Hi Everyone. I have been reading a lot of stuff about project management lately. This includes organizations that are moving towards a project based approach. My concern is whether this really can work in organizations that are not IT companies or even in IT companies.
I work on projects, but it is not the core of the business. Collins (2003) wrote that technology was the accelorator of a business, but Great Businesses knew what their core business was and stuck to it– perfected it and used technology wisely. When I think of that, I don’t see how being a project based organization can improve your core business unless your business is services to other companies.
What do you think? I am trying to get a feel one way or the other about the benefits/negatives.
If you have article suggestions, please point me to them for reading. Thanks again.
