Leading Change Towards Enterprise Project Management
Academia.edu
June 04, 2004
Leading change to realize the benefits of Enterprise Project Management (EPM)comes to those who identify certain traits and patterns of the “animals” in the political jungle that they and their environment exhibit. A political plan helps to assess, conduct stakeholder analysis, and decide on proactive steps. Establishing a project office and expanding its capabilities becomes a pivotal role in making EPM happen. An effective change agent does not become a victim, but rather embraces organizational politics
to achieve broader success.

A Guide to Better Times
Englund Project Management Consultancy

An Executive Eco-Guide
Englund Project Management Consultancy
September 01, 2022
A widespread desire to improve organizational performance may be sated by
focusing on a key set of necessary and high priority actions—imperatives. An
essential focus on creating excellence in people, processes, and the working
environment reaps tremendous benefits and enables executives and their
organizations to achieve desired objectives. Leadership skills and environmental
factors provide significant impetus towards sustainable success.
An ecosystem is a community of interacting organisms and their physical
environment. A “green ecosystem” creates an environment for consistent,
predictable, and sustainable success. It eliminates “toxic” substances and provides
projects with a physical and mental context that allows them to prosper. This
allows management to focus on overall organizational success, not just on
individual project performance. People then feel like they are constantly
contributing to organizational and personal knowledge and creating growth.
