Project Management As A Core Corporate Competence

Individuals developing as project managers need to develop not only the technical aspect of project management but also the attributes of a competent project manager, and combine it with business knowledge and leadership qualities. For corporations, developing project management as a core corporate competence includes making it part of how strategy is executed as well as identifying individuals with the right traits including leadership qualities, then providing them with a career path and a competence framework. Corporations should start by identifying where they have project management gaps and define strategies to reduce these gaps. Building project management as a core competence is not an ending or a resting place, but rather, a constant journey as we adapt to the changing business environment.
