  • Explore Project Management best practice
  • Increase Project Value
  • Get more out your Project Management training
  • Improve Team Work

 

Do you recognize this?

52% of the projects fail. How? We trained our employees, employees passed the Prince2® certification, we implemented the Project Management Frameworks but we still run out off budget, finish to late and we take too many risks.

Why is this?

  1. Most of the training is focused on getting certified, which means, “Train to pass the exam”. But we forget to teach the students how to apply the theory in day-to-day work.
  2. We implemented the Frameworks, but we did not train new behavior, we did not define a shared picture how we all see the way we run our projects.
  3. We did not implement learning cycles. We did not learn from each project closure. the lessons learned are NOT shared with the other colleagues.

“After running the Challenge of Egypt™ we now have a clear picture of how we like to run our projects. We explore the key roles, the key processes and the Key behaviors. We used the action list in our day-to-day work.”
