It's tough to miss just how excited Ed Andrews, Ph.D., is about the Researching the Value of Project Management study. As PMI's director, academic and education programs & services, Dr. Andrews has been patiently waiting while executives clamored for proof. And now PMI has it: more than 60 cases studies, nearly 450 interviews--many with people in the executive suite. And the study is not limited by geography, by industry or by company size.
They talked. The investigators listened--and learned. The initial results show not only that implementing project management drives business results, but that some companies are even using it as a selling point.
Of course, there is no silver bullet. Organizations do have to find the right fit.
For more, tune in after tomorrow's presentation when Dr. Andrews interviews principal investigators Janice Thomas, Ph.D., and Mark Mullaly, PMP.
