Download as PPTX, PDF1 like672 views
The document discusses five real-world examples of organizations that improved their project management maturity through incremental improvements. The first example discusses a municipal agency that improved from a maturity level of 1.4 to 2.6 in one year. The second example involves a mining company that streamlined processes, reducing efforts by 50% and improving from a level of 2.5 to 3.6. The third example discusses a telecommunications company that increased its win rate and contract values while investing less than 10% of its budget. The last two examples outline maturity improvements and process overhauls at additional organizations.

- 11. 11 REAL WORLD EXAMPLE 1 Regional municipal agency in the United States with 2600 employees and an Information Technology team of 48 staff • Technology projects severely mismanaged • IT staff felt overworked • Executives had little insight into work efforts “What is wrong with our IT group?”

- 13. 13 REAL WORLD EXAMPLE 1 • The agency has a strategic plan that helps not just IT, but entire agency • Priorities are known and resources allocated appropriately • Stakeholder satisfaction is significantly improved • IT staff morale is markedly higher • Maturity level 1.4 2.6 in one year

- 20. 20 REAL WORLD EXAMPLE 4 U.S. state government agency with 9000 personnel across 170 field offices • Mandate to overhaul the agency’s existing infrastructure and supporting processes • Detailed business process mapping not an option • Significant potential resistance to change “Develop the change transformation plan.”
- 21. 21 REAL WORLD EXAMPLE 4
- 22. 22 REAL WORLD EXAMPLE 4 • 192 processes identified that should not be changed • 177 specific actions • Sequenced • Levels of effort • Tied to achievement goals • Change readiness assessment • Talent assessment Requirements gathering and planning model for other state agencies and departments
- 23. REAL WORLD EXAMPLE 5 Multibillion USD, multinational research and product development firm with 4000 staff • Culture of innovation • No internal mechanisms to prioritise • Inability to constrain opportunities • Unduly long development cycles “How do we effectively implement project management practices within our culture?” 23
- 24. 24 REAL WORLD EXAMPLE 5
- 25. 25 REAL WORLD EXAMPLE 5 • Informed incremental improvement initiative already producing results • Prioritisation mechanism established and supported by associates • Initial methodology, toolkit, and support mechanisms deployed Improvement initiative is ongoing and has gained significant support across multiple stakeholder communities within the division and is being considered across the company
