9th Annual UT Dallas Project Management Symposium: Vision to Value (Thu. 13 Aug, 2015 6:00 am - Fri. 14 Aug, 2015 3:00 pm)
9th Annual UT Dallas Project Management Symposium
Next-Gen Management of Projects: Performance, People and Processes
August 13-14, 2015
Join us as we bring our very popular 'Vision to Value' topic to the University of Texas for the 9th Annual Project Management Symposium on Thursday August 13th from 1:20 pm - 2:20 pm
Leaders define vision. A business turns vision into value. Project Managers drive the projects that build the capabilities transforming businesses. Ergo, Project Managers are enablers for turning vision into value.
To achieve this, project managers, like you, must build value-driven organizations that are seasoned yet adaptive, structured yet agile, pragmatic yet innovative. It is not a simple feat. Four basic tenants allow you to do this:
- Strategy to meet corporate goals drives all of your work.
- Work cannot start until the people to complement the strategy are in place.
- Processes need to fit the individual projects (not too lean, not to heavy, and sized for each project).
- Technology is only a tool to improve efficiency—it is only a means to an end.
To start down this path you must:
- Print and read your corporate strategy.
- Map all projects to that strategy.
- Focus on the top three corporate initiatives.
- Build a laser focused plan.
These steps provide the core elements to help you build and lead a powerful organization that provides value, accelerates business growth, and is a strategic component of your company.
