PMI-PBA Exam Prep (3-Day In-Person Course)

Description:

Projects play a critical role in the progress of a company. Their success can facilitate entry into new markets, implement cutting edge technologies, or activate long awaited operational assets. Conversely, their failure can stifle progress, aggravate timelines, disrupt strategies, or herald a firm’s disappearance altogether.

A company’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is faced with a multitude of challenges when considering the commercial and economic viability of the projects the company is undertaking. As not only the figurehead of corporate finance, but also the penultimate individual often borne with the burden of reporting success (or failure) of projects, it can be a stressful existence.

Organizations that stick with the status quo risk not just treading water but sinking. Now an essential business asset, change happens  through projects. Organizations are undergoing a fundamental paradigm shift in which projects are no longer adjacent to operations but instead primary to how work gets done and problems get solved. In today's C-suite and tomorrow's - it is the portfolio that disrupts, innovates, that expands and thrives. In many ways, the organization is its projects led by a variety of titles, executed through a variety of titles, executed through  a variety of approaches, and focused unwaveringly on delivering financial and societal value. This is what we call The Project Economy.

Most organizations today realize they are managing their business by projects. Project management is no longer restricted to a few functional domains but is now utilized throughout the organization. Today, project management is viewed as a strategic competency needed for corporate growth rather than a career path. Project management is becoming the vehicle needed to capture, evaluate, and implement the best practices needed for continuous improvements in the firm’s performance.

With so much change, executives are increasingly turning to project leaders to help them turn ideas into reality. And that often requires tried-and-true skills with emerging ones. So, yes, small business owners and entrepreneurs must be equipped with new agile project leadership soft and hard skills to survive and thrive in this complex, uncertain, and dynamic business environment.
