This site focuses on the transformation of project portfolio management (PPM) beyond the traditional model via developing an entrepreneurial mindset to embrace change, foster innovation, and deliver business value.
It is not intended to help you become an entrepreneur to start your own business. Instead, it will concentrate on exploring and embracing the distinguishing traits of the entrepreneur to expand the vision of project management and empower project practictioners to become strategic business partners.
According to Daptiv, a leader in PPM software, project entrepreneurship will become a key focus for PPM.
“Project entrepreneurship means project managers must develop an entrepreneurial mindset. This mindset will enable project and portfolio leaders to take on risks, foster innovation and focus on business value, rather than just looking at the traditional triple constraints of time, budget and quality.”
The following are just a few of the topics this site will cover:
- Entrepreneurial Traits to enable project practitioners to deliver effectively in a business environment that relies on innovation and the ability to handle ambiguity to remain competitive.
- Transformational Leadership to foster an environment of trust and mutual respect to embrace change and encourage creativity to drive innovation.
- Business Intelligence, Big Data & Analytics to obtain valuable insights to drive innovation.
- Data-Driven Decision Making to solve business problems and Six Sigma, as a data-driven approach focused on voice of customer to achieve breakthrough performance improvements to deliver optimal business value.
- Risk Strategy to encourage positive risk taking to achieve optimal results and add value to the business.
- Delivery Methodologies required for successful delivery in a dynamic and complex business environment. Project practitioners will be required to adopt new approaches and master business-driven and iterative delivery techniques more aptly suited to handle dynamic, complex, and ambiguous projects.
