Civic Society development. One such

developmental activity is named as “Student Leadership Competency Building

(SLCB)”.

This is a unique initiative enabling the students of 12-22 years age to acquire

leadership competencies and enable them to be Industry Ready and Nation

Ready leaders by the time they complete their academics.

This document details the background of the initiative, what we intend to do,

and how Volunteers and Industry can be part of this journey for the benefit of

the students of the partnering institutions.

The Thought Leaders

SLCB initiative is conceived and designed by V. Srinivasa

Rao (VSR) in the year 2005, who was then a member of Board for PMI Pearl City

Chapter, and was unveiled during Asia Pacific Conference - Gyan Lahari. This

program was inaugurated by Prof. M. R. Rao, Dean, Indian School of Business

(ISB). The details about this program were shared with Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, the

then Honorable President of India. The expectations set by the then President of

India for PMIPCC is to implement this program prominently in the rural areas of

India.

Leaders are Born or Made?

We as Indian citizens dream to see our country India, among one of the

developed nations of the world. Several factors play a significant role in

contributing to the growth of a nation, and a few imperative factors being:

Quality of education

Quality of citizen life

Business growth

The future of the nation rests in hands of our young generation. It is time for India

to invest in the development of its young generation so that it is ready to take up

the future challenges. There is a compelling need to groom our young

generation in academic institutions to produce „Nation Ready‟ and „Industry

Ready‟ leaders, who can contribute in the development of the nation and

industry.

PMIPCC believes that leaders are not only born but can also be made. A movement is required

to develop the young students into leaders.

Project Management Institute, Pearl City Chapter (PMIPCC) has taken up this

challenge and conceptualized this initiative.

Nation Ready Leader: The political stability of the nation is an important factor in

determining the economic growth and quality of citizen life. The prosperity of

the nation is assured when visionary governance systems and policies are put in

place. The Nation Ready Leaders will bring innovation in the governance

methods within short span of time.

The Nation Ready leaders coming out of the academic institutions can bring

political stability and visionary leadership. These dynamic leaders can introduce

timely and innovative citizen services, create the right environment for global

business and develop innovative governance models and so on.

Industry Ready Leader: Sustainable and Continuous growth of industry is a vital

factor in determining the economic growth of the nation.

The Industry Ready leaders coming out of the Academia will have the ability to

introduce timely new products/new services, bringing distinctive competencies

and developing innovative business models and so on to address the global

business demands.

To fulfill the dream of securing a place among top developed nations, India

must produce leaders out of the students not just from premier institutes like

IITs/IIMs but also from even the ordinary academic institutes


Leadership competency building exercise is one of the great tools required to

mould the minds of young Indians to take up future Industry and Nation related

challenges and risks effectively. It is essential to plant the seeds of leadership in

the mind of students of age groups of 12 – 22. Following are some of the key

characteristics of leadership:

Bring in Difference –The ability and attitude to challenge the existing

processes, systems, policies for continuous improvements and innovation.

Work for Common Goal –The ability and attitude to define and realize the

vision, values and objectives. Leaders can motivate ordinary individuals to

work for common vision/goals.

Empower Individuals –The ability and attitude to mentor and coach others

and give them the tools, techniques and methods to solve the problems.

Gain the confidence of peers and others.

Lead by Example - The ability and attitude to solve problems without

dependency, think like entrepreneur, take the risks and stand for the

teams especially in instances of failures.

Continuous Learning – The ability and attitude to honestly assess and

understand the self, assess their knowledge, problem solving, and to

continuously strive to improve their subject matter expertise.

The Journey

It is a long but interesting journey, and we are confident to achieve this goal

with passionate volunteers of the chapter and partners who have similar

objectives with passion and commitment.

Form Core Team from industry to act as Advisory Committee to drive the

initiative

Create Training material, Rewards and recognition system, plan

Identify partners and sponsors and execute the plan

Select Model institutions

Create awareness on importance of building leadership skills of Students

in the age group 12-22 Years

Form Student Leadership Advisory Councils (SLAC) at school/college.

and urban areas of the nation


Facilitate the Student Advisory Councils to conduct International Student

Leadership Day

Create Body of Knowledge for building leadership competencies at

academic institutes (SLCB BOK)

Provide SLCB BOK to the economically challenged academic institutes in

India at no or nominal price

Monitor the trends and release new standards/guidelines, mentor

Students, Nation, Industry start getting the results.

Compelling need from the Academic Institutions..

As strongly felt by the industry, it is a compelling need and expectation from the

academic institutions that the students be made ready with required soft skills in

addition to academic excellence.

While it is important for students to excel in their studies, it is equally crucial that

the institutions provide opportunity for students to gain Leadership skills and in a

way make them ready for the nation and the industry.

Leadership Center of Excellence (LCE): PMIPCC also has setup Leadership

Center of Excellence at the chapter with group of enthusiastic and passionate

leaders from the industry, who are ready to provide the required guidance and

groom the leaders of tomorrow.

Student Leadership Advisory Council (SLAC): PMI Pearl City Chapter provides the

required guidance for the academic institutions to setup “SLAC” comprising

Teachers, Parents, Alumni and Students. PMIPCC enables the SLAC at the

institution to be able to conduct several programs and create mentoring pool,

and act as first level contact for the students.

Modus Operandi

PMIPCC collaborates with the institution and help the institution setting up

Student Leadership Advisory Council (SLAC), a local body at the institution for

facilitation of the “Student Leadership Competency Building” Program:

PMIPCC – LCE and the institutions‟ SLAC, together plan a profiling of

the program suitable for the students of the institution.

PMIPCC Initially conducts few training programs, on some of the

knowledge areas through its industry experts.


PMIPCC conducts the sessions, in the same pattern, for different

Knowledge areas in Leadership Foundation, Leadership Transformation

and Leadership Sustenance Phases as follow up sessions.

PMIPCC facilitates setup up a full-fledged SLAC to conduct the training

programs, enhance mentoring people, collaborate with alumni,

PMIPCC-LCE, and help students in building Leadership skills.

Logistics like Lunch, hall, projector to be provided by the institution.

The students reap the benefits of the program and

Nation & Industry reaps the benefits of the SLCB Program, WITH

TOMORROW‟S LEADERS.

What is in it for Students?

As part of the journey of SLCB, the students will traverse through three phases.

Leadership Foundation -> Leadership Transformation -> Leadership Sustenance

In each phase, there are different Leadership Knowledge Areas identified, and

students will experience and master different leadership traits, and imbibe them

to apply in their life.

The students will get the knowledge of the expectations from the industry and

the nation, and the trainings provided by the industry experts will help

transforming themselves as „Leaders of Tomorrow‟.

Key takeaways for students
