Workshop / Implementation based on project
Effective project management will give your organization the competitive advantage you
desire. The business world is rapidly becoming time-based as well as cost-based. Effective project management will allow you to get a product or service to market faster than anyone else.
Effective project management will also help you control the cost of your work better than others, so you can sell your products and services at lower margins.
In the book entitled "In Search of Excellence in Project Management" the benefits of project management were
numerous.
Cited examples include:
- Hewlett-Packard has shown increased sales
and customer satisfaction
- 3M has reduced its product development
time from four to three years on average
- Radian International has garnered more
repeat business and happier clients; it has also reduced cost overruns and write-offs
- Battelle has achieved better on-time and
on-budget product deliver; it also has been offered noncompetitive contract extensions
Effective project management has demonstrated the following benefits:
- Increased profits
