Executive's Guide to Great Project Stewardship
Overview:

The Challenge
Projects are a primary means of attaining Strategic Objectives. When we commission projects, we are committing money and resources in the hope that project deliverables will move the enterprise forward. When projects fail, we suffer the twin loss of failed investment and strategic setback. What can we do to ensure that our project investments pay off?

The Solution
First the good news: it is absolutely true that project success can be the norm in your organization. One of the key factors for regular project success is the degree of Project Stewardship exhibited by all levels of management. Project Stewardship is the sum of policy, practice and approach that management takes with respect to projects. It includes formally approved methods and informal, somewhat hidden cultural influences. In the end, Project Stewardship sets the stage for how well (or how poorly) the rest of the organization supports its projects. This workshop presents challenging concepts and encourages constructive dialog on how Project Stewardship can be improved in any organization so that projects routinely deliver their intended Business Value.
