Project Leadership and Management: Organizing the Company for Strategic Execution

Project Leadership and Project Management is the primary capability for accelerating execution.  Once everyone is aligned and engaged in a strategy, execution must be organized and led.  Strategy informs the organization about what needs to be done.  Project Leadership and Project Management is all about how to organize strategic execution and get it done.

Develop Capabilities for Success

Through experiential learning programs, our clients develop capabilities—needed at all levels of the company—that are usually reserved for formal project managers.  BTS provides learning opportunities for these skills to all leaders in the company, who often do not even know that they need them.

But upper managers need to select the right projects, initiatives and temporary endeavors to turn strategy into action and accelerate change. They set priorities and right-size the portfolio of these endeavors to keep focus and efficiency.

Formal project managers need to combine process, tools, and people-oriented leadership skills to complete formal projects on time, within budget, and meeting outcome requirements to align with strategy and optimize shareholder value. All other managers need project leadership and management skills to execute the many projects that become part of their job as the business changes to support strategic moves.

85% of Projects Fail: What Is the Cost of Failed Projects to Your Company?

According to the most quoted study on project effectiveness, only 32% of all IT projects are successful. The rest either fail (24%) or are challenged (44%). In another research study of over 600 projects of various types in multiple countries, “some 85% failed to meet time and budget goals, with an average overrun of 70% in time and 60% in budget.” Many smaller informal projects that are important for driving strategic execution and change often just stall and fade away.  The cost to you is:

• A waste of budget dollars and people’s energy and engagement
• Tremendous costs of lost opportunities that could have been realized if those dollars had been invested successfully
• Most important, stalled, failed or an imperfect strategy execution
