Managing Project Outcomes for Business Impact

Move the organization forward by building the project manager’s organizational capability.

Managing Project Outcomes for Business Impact

Projects have become the change agents for an organization to continually move forward. Projects can no longer be done in isolation with a singular focus; they are part of the overall integrated business strategy for the organization.

No longer is it good enough to be a stellar project manager in all aspects of the triple constraint. Project managers are now being asked to:

  • Ensure projects are strategically aligned with strong expectations for very specific business outcomes
  • Act as an expert consultant on the project and push back when issues arise that are counterproductive to the organization’s strategy
  • Understand the direct business impact of projects on other departments and the organization
  • Demonstrate to the business partners how the project strategically moves the company forward and creates real business impact
  • Manage up, down, and across the organization to ensure that the business impact of the project is fully realized
  • Move away from a strict discipline of project “deliverables” and move toward project outcomes that have a real business impact on the bottom line
