>> OPMCube® (Organizational Project, Programme and Portfolio Maturity Model)
Today’s organization takes up Programme and Projects in accordance to their contribution to the organization’s strategic objectives and overall level of risk. The key challenge in today’s organization is not only to deliver the projects but also to sustain the changing business environments and to become competitive in global markets.
In order to achieve strategic initiatives, organizations invest on various project management initiatives and tools including global certification programmes. Time and again various studies have proved that internal measurements related to such initiatives are lacking to quite some extent. The fundamental questions need to be addressed are:
- Whether our ‘Initiatives’ are in alignment with ‘Intentions‘?
- How to measure the initiatives in alignment with ‘Intent‘ of organization’s strategy?
- Whether to invest in new initiatives?
