SIDESTEP COMPLEXITY: PROJECT MANAGEMENT FOR SMALL- AND MEDIUM-SIZED ORGANIZATIONS
Far more than just a process-oriented tactical competency, project management increases project success rates, creates efficiencies, improves alignment with organizational strategies, and ultimately, increases competitive advantage. Leading companies like IBM, SAP, Accenture, Bank of America, BAE, Boeing, Citigroup, HP, Deliotte, Oracle, Procter & Gamble, and many more have all come to value project management and attribute their success to its practices.
