Corporate Governance and Strategic Projects

by
Paul C. Dinsmore, PMP, PMI Fellow and Pedro C Ribeiro, MBA, PMP

Experience indicates that brilliantly formulated strategies that are not effectively executed may result in loss to shareholders. Ensuring the formulation and execution of strategy is perhaps the most important factor for organizational success.

Profitable growth through seamless execution of strategies is the best way to assure the creation of long-term value for shareholders and one of the key tasks of CEOs. Without a structured approach to execution, strategic goals cannot be attained. Execution is critical to success and requires a disciplined process to take a strategy and make it work. Research indicates that high performance organizations utilize best practices that relate strategy to execution of projects.

Governança Corporativa e Projetos Estratégicos

por
Paul C. Dinsmore, PMP, PMI Fellow e Pedro C Ribeiro, MBA, PMP

A experiência indica que estratégias brilhantemente concebidas, mas não implementadas eficazmente, podem resultar em perdas para os acionistas. Assegurar a concepção e a execução de estratégias é talvez o mais importante fator para o sucesso organizacional.

Alcançar um crescimento sustentável e rentável através de uma execução precisa de estratégias é a melhor forma de assegurar a criação de valor para os acionistas, e uma das tarefas primordiais dos CEOs (Chief Executive Officer/Diretor Presidente). Sem uma abordagem estruturada para a execução, alvos estratégicos poderão não ser atingidos. A execução é crítica para o sucesso de uma organização e exige um processo disciplinado para fazer as estratégias acontecerem. Pesquisas indicam que as  organizações de alto desempenho utilizam melhores práticas que relacionam estratégia à execução de seus projetos.

Project Manager Skills Shortage – Disaster or Challenge?

by
Michael Young

Immediate action is needed to pull project management out of the skills-shortage mire to the clear water the profession seeks for its future.

Every day there’s more news of the national skills shortage in Australia.  Whether in the Government or corporate sectors, but particularly in the ICT sector, it can spell disaster. The news stories of the past six months contain phrases like: “fight to attract workers”, “war for talent”, “skills crisis” and other panic-inspiring slogans.  The latest headline “Defence faces $10bn project delays” (Australian Financial Review March 13) points to defence projects that are at least a year behind schedule and raises concerns about the country’s ability to adequately equip its fighting forces as well as industry’s capacity to handle a boom in new project spending.
