Book excerpt: Accelerate delivery of your organization’s strategy and transform results for the whole organization. Things aren’t getting done in your company, and the C-suite is unhappy. They’re blaming it on the project managers. It’s up to you to set up new processes and standards, but are you being set up to fail? Laura Barnard has been there. She knows that the usual approaches don’t address the real problems and they don’t involve the people who really need to be involved. In The IMPACT Engine, Barnard provides the six stages of her successful system, an iterative value delivery framework that will continuously elevate your team’s capabilities and services to support the full strategy lifecycle. She brings stories from her own experience and the experiences of those she has trained, giving you detailed resources and worksheets to guide you through the process. Beginning with the keys to adopting the right mindset, Barnard leads you through assessing the organization and getting to know all the stakeholders, defining the services that will have the highest impact, planning the journey of delivering that impact, delivering sustainable value, and then using those learnings and results to evolve your organization—so you can continue the cycle and deliver more and better each time. Delivering change in organizations often seems difficult. Barnard shows the way to lead effective change by involving everyone—decreasing workload and increasing efficiency in the process.

The author decided to activate a comparison between the competencies and the experiences typical of the professionals and the managers’ concrete activities, in order to connect two different views. This project, aimed to connect practice and theory and create a knowhow useful for companies’ activity, has identify six primary themes. First of all, it propose a predictive model for current organizations, meant as idiosyncratic combination of projects and processes. They then analyze the concept and the role of PMO, as central figure in determining the efficient control for the transformational process, as required by the business digitalization. Another chapter is related to a critical analysis of the company’s functions that a PMO could do (they are mostly seven). The different activities’ combinations create different PMO’s models, which have to be plan in correspondence of the different business’s needs. Another important analysis concerns the coding processes related to the project’s knowhow (reporting, Project Review Meeting, issue logs, i.e.). Peculiar attention is given to the risk management, topic that is always more central in a dynamic environment, oriented to the resources’ optimization. This contest is completed in the last chapter, in which are reported some considerations from interviews made at CIOs of leading companies, about IT and project management issues.

Download or read book Management by Process written by John Jeston and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-09-10 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Business Processes are one of the critical drivers for any organisation in realizing their organizational strategic objectives. This means that management must constantly review and realign organizational processes to reflect the massively unfixed nature of business demands, such as changing market circumstances; the changing demands of new customer and existing customers; new products and pricing; changes in strategy; and linking processes to new partners and suppliers. Establishing and maintaining a process-focused organization is critical as organizations are pressured to keep achieving further growth and profitability, preferably in double digits, whilst the avenues available for achieving this growth are getting more and more restricted due to legislation, global competition and saturation in the market place. This highly accessible book provides a clear and thorough exposition of the six key dimensions necessary for the creation of a process-focused organization: * process governance * strategic alignment * methods (execution/implementation) * people * culture * technology. Each of these critical Dimensions are given a systematic and revealing treatment, examining each Dimension in terms of: * Importance * Key trends in this area * Elements that comprise the dimension * Detailed description of the elements that comprise the ideal or visionary position * Road map of how to get there from various starting positions.
