Want to save 11% on project & programme costs?

Research from PMI®, published in the 2015 edition of the highly valued Pulse of the Profession®, states that organisations continue wasting US$109 million for every US$1 billion invested in projects and programmes. That’s almost 11%! 

Luckily the research also shows that organisations who embrace, value, and utilise project management — and both recognise and attribute their success to it — report more success, less waste and achieve greater competitive advantage.

So how do you change from being an organisation that wastes 11% on projects and programmes to a successful organisation? Here’s your to-do list:

1. Fully understand the value of project management
2. Have actively engaged executive sponsors
3. Align projects to strategy
4. Develop and maintain project management talent
5. Establish a well-aligned and effective Project Management Office
6. Use standardised project management practices throughout the organisation

Overwhelmed? Here are some examples of how CUPE can help you complete your to-do list:
