If you are not careful, using PRINCE2 can be seen as just one more project overhead for the business to bear. This short event explains what PRINCE2 is, but also shows the real advantage to the organisation if the method is understood properly and then used intelligently.

Good project management is a business issue.  The managing director of a UK ship fittings company said ...

"The standard of project management in my
company directly affects the bottom line."

That's true if you're in the private sector, the public sector or the third, charity, sector
It's just that in the last two, your 'bottom line' is the service you can deliver for your budget.
Waste money with poor project management, and that is less for service delivery or profit.

Senior managers in most organisations would react with some energy if an area of their business was not being run professionally or if large amounts of money were being wasted. However, for many organisations this does not include their projects. It is often the case that even in very well run, large scale businesses projects are something of an exception. Things are not done professionally – just look at the instances of project failure resulting from known problems – and large amounts of money can be wasted in bureaucratic approaches, unnecessary procedures and unnecessary project delay.

The Inspirandum briefing for senior managers shows just how PRINCE2 can be used to excellent effect to help drive projects forward, sometimes very rapidly. If you have a project due to save $25 million a year, presumably you would like to see it brought in as quickly as possible provided that does not compromise quality or introduce unacceptable levels of risk. We show you just how PRINCE2 can work to help deliver your projects professionally and so achieve organisational objectives.

We argue that to be worth doing, PRINCE2 has to ‘earn its keep’. That means senior managers must make sure that it is applied sensibly in the organisation and undertake sufficient supervision to make sure that has been done. Project management is an important area of business and we show how PRINCE2 can help your staff be just as professional about project management as your accounts staff are about the organisation’s finances.

In turn that means understanding and support from the top. Unless your accounts staff know that you take organisational accounting seriously, you cannot expect them to take the work seriously and do the job well. So then with projects and PRINCE2.

 

iconaudience suitable for

The PRINCE2 for Senior Managers Briefing is suitable for senior managers who want to know what PRINCE2 is, why it is being suggested or used in their organisation and what the business benefits are of using it. It is suitable for groups of 3 up to 25, but for best interaction we recommend a maximum of around 12.

icon2  course length

This briefing can be run in between 1 and 2 hours. Clearly, the closer it is to 2 hours then the more it can be explained and the more opportunity there will be for important discussion on the implications for the organisation. It can also be run as a lunchtime event which has proved helpful where senior managers need to hear about PRINCE2 in the short term but have very full diaries.
