Many senior managers and executives talk about the need for a change in their corporate project culture. But just how important is this to an organization's success? A corporate project culture where people are given special project assignments without the tools, training or resources to execute them is extremely unproductive and damaging to the organization as a whole. Organizations that maintain this type of project culture lose millions of dollars on special projects. The losses aren't always financial; these organizations may also experience difficulty in retaining customers, both internal and external.
To increase their operational effectiveness many organizations recognize a need to change: the culture around which projects are managed, the environment in which staff work and the actual work that their staff perform. All of this to ensure that their changing customer requirements are continually being met and that the strategic plan is successfully executed.
Establishing an organizational culture that adequately supports a project management environment is best accomplished when an organization undertakes a change strategy specific to creating it.
Business Improvement Architects has developed a Project Culture Initiative (PCI™) to manage this process. A Project Culture Initiative™ is a change management process that prepares staff for the changes that will be necessary to create a project management environment in which all employees in the organization understand their role and responsibilities on assigned projects and are able to seamlessly ensure that each project is implemented successfully.
Changing project culture is a journey that requires organizations to stay the course since change is constant. This change process never really ends but the journey is as rewarding and enjoyable as the destination itself.
